Gold has become the topic for discussion in every household and office around the world. Gold prices have jumped from around Rs. 80,000 per 10 grams at the beginning of the year to over Rs. 1,23,000 now (approximately US$ 4,100 per 10 gms).

The surge has created a fear of missing out (FOMO) among investors. Many are buying gold as they don’t want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime rally. But investing in gold should not be purely emotional. History shows us that while gold generally rises over time, understanding when to buy, hold, or sell is key.
