My wife says Physical Gold is always the standard and some land assets for the future of the family. Saving money and buying gold or assets is always the way to go forward these days.
Bitcoin also has a similar problem. Pull the plug out of the server and you get to realise that you mined your whole life for nothing . Share markets , currencies are like gambling . When you cannot control the game , better to not get into it . A lot of new investors on the share market always have high hopes of making profits . The ones who know how to rig make the money and the small gullible lose and keep trying to recover their money by investing more .
Just buy gold . Do not trust anything else . They can crumble any day , any time . Make sure you buy physical gold and not bonds . Gold coins and bars are legally sold in banks . In case of any liquidity emergency you can pledge the gold . Gold appreciates as well .
Have to second that as someone who's been in the financial markets space for a long while. This advice is pure gold. Also - INR multi-period rolling returns of gold and stock indices are usually similar on average to gold, with gold often doing better than indices. On a risk-adjusted basis, gold is a clear winner and with physical gold, you can avoid the taxman.
