Recently news went viral. A poor farmer in Telangana was bitten by a rat with all the money he had saved for his operation. He looked at all the torn 500 rupee notes and could not do anything. Think of his situation in this corona period as well.
In fact, not only him but most of us are in this situation. During the Corona period, most people suffered the loss of income and job loss. The reason is that in the current context, the volatility of money, whether in the bank or any other investment, is increasing day by day. , This has increased the interest of many to invest their money in projects that can bring in good returns.
But it is the investment that is confusing right now. The reason is that the global investment market is under great pressure. Even what were considered safe investments have lost that status. A safe investment is when we need to get our money back when we need it. But there is almost no guarantee of a safe investment.
Those who implement investment plans, in general, to attract investors claim that there has been so much growth over the years. In fact, it is a superficial ad text. Something that doesn’t apply to everyone. Fewer than one percent of investors enjoy its benefits. Others will benefit to a lesser extent or even lose what they have. This is when the economy and financial markets are doing well. When the economy and financial markets are in crisis, the question of the security of investment projects has become increasingly acute among investors.
Whenever private market investment plans fail, investors turn to gold, bonds, and bank deposits. People will turn to private investment schemes when these are in limbo. But at present, everything is under some pressure, instability. As a result, investments are greatly reduced, and money does not flow into circulation. Millions of people will suffer from poverty and economic inequality if money does not enter the market as a loan or investment. So simply having money is also dangerous. Us and the country must make investments in line with his needs and goals and risk aversion. It pays to know about investments.
Gold:
Gold is not often seen as an investment in India. People buy gold because of their passion for gold jewelry and its specific mortgage value. Many people are currently unable to buy gold at the selling price of gold. Very few see it as an investment otherwise. They have now switched to gold bonds and gold ETF schemes as an alternative to buying gold jewelry, gold nuggets, and coins.
Investors invest a certain amount in gold based on asset allocation. Gold rose 25 percent in 2020 as stock markets plummeted. But buying gold bonds can be somewhat more rewarding than buying gold as jewelry and currency. The reason is that there is a significant loss when buying and selling gold. There is no such loss in gold bonds. Gold bonds also carry an interest rate of 2.5 percent per annum.
The stock market:
Everyone knows that the stock market is at high risk. If left unmanaged, they can be left astray and lose the right path. That is why the mutual fund sector was formed to monitor investments and reduce losses. But stock market returns are mostly for those who trade daily in high volumes. The stock market and the mutual fund will only benefit the small investors in the long run. That return will depend on the size of our investment and the length of time we have invested. But this does not happen 99 percent of the time.
Although the growth of the stock market has increased, it has not yielded significant returns for the majority of investors. It's both the entry and the exit that we take in stock investments. Most investors are under the impression that small savings in SIPs have not yielded large returns for many years. And the extreme volatility of the stock market makes investors lose confidence just as much as it attracts them. After the corona, the stock market appears to be very positive and has seen several sharp declines despite reaching new highs. The main thing is to create a kind of unstable environment and reluctance constantly.
Government Debentures:
Debt securities are considered safe in investments. The reason for this is that guaranteed interest is paid. The Reserve Bank has currently fixed the interest rate on government bonds at 7.15 percent. But these bonds have compulsory maturity. So often, it is only suitable for well-to-do people. This means it's about to be the most delusional time of the year, as well. At present, the Reserve Bank has made it possible for anyone to buy government bonds directly. Introduced Retail Direct Guild Account.
At the same time, debt securities can sometimes be in crisis. The reason is that the problem arises when the increase in governments' debt burden disrupts the basic financial position. Public debt in the world is currently estimated at 97 percent of the total world GDP. Even during the global economic crisis of 2008-09, there was no such amount of debt. It is said that countries with low per capita incomes, in particular, will face the effects of high debt pressure. India's debt is also rising significantly. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has said that India's debt is at an all-time high of $ 570 billion this year. This means that India's debt-to-GDP ratio is at a 14-year high.
This is to reduce the security guarantee on bonds. Debentures issued by the United States and Germany, the world's most stable governments, are the safest. Credit is good if it is invested in lucrative development projects. However, debt can become a major burden if the debt outweighs the debt. Debt settlement can make the difference between life and death. Exceeding that level can cause major problems. Many countries are said to have passed this stage by 2019.
Bank Savings Plans:
People will opt for bank savings plans when other investment plans lose confidence. But even these are not currently effective. The reason is that the interest rate on bank savings schemes as a whole has been reduced as the Reserve Bank has been lowering the repo rate to stimulate the market. This has led to problems with bank savings schemes, which are considered the choice of those who think that money is safe enough that no investment or risk is required. In addition, there are problems such as the weekly debt burden of the banks, which in turn leads to the bankruptcy of the banks.
Banks are currently experiencing a huge weekly debt burden due to encouraging wholesale trade rather than promoting retail. Currently, most of the banks are under a weekly credit burden. The government is taking a series of measures such as bank mergers and bank restructuring. But the challenges continue to grow. It may be recalled that the Great Depression in 2008 caused a major financial crisis in the United States that shook the world economy. Due to this, the government has now provided an insurance guarantee of Rs 5 lakh on deposits.
Cryptocurrency:
It is a word that has become very popular among people recently. Even 100 rupees can be invested, and everyone is ready to dye it. But the federal government has said it has no data on cryptocurrency trading. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has said it would introduce a dedicated digital currency. Within that, people are accumulating investments in cryptocurrency. The volatility of cryptocurrency is more volatile than the stock market. Yet, the cryptocurrency craze among the population has increased.
The reason is that people have lost faith in all investments. They are willing to invest in any project that can bring immediate high returns without worrying about its sustainability and without looking at the risks. As a result, investments in cryptocurrencies continue to grow at an astounding rate. You have to be careful until cryptocurrency emerges as a formal investment. Beyond that, the whole risk is his.
It is often necessary to look at whether the benefit is worth the risk. It is profitable in terms of volume in terms of investments. Otherwise, the return on investment of small investors is of no great benefit when calculated beyond inflation. This leads to reluctance to invest.
Suppose you see that the investment community is reluctant to invest money. The business community is also reluctant to invest and focus on expansion. The impact of the Corona curfew on economic activity has put businesses in a cautious mood. Are saving profits. New employment has become difficult due to low private investment. Paying employees has not changed. All this is seen as the cause of the recession in the country's financial market.
