1 tola of gold today = 150 months of daily chai at ₹10 each — gold is now truly 'liquid luxury'
Your 10 grams of gold now costs more than a year's school fees
Key Takeaways
Rebalance now: if gold exceeds 15-20% of your total investment portfolio, consider booking partial profits and moving into diversified equity mutual funds.
Check your gold holdings: log into your demat account and review your Sovereign Gold Bond (SGB) or gold ETF positions to understand your current exposure at today's elevated prices.
Avoid panic-buying physical gold jewellery at these levels — making charges (8-25%) and GST (3%) add significant cost over the spot price, making jewellery the least efficient gold investment.
