Shahazad .N. Shaikh asked: Buying financial products is classed as ’saving’, as opposed to investment. The distinction is (in theory) clear: if money is converted into goods or services, it is investment; but, if you buy a bond or a share of stock, this transfer payment is excluded from the GDP sum. That is because the stocks and bonds affect the financial capital which in turn affects the production and sales which in turn affects the investments. So stocks and bonds indirectly affect the GDP.
Then why do people consider SENSEX as a barometer of gauging the performance of the Indian Economy ?

is life really hell in Hell? asked:
I have over $40,000 in stocks and bonds. I’ve noticed that in some recent reports that I’ve received that they are losing value. I am thinking of converting them into gold. Is this a good idea or not, and why?
By the way, I am 56 and the funds I am mentioning here represent the bulk of my retirement funds..
