therefore its great investment...
but gold cagr over 40 years period - 9.8%
over the same period inflation -6.3%
so gold real return =9.8%-6.3%=3.5%
during the same period Sensex return= 16.3%
Sensex real return =16.3%-6.3%=10%
but gold cagr over 40 years period - 9.8%
over the same period inflation -6.3%
so gold real return =9.8%-6.3%=3.5%
during the same period Sensex return= 16.3%
Sensex real return =16.3%-6.3%=10%

Usually, we all look at the price of Gold over 10,20,30 years and look at how much it has appreciated and think what a great investment it is.
There is a problem with our logic.

Most of the appreciation in the price of Gold comes from Currency depreciation or Inflation. The real return is not much better than a Bank FD rate.
"Warren Buffet has an interesting view Gold"-
"Warren Buffet has an interesting view Gold"-
He believes that since Gold is an unproductive asset he would not invest in it since it doesn't itself produce anything.
