The Psychology of Money
I have started reading about investments and finances from last one year, so for a beginner like me who is new to this field had a great experience reading this book.

SGB: A Big Headache for Govt of India!
1. Introduction of Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGB) - 2015
- Launched by India's finance ministry to reduce $30 billion annual gold imports.
- Offered 2.75% coupon, later reduced to 2.5%.
2. Gold Prices Surge, Making SGB Costly
- Initial price in Nov 2015: ₹2,500 per gram (~$38).
- Current price: ₹8,624 per gram (~3.5x increase).
- International gold price rose from $1,500/oz (2019) to $3,000/oz (2025).
3. *Government’s Growing Liability*
- Issued bonds worth 147 tons across 67 tranches.
- As of last month, liability stands at 132 tons (~$13 billion / ₹1.2 trillion).
- The last bond matures in Feb 2032.
4. Failed Strategy & Policy Reversals
- Gold imports still averaged $37 billion/year in the last decade.
- Customs duty raised to 15% (2022) to curb demand but backfired.
- Later slashed to 6% (2023) after import costs surged.
5. Impact on RBI’s Gold Reserves
- RBI's gold holdings: 879 tons.
- Gold’s share in forex reserves: 11.5% (highest on record).
6. Government Discontinues SGB in 2024
- Despite collecting ₹270 billion in FY 2023-24, the program was halted.
7. Conclusion
- SGBs turned into an unhedged bet against India's cultural gold obsession.
- Investors gained 3x returns.
- The government underestimated Indians’ deep-rooted love for gold.
For Folks seeing higher debt in Hospitals, QSR Companies, Retailers like Titan etc.
Its purely due to IND AS 116, where lease liabilities are considered a part of debt now. Leases were earlier part of Other expenses in Income statement.

"Pant has done well at No. 4, so it is important to back him," says @VVSLaxman281. He's a good player out of form who's failed in ten of his last 11 innings; Samson averages 66 in ODIs, has made runs in all his last five matches & is on the bench. Go figure. @IamSanjuSamson
Dispassionately studying why an investment didn’t work out can be a great source of learning and can help prevent repeat mistakes.

Everyone should read One Up On Wall Street at least once.
Peter Lynch not only achieved a legendary 29% CAGR over 13 years.
His ability to turn complex investing concepts into stories is remarkable.
I reread the book recently & I'm still blown away.

Lots of headlines, analysis, drama.
Did the fundamentals of companies change in 2 days? No.
Lesson: Watch markets less
