Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gold, silver or stocks is the question after the Sensex and Nifty crash, and experts mostly answer with allocation and staggering rather than a single winner. Gold is near Rs 1,49,040 per 10 grams, off its recent peak near Rs 1.63 lakh, silver is about Rs 2.26 lakh a kg, and the Sensex at 72,312 is down about 11.5% in a year after an eight-week losing streak. Experts suggest keeping about 10% to 15% in gold, continuing SIPs, favouring large caps over small caps and deploying fresh money in two or three tranches, with silver treated as a tactical, not a core, holding. The gold-silver ratio has fallen to about 66 from about 85 a year ago, so silver no longer looks as undervalued against gold as it did.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Gold, silver or stocks: that is the dilemma for investors holding fresh money after the sharp fall in Indian equities. The Sensex closed at 72,312.23 on 5 October after a rebound, still down about 11.5% from a year ago, while gold and silver have had strong rallies and are now trading well below their peaks.<\/p>\n
