Gold prices continue to crash: No need for Indian investors to worry?
After giving fabulous returns for nearly a decade, gold has done the unthinkable. It has actually declined in the past six months! What has turned this safe avenue into a loss-making investment?The main reason for gold's short-term weakness is the rise of the dollar due to the economic crisis in Europe. The dollar has also moved up on the hopes that the US economy is emerging from its crises, which could nudge the Federal Reserve to withdraw the stimulus package earlier than expected.

Report: 8-year-old boy killed in Boston Marathon blasts identified CNN
Richard’s mother, Denise, and his six-year-old sister were reported to have been seriously injured in the explosion that killed three and wounded 144.
The family was at the race to watch the father, William Richard, run, NBC station WHDH reported. A third child was reportedly uninjured.
Friends of the family gathered at Tavolo Restaurant on Monday night in Dorchester, where William Richard is a community leader. Denise Richard worked at the local Neighborhood House Charter School, The Associated Press reported
“They are beloved by this community. They contribute in many ways. That’s why you see this outpouring,” City Councilor at Large Ayanna Pressley told the Boston Globe. “It’s surreal, it’s tragic, it’s incomprehensible. Everyone here tonight is trying to comfort one another and be prayerful.”

Bostonians and others rush to support stranded visitors
hey're offering their spare rooms, their couches, their food, their cars -- even their own beds.
A huge wave of strangers
is greeting the many visitors stranded by the Boston Marathon bombings
with a massive outpouring of support.
"We figure this is the least we can do," said Heather Carey, who offered a couch at the home near Boston University she shares with roommates. "I saw a website with many others offering their spaces like we did. It is awesome to see so many people helping."
The twin blasts Monday
that left three dead and more than 140 wounded also left countless
people without shelter. Investigators turned the heart of Boston into a
crime scene, evacuating several hotels. This left dozens of visitors,
some of them international runners unfamiliar with the area, stranded.

By Monday evening, pleas were posted on several websites.
"Me and my friends lost
our phone after the explosion," a woman posted on Reddit. "We are
visiting from Korea so our English be not very good. My friend is in the
hospital now and they say we can not stay over night in hospital."
Another woman posted: "I have no where to go."
Quickly, the online cries
for help were answered. Websites were flooded with Bostonians offering
aid. Even though it was unclear how many people were helped, by early
Tuesday morning a Facebook page set up for victims listed more than 100
people offering rooms and rides.
Sandeep Karnik pledged his one-bedroom condo near Fenway Park, saying someone could sleep in his bed.
"I can sleep on the couch," said Karnik, 37. "This is unfathomable, terrible. If there is somebody in need, I can take them in."
Karnik said he ran the
marathon in 2009 for charity despite a knee injury and being slightly
out of shape. He said he would have never finished the race without the
support of strangers cheering him on and giving him water.
"It is my turn to give back," he said.
Steve Trotto offered two
guest rooms in his home about 45 minutes away from downtown. He said he
was proud of the response from people in the New England area.
And it's not only people in the area who were moved to action.
David Semick of Northern California was also offering support early Tuesday morning.
"Clearly I'm way out of
the Boston area," Semick said. "But maybe there is a relative that lives
over here that needs something. I am here to help. I am 3,000 miles
away, and I was so touched by this. So many of us want to help anyway we
can."

BBC
LONDON—The British Broadcasting Corp. appointed James Harding, the former editor of the Times of London newspaper, as director of news and current affairs, replacing Helen Boaden who stepped aside last year in the wake of a probe into the BBC's handling of a report on the late TV host Jimmy Savile.
Mr. Harding resigned from the Times in December, saying it was made clear to him that News Corp NWSA +0.56% ., the paper's parent company, wanted a new editor. News Corp. owns Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal.
New BBC Director-General Tony Hall, who took
up his role April 2, said Mr. Harding's "very impressive track record as
a journalist, editor and manager" will help give BBC News "a renewed
sense of purpose as it moves away from what has been an undeniably
difficult chapter."
"As an organization, the BBC will also benefit from his external perspective and experience which he will share as a member of the BBC's executive team," Mr. Hall said.
Mr. Harding, who was appointed editor of the Times in 2007 at the age of 38, said he was "honored" to join the broadcaster. The BBC newsroom, he said, "strives to be the best in the world, trusted for its accuracy, respected for its fairness and admired for the courage of its reporting."
Mr. Harding, who was also previously Washington bureau chief of the Financial Times, will start in his new role in August and will receive a total package of £340,000 ($520,000), according to the BBC. He couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
The BBC also said Ms. Boaden has taken up a role as director of BBC Radio.
She had to step aside for a period from November last year while an independent panel reviewed the BBC's management of the Savile affair. The probe centered on the BBC's spiking of an investigation by its Newsnight public-affairs program into allegations of child sexual abuse against the now-deceased Jimmy Savile. It concluded that the cancellation of the investigation was "seriously flawed" but not made "for any improper reason" or because of managerial pressure, clearing the BBC of allegations of a coverup,
Ms. Boaden returned to her job late last year and moved to radio in February. She wasn't immediately available for comment Tuesday.

Powerful Earthquake Strikes in Iran
TEHRAN — A powerful earthquake that struck southeastern Iran was felt in
several countries in Asia on Tuesday, rocking buildings in the Indian
capital of New Delhi, sending panicked resident of Karachi, Pakistan,
fleeing into the streets and causing tremors through Persian Gulf
states. Iranian officials said they expected many deaths.
The earthquake measured 7.8 on the Richter scale and its epicenter was
near Khash, Iran, not far from Iran’s border with Pakistan, the United
States Geological Survey said.
An Iranian official told state television that he expected hundreds of deaths because of the severity of the earthquake.
The worst-hit area, along Iran’s southeastern border, is home to nearly 2
million people, who live in three main cities, Zahaedan, the provincial
center, and the epicenter of the earthquake between the cities of
Saravan and Khash, where roughly 400,000 people live, the semiofficial
Tabnak Web site reported.
The semiofficial Fars news agency quoted Iran’s seismology center as saying the earthquake was the worst in 40 years.
The United States Geological Survey reported that the earthquake had a
depth of 9.7 miles. Such deep earthquakes are rare and have greater
destructive capability.
Iran has often been the epicenter of powerful earthquakes, some of which
have taken tens of thousands of lives. In 2003, an 6.6 earthquake near
the city of Bam killed at least 26,000 people, and in 1990 at least
30,000 people died in a quake along the Caspian Sea. Last week, a 6.1
quake hit in Bushehr Province, home to Iran’s main nuclear reactor,
killing more than 30 people.
Unlike the earthquake in Bam, the epicenter of Tuesday’s earthquake was not directly under a densely populated area.
“The quake was felt in Sistan-Baluchistan Province in the cities of
Zabol, Konarak and Khash,” said Mahmoud Mozaffar, the head of the Relief
Office of the Iranian Red Crescent, according to local media.
“The quake was felt in seven villages, including Gasht, Kouh Sefid,
Pashtouk and Tizab. Due to the low population density of these regions,
we hope that the casualties are not too much,” he said.
In the largest city close to the epicenter, Saravan, a state of emergency was declared, other officials said.
Sistan-Baluchistan Province is among the poorest of Iran. Most residents
are Sunni Muslims and many are from the Baluchi tribe which originates
in Iran and Pakistan. The area is known for its drug trade and is
regularly the scene of bombings carried out by separatists groups.
In Karachi, the southern port city in Pakistan, local television
broadcast images of people standing out on the streets after fleeing
high-rise buildings. Tremors were felt most strongly in southern and
central parts of Pakistan.
“It seems as if the buildings will fall any minute,” an unidentified man
in Karachi told GEO News, a private television news network.
The only report of fatalities, however, came from the adjoining province
of Baluchistan, which borders Iran, where the Human Rights Commission
of Pakistan reported five deaths. Tahir Hussain, a lawyer with the human
rights group, said five people had been killed in the remote town of
Panjgur, 50 miles from the border with Iran.
“A wall collapsed and five people lost their lives, including three
children and a woman,” he said, speaking by phone from Quetta, the
capital of Baluchistan.
In New Delhi, which is periodically shaken by temblors, the distant
quake could be felt through the city, as buildings shook for more than
10 seconds and, in some areas, frightened people ran into the streets.
No injuries were reported, nor were there any early reports of property
damage in the Indian capital.

The 2 Things Savvy Interviewers Are Looking For
The 2 Things Savvy Interviewers Are Looking For
By Arnie Fertig
Any employer will want to understand how you meet his or her needs before taking yours into consideration. When you keep this in mind, you will understand that the fastest way to find a job is to find the employer who thinks you represent the answer to his or her problem. To paraphrase President Kennedy's famous inaugural dictum: Ask not what an employer can do for you … ask what you can do for an employer.When you winnow down all the possible jobs that you might apply for into the jobs for which you're most suited for to attain success, you will have the time and energy necessary to make each application, interaction and interview count. Rather than taking an unfocused shotgun approach, you will be able to psych out what employers are looking for … and give it to them with a customized cover letter, resume and phone-screening interview all leading up to the main event: the in-person job interview.
There is no end to articles and books written to tell interviewers how to do their jobs, and job seekers how to gain success. But in well-conducted job interviews, every question has some function relating to finding the person who can meet these two key employer objectives:
1. People who have the right behavior patterns for the job. Different jobs require different kinds of behavior patterns. Some require assertiveness, others require people to passively do whatever they're told. Some jobs are best filled by people with effervescent personalities, while others are better suited to the kind of person who prefers to interact with his or her computer over people, and so on.
As you prepare for your interview, think about what kind of qualities and personality the employer might deem best, and assume that you will encounter some questions that will probe to see if you fit. Come to your interview prepared with stories that demonstrate how you have exhibited these kinds of actions in your current or past roles. You will likely find an opportunity to tell your stories in response to questions that begin with something like: "Tell me about a time when you… [fill in the blank]."
2. People who possess the core competencies required for success. If you take the time to closely read a job description, you can discern the competencies that are associated with a position's requirements. For example, one random job posted recently calls for someone to be a "liaison for…", "gain approval for…", "track success…", "contribute to…", "execute marketing activities…" and "ensure budgets and schedules meet corporate requirements."
Ask yourself what is required to attain success for each of these bullet points. To be a liaison and gain approval for things, one must have solid oral and written communication skills. To track success, you must be detail oriented, and likely have the ability to negotiate spreadsheets. To contribute, someone most likely requires a collegial, team-based approach to work. To keep budgets on track likely requires someone with a head for numbers.
Each job, of course, will have its own stated requirements, and behind each one will lay one or more particular skills. As you prepare for your job interview, figure out how your past performance demonstrates that you possess the skills necessary to fulfill the job's requirements. Be prepared with plenty of examples and stories that can convince any interviewer that you have "the right stuff."
You might think of an interview as something of an interrogation where you hope to get the "right" answers. To be sure, there is likely to be a good deal of this kind of Q-and-A. But skilled interviewers and job hunters will be able to use this as a jumping off point for a larger discussion that can serve to build a relationship.
In the course of this discussion, your interviewer will not only be listening to what you say, he or she will also evaluate how you say it to gauge your communications skills and style. He or she will look to see your level of alertness, how you physically present yourself, and your level of self-confidence. Much will be intuited by interpreting your body language.
If you have done your interview preparation well, you will be able to sit proudly in your chair, look your interviewer in the eyes, and tell your unique stories in an engaging fashion. And when you do, you're most likely to make that final pivot from what you can do for the employer to how the employer can lure you to take the job before you accept any other offer.
Happy hunting!

विदेश की गिरावट से और सस्ता हो सकता है सोना
घरेलू बाजार में सोने के दाम 5% गिरकर एक साल के निचले स्तर पर
विश्व बाजार में निवेशकों को फोकस सोने से हटने की वजह से आई भारी
गिरावट के कारण बीते सप्ताह घरेलू बाजार में भी सोने के दाम भरभराकर गिर
गए। शनिवार को सोने के दाम 1250 रुपये घटकर 28350 रुपये प्रति दस ग्राम रह
गए। बीते सप्ताह घरेलू बाजार में सोने के दाम पांच फीसदी से ज्यादा लुढ़क
गए। विदेशी बाजार में भी सोने के दाम 84 डॉलर गिरकर 1477 डॉलर प्रति औंस रह
गए।
घरेलू बाजार में सोने के दाम गिरकर एक साल के निचले स्तर पर पहुंच गए।
इससे पहले पिछले साल 7 अप्रैल को सोने के दाम इस स्तर पर पहुंचे थे।
ऑल इंडिया सराफा बाजार के उपाध्यक्ष सुरिंदर जैन ने कहा कि सोने में
किसी एक दिन में 1250 रुपये प्रति दस ग्राम की गिरावट इससे पहले नहीं दिखाई
दी। सोना अपना आधार खो चुका है। इसके मूल्य में अभी और गिरावट आ सकती है।
दरअसल वायदा कारोबार में सोने के मूल्य में भारी बिकवाली आ रही है, इसके
कारण सोने के दाम गिर रहे हैं।
विदेशी बाजार में निवेशक सोने में निवेश करने से बच रहे हैं। उनका फोकस
कमोडिटी को छोड़कर दूसरे एसेट क्लास में बढ़ रहा है। एमसीएक्स में भी सोने
के दाम गिरकर 28000 रुपये प्रति दस ग्राम से नीचे रह गए। चांदी में शनिवार
को 2500 रुपये की गिरावट रही और इसके भाव घटकर 50100 रुपये प्रति किलो रह
गए।
और कितना टूटेंगे सोना-चांदी
सोने में गिरावट से मुथूट फाइनेंस 13% लुढ़का
सोने में आई भारी गिरावट का असर गोल्ड फाइनेंस कंपनियों और ज्वैलरी कंपनियों के शेयरों पर नजर आ रहा है। मुथूट फाइनेंस 13 फीसदी, मन्नापुरम फाइनेंस 10 फीसदी, टाइटन इंडस्ट्रीज 4.5 फीसदी, गीतांजलि जेम्स 2.5 फीसदी, पीसी ज्वैलर 5.5 फीसदी टूटे।अंतर्राष्ट्रीय बाजार में सोने में बिकवाली का असर घरेलू बाजार पर भी नजर आ रहा है। एमसीएक्स पर सोना 27000 रुपये के नीचे फिसल गया है, जो 1.5 साल का निचला स्तर है। सोने के साथ-साथ चांदी भी लुढ़की है। एमसीएक्स पर चांदी 44000 रुपये के नीचे आ गई है।मुथूट फाइनेंस का कहना है कि कंपनी के कारोबार पर ज्यादा असर दिखने की आशंका नहीं है। पहले भी सोने की कीमतों में भारी उतार-चढ़ाव देखने को मिला था।मुथूट फाइनेंस के कर्ज की अवधि 3 महीने है। कंपनी के मुताबिक डिफॉल्ट रेट में बढ़ोतरी नहीं हुई है।श्री गणेश ज्वैलरी के शेयर भी 5.5 फीसदी टूटे। कंपनी के चेयरमैन, नीलेश पारिख का कहना है कि सोने की कीमतों में पिछले 2 महीनों से गिरावट नजर आ रही है। आज की गिरावट अंतर्राष्ट्रीय बाजारों के असर से आई है।नीलेश पारिख के मुताबिक सोना सस्ता होने से गहनों की बिक्री में बढ़ोतरी होने की उम्मीद है। आगे चलकर कारोबार सुधरने का अनुमान है। श्री गणेश ज्वैलरी को मुनाफे के मार्जिन कायम रखने की उम्मीद है।

सोन्यातील गुंतवणूक ही सर्वोत्कृष्ट गुंतवणूक असून सोन्याचे भाव नेहमी फक्त वाढतच असतात, ही समजूत आता सपशेल चुकीची ठरली आहे. जागतिक बाजारांतील कल पाहता आपण आता सोन्याच्या भावांच्या घसरणीच्या किंवा भाव कुंठित होण्याच्या कालखंडात प्रवेश केला आहे. तेव्हा सावध आताच व्हा! येत्या दशकामध्ये सोन्यातील गुंतवणूक ही तोट्यात घालणारी गुंतवणूक ठरू शकते.
गेल्या दशकभरात भारतात सोन्याच्या भावात तब्बल सहा पटींनी वाढ झालेली असल्यामुळे सट्टेबाजीसाठी सोने आयात करून देशात विकण्याचे पेव फुटले होते. सोन्याची आयात सतत वाढत जाऊन आर्थिक वर्ष २०१२-१३च्या प्रारंभापासूनच्या दहा महिन्यांत देशात एकूण ४२ अब्ज डॉलरची आयात झाली. परिणामी, निर्यातीपेक्षा आयात खर्च प्रचंड वाढून देशाच्या परकीय व्यापाराची चालू खात्यावरील तूट (करन्ट अकाउन्ट डेफिसिट) धोक्याच्या पातळीपर्यंत पोहचली होती. या परिस्थितीमुळे अर्थमंत्री बेचैन झाले. गृहिणींना मात्र असे वाटते की सोने खरेदी करून ठेवून आपण जीवनातील फार मोठी कामगिरी केली आहे.
पण, माफ करा, सुवर्णखरेदीतून ‘कामगिरी’ करण्याचे दिवस आता संपले. पार्टी इज ओव्हर! सोन्यातील गुंतवणूक ही सर्वोत्कृष्ट गुंतवणूक असून सोन्याचे भाव नेहमी फक्त वाढतच असतात, ही समजूत आता सपशेल चुकीची ठरली आहे. इतिहास हेच सांगतो की, सोन्याचे भाव खूप मोठ्या प्रमाणावर खाली-वर होत असतात. म्हणूनच अनेकांना सोन्याची खरेदी ही काही काळासाठी जरी मोठा खूप नफा मिळवून देणारी गुंतवणूक वाटत असली, तरी ती मोठे नुकसान करणारीही ठरते. सोन्यातील गुंतवणूक सुरक्षित असतेच, असे नाही.
भारतात २०११च्या शेवटी सोन्याचा दहा ग्रॅमचा भाव ३३,००० रुपयांच्या उच्चांकापर्यंत पोहचला होता. त्यानंतर तो क्रमशः उतरून आता २९,००० रुपयांवर आला आहे. जागतिक बाजारांतील कल हेच सुचवितात की, आपण आता सोन्याच्या भावांच्या घसरणीच्या किंवा भाव कुंठित होण्याच्या (स्टॅग्नंट) कालखंडात प्रवेश केला आहे. तेव्हा गृहिणींनो आणि सोने खरेदी करणाऱ्या इतर सर्वानो, सावध व्हा आताच! येत्या दशकामध्ये सोन्यातील गुंतवणूक ही तोट्यात घालणारी निराशाजनक गुंतवणूक ठरू शकते.
अमेरिकेने १९७१ मध्ये ‘गोल्ड स्टॅण्डर्ड’चा त्याग केल्यानंतर सोन्याचा भाव वाढत गेला आणि तो प्रति औंस ३५ डॉलरवरून १९८० मध्ये ८३५ डॉलरवर पोहचला. त्यावेळी सोन्यातील गुंतवणूक ही सर्वोत्तम वाटत होती. पण नंतर सोन्याचा भाव घसरत गेला आणि २००१ सालापर्यंत तो प्रति औंस २५० डॉलरवर होता. सोन्यात गुंतवणूक करणाऱ्यांना नुकसानीचा मोठा फटका बसून दोन दशकभर त्यांची झोपच उडाली.
पण, २००३ नंतर सोन्याच्या भावात पुन्हा तेजी आली. सन २०११ च्या अखेरीस सोन्याचा भाव प्रति औंस १,८९० डॉलरच्या उच्चांकापर्यंत पोहचला. नंतर तो घसरून आता १,५६० डॉलरवर आला आहे.
जागतिक पातळीवर सोन्याच्या भावात झालेली घसरण भारतात मात्र कमी प्रमाणात, कमी नाट्यमय ठरली, कारण रुपयाचे मूल्य अमेरिकन डॉलरच्या तुलनेत घटले आहे. तरीही सोन्याचा भारतीय रुपयातील भाव उच्चांकापासून दहा टक्क्यांनी खाली आला आहे. गोल्डमन सॅक्स या अमेरिकन बहुराष्ट्रीय इन्व्हेस्टमेन्ट बँकिंग फर्मच्या अंदाजाप्रमाणे, जागतिक सुवर्णपेठेत सोन्याचा भाव २०१४ च्या अखेरपर्यंत मोठ्या प्रमाणावर घसरून प्रति औंस १,२७० डॉलरवर येईल. इतर बाजार विश्लेषक तर सोन्याच्या भावाबाबत असेच, बव्हंशी निराशावादीच आहेत.
अशांततेच्या, अस्थैर्याच्या काळात सोने हे सुरक्षित गुंतवणुकीचे साधन असते, त्यामुळे लोक सोन्याच्या खरेदीकडे वळतात. सध्याच्या अस्थिर परिस्थितीत सोन्याचा भाव आणखी वधारेल, या आशेने सट्टेबाज सोन्याकडे वळले. उत्तर कोरिया अणुयुद्धाची धमकी देत आहे आणि जपान आपला चलनपुरवठा वाढवून दुप्पट करण्याच्या विचारात आहे. सायप्रसने आपल्या आघाडीच्या बँकांमधील विमासंरक्षणरहित मोठ्या ठेवी जप्त करून धोकादायक पायंडा पाडला आहे. यामुळेच सोनेखरेदीसाठी लोकांची झुंबड उडणे शक्य आहे. असे असताना सोन्याचा भाव वाढण्याऐवजी घसरला का?
पहिले कारण, ‘युरोझोन’चे तुकडे पडण्याच्या ज्या भीतीने २०११ मध्ये सोन्याच्या भावाने उच्चांक गाठला, ती भीती आता जवळजवळ गेलीच आहे. त्यामुळे गुंतवणुकीचे सुरक्षित आश्रयस्थान म्हणून सोन्याची गरज कमी झाली आहे. दुसरे कारण, अमेरिकेने चलनपुरवठा क्रमशः शिथील करण्याचे आपले धोरण पाच वर्षांच्या खंडानंतर आता संपुष्टात आणण्याचे ठरविले आहे. यामुळे सट्टेबाजांना आपल्या ‘स्पेक्युलेशन’साठी पैशाचे इंधन पूर्वीसारखे मुबलक प्रमाणात वापरता येणार नाही.
तिसरे कारण आहे, मदतयोजनेचा (बेल आउट पॅकेज) एक भाग म्हणून ४०० दशलक्ष ‘युरो’ उभारण्यासाठी सायप्रसला आपले ‘गोल्ड रिझर्व्ह्ज’ विकावे लागण्याची शक्यता आहे. यामुळे जागतिक सुवर्णपेठेत सोन्याचा मोठा पुरवठा दाखल होईल. शिवाय दिवाळखोरीच्या उंबरठ्यावर असलेल्या इतर संकटग्रस्त ‘युरोझोन’ देशांनाही सायप्रसप्रमाणेच सोने विकणे भाग पडू शकते. संकटग्रस्त इटलीकडे जगातील चौथ्या क्रमांकाचा सर्वात मोठा सुवर्णसाठा, म्हणजे २,४५२ टन सोने आहे. त्याची किंमत होते तब्बल ९५ अब्ज डॉलर.
सट्टेबाज अर्थात ‘स्पेक्युलेटर्स’नी २०१० आणि २०११ वर्षांमध्ये सोन्याशी निगडित गुंतवणूकसाधनांमध्ये (सिक्युरिटीज) २६ अब्ज डॉलर इतकी रक्कम ओतली आहे. परंतु ‘युरोझोन’ तगून राहण्याबाबतची भीती २०१२च्या मध्यास जेव्हा संपुष्टात आली तेव्हा अनेक ‘स्पेक्युलेटर्स’नी (ज्यामध्ये सर्वात प्रसिद्ध अशा जॉर्ज सोरोस यांचाही समावेश आहे) ‘गोल्ड बूम’ संपल्याचा निष्कर्ष काढून सोन्यातील आपली गुंतवणूक विकून बाजारातून काढता पाय घेतला. पैसा ‘गोल्ड लिंक्ड् सिक्युरिटीज’मधून बाहेर पळाला. सोन्याशी निगडित गुंतवणुकीच्या व्यवसायातील सर्वात मोठा ‘एक्स्चेंज ट्रेंडेड फंड’ म्हणून ओळखल्या जाणाऱ्या ‘एसपीडीआर गोल्ड’ (स्टॅण्डर्ड अॅण्ड पूर्स डिपॉजिटरी रिसिट्स) कंपनीच्या गुंतवणूकदारांनी २०१३मध्ये आतापर्यंत आपल्या शेअर्सचा एकूण ७.७ अब्ज डॉलर्सचा परतावा घेतला आहे.
भारतीय सट्टेबाज आणि गृहिणींनो, समोर ठळक दिसणारे भविष्य कृपया वाचा! गेल्या दशकात ज्या खास कारणांमुळे ‘गोल्ड बूम’ उसळली होती, ती कारणे आता उरलेली नाहीत. तेव्हा, आता वेळ सोने विकण्याची आहे, खरेदी करण्याची नव्हे!
सोन्याच्या आयातीपासून लोकांना परावृत्त करण्यासाठी अर्थ मंत्रालयाने सोन्यावरील इम्पोर्ट ड्युटी वाढवली आहे. पण दुर्दैवाने यामुळे सोन्याचे देशांतर्गत भाव वाढले आहेत. परिणामी, ‘स्पेक्युलेटर्स’ना शिक्षेऐवजी बक्षीस मिळाले. या परिस्थितीत सोन्याच्या तस्करीत वाढ झाली.
अर्थ मंत्रालय सोने आयातीपासून लोकांना परावृत्त करण्यासाठी प्रयत्न करीत आहे. पण यामुळे सोन्यातील गुंतवणूक मौल्यवान, मोठी नफादायीच असल्याचा गैरसमज लोकांमध्ये निष्कारणच पसरते आहे. दुसरीकडे सरकारी क्षेत्रातील बँका आपल्या ग्राहकांना ‘मस्ट हॅव इन्व्हेस्टमेन्ट’ म्हणून ‘गोल्ड कॉइन्स’ची आक्रमक विक्री करीत आहेत. या बँकांनी आपल्या ग्राहकांना सोने खरेदीतील जोखमींबाबत सावधगिरीचा इशारा देणे बंधनकारक करणे आवश्यक आहे.
अर्थमंत्र्यांनी आपल्या भाषणांतून सातत्याने लोकांना सावध करणे आवश्यक आहे की, सोन्याचे भाव आधीच घसरलेले आहेत आणि पुढेही आणखी बरेच खाली येण्याची शक्यता आहे. ज्या ज्या वेळी सोन्याचे भाव पडतील त्या त्या वेळी अर्थमंत्र्यांनी जाहिराती प्रसिद्ध करून हे सांगावे- ‘मी तुम्हाला हे आधीच सांगितले होते’.
शेवटी, पण तितकेच महत्त्वाचे. अर्थमंत्र्यांनी असे जाहीर करावे की, सोन्यावरील इम्पॉर्ट ड्यूटी र्षअखेरीस रद्द करण्यात येईल. असे केल्यास लोक सध्या सोने आयात करणे थांबवितील. पुढील वर्षापर्यंत थांबतील. तोपर्यंत सट्टेबाजीला ओहोटी लागून ती बरीच घटलेली असेल. यातून परकीय व्यापारातील संतुलन एखादा चमत्कार झाल्याप्रमाणे सुधारेल.
Why is Ravindra Jadeja often referred to as Sir Jadeja?
Why is Ravindra Jadeja often referred to as Sir Jadeja?
रजनीकांतनंतर आता सर श्री रवींद्र जडेजा!Ravinder Jadeja scored three triple hundreds in first class cricket, and hence was given the title of 'Sir' by trollers.
There was a time when MS Dhoni was tweeting and trolling Sir Jadeja (in good spirit) very often until Sir Jadeja 'revoked' permission to troll him.
रवींद्र जडेजा चेन्नई
सुपरकिंग्जचा प्लेअर. पण त्याला सर रवींद्र जडेजा म्हणतात. कारण ते कॅच
पकडण्यासाठी कधीही धावत नाहीत. उलट हवेत उडालेला बॉलच त्यांना शोधत येतो
आणि त्यांच्याच हातात स्थिरावतो. जेव्हा सर रवींद्र सरावासाठी मैदानावर
जाण्याचा विचार करतात , तेव्हा खुद्द मैदानच त्यांच्या दिशेने येऊ लागतं. ही वाक्य ऐकायला जरा ' अति ' वाटत असली तरी सध्या सोशल साइट्सवर रवींद्र जडेजाचा असा बोलबाला आहे. रजनीकांतनंतर तरुणाईमध्ये चर्चा आहे ती याच रवींद्रची.
सोशल साइट्सवरची मंडळी रवींद्रवर जाम फिदा आहेत. त्याच्यावर अशा
अतिशयोक्ती कमेंट्सचा पाऊस पडतोय. अर्थात यात काही क्रिकेटपटूही सहभागी
आहेत. मुख्यतः आपला भारतीय कप्तान महेंद्रसिंह ढोणी. रवींद्रबद्दल खुद्द
माहीनेच काही ' रजनीकांत ' स्टाइलचे ट्विट केलेत. काही दिवसांपूर्वी विकीपिडियावर कोणी एकाने रवींद्रचे खोटे पेज सुरु केलं. त्यावर तो परोपकारी , लोकपुरस्कृत हीरो आणि नोबेल पुस्कारास योग्य असा असल्याचं म्हटलं होतं. ही बातमी कळल्यानंतर ' चेन्नई सुपरकिंग्ज ' मधल्या त्याच्या माही ढोणी , सुरेश रैना आणि अश्विन यांनी रवींद्रच्या नावापुढे लॉर्ड , श्री श्री पंडीत , सर अशा उपाधी लावायला सुरुवात केली. त्यामुळे हा खेळाडू पुन्हा चर्चेत आला.
जडेजाच का ?... २००९ मध्ये झालेल्या ' टी २० ' वर्ल्डकपमध्ये जडेजाच्या स्लो खेळामुळे भारताने दोन मोक्याचे सामने गमावले. आपण ' सुपर ८ '
मध्येच बाहेर पडलो. त्यानंतरही प्रथम श्रेणी क्रिकेटमध्ये दोनवेळा त्रिशतक
केल्याने जडेजाला निवड समितीने भारतीय कसोटी संघात जागा दिली. पण ,
त्याच्या बॉलिंगवर प्रतिस्पर्धी संघाने धुरळा उडवला. तर बॅटिंगमध्येही तो
फसला होता. त्यामुळे त्याच्या जागी इतरांना संधी देण्यात यावी अशी मागणी
चाहते करत होते. पण ,
ढोणीच्या सॉफ्ट कॉर्नरमुळे तो संघात असल्याची चर्चा रंगत होती. अखेर
फेब्रुवारीत झालेल्या ऑस्ट्रेलियाविरुध्दच्या कसोटीमध्ये जडेजा १६ धावांवर
बाद झाला. त्यानंतर एका साइटने जडेजाचे त्रिशतक २८४ धावांनी हुकल्याची
तिरकस टीका केली. त्यानंतर अशा कमेंट्सचा मारा सुरू झाला.
ढोणीचे ट्विट्स
रजनी सर म्हातारे होत असल्याची देवाला जाणीव झाल्याने त्याने सर जडेजांना या पृथ्वीतलावर पाठवले.
लहानपणी खेळताना सर जडेजा यांना एक मातीचा डोंगर बनवायचा होता. आता आपण त्याला माऊण्ट एव्हरेस्ट नावाने ओळखतो.
जेव्हा तुम्ही सर रवींद्र जडेजांना १ चेंडूत दोन धावा करण्यासाठी सांगता , तेव्हा ते १ बॉल बाकी ठेवून मॅच जिंकून देतात.
आपण भ़ारतीय लोक कॉपी करायच कधी बंद करणार? ज्या गोष्टी रजनीकान्तच्या नावाने लिहिल्या जातात त्या सुरूवातीला नेटवर चक नॉरिस फॅक्ट या नावाने प्रसिध्ध झाल्या होत्या. आता रजनीकांत गेला आणि जडेजा आला. शेवटी कॉपी ती कॉपिच.
Ravindra Jadeja
Calling it a 'joke', 'Sir' Ravindra Jadeja says he has no problem with the prefix before his name as long as his Chennai Super Kings and India teammates are enjoying the all-rounder's 'knighthood'.
"I think it is a joke and we are enjoying. Nothing serious in that matter. I don't think I am a great man. I just want to be what I am right now. I am not seriously thinking about the title 'Sir' and all that. It's okay as everybody is enjoying in the team and it's fine," he said. The 24-year-old led Chennai Super Kings to a thrilling last-ball win over Royal Challengers Bagalore in the Twenty20 League on Saturday.
"In the last over we needed 16, so we were thinking that whatever will be in our reach we will go for them. (MS) Dhoni had got out in the penultimate over so we thought what would happen. But (Dwayne) Bravo, (Chris) Morris and I backed ourselves and won the game off the last ball."
Chennai have been pulling off such close matches quite frequently, and Jadeja attributed it to the presence of quality all-rounders in the side.
"The thing is that we have got good allrounders. Bravo, (Albie) Morkel, Morris and I. There are four all-rounders so our batting is good and till number nine everybody can bat."
"We also have two genuine fast bowlers. Therefore we get advantage in the first six-seven overs as they don't give away much. In the middle overs, at times, our batting gets a bit slow but we are working on it. We will concentrate on singles and doubles."
Bucking the trend of letting R Aswhin have a go at Chris Gayle, Chennai on Sunday handed over the ball to Dirk Nannes and Morris when the West Indian was at the crease.
"It was a good wicket to bat on. Earlier days the wicket used to turn a bit more but this year none of the spinners have been able to turn or beat the bat. It is dependent on the wicket. In T20 you usually get these kind of flat wickets."
"Gayle is such a batsman that he can hit any bowler in any ground for a six. Therefore, we were thinking that for him we will have a different strategy to not give him runs and take his wicket."
