Tuirkevj Buzzard the famous background

^)dwryj theme of Mackennas Gold still lingers in ones

m i //( .^fr^^mind as we think of Gold, Gold, Gold. The most

precious metal still, though there have been

other metals which have gone beijond the yellow one in

price.

Economists generally attribute the price variations in

Gold that occur from time to time to the theory of supply

>
Zd demand. But they generally are unable to understand
" /X

as to when the demand and supply situations will change.

m As such they are also unable to forecast when the demand

situation will go up or when the supply situation will go

up. Commonsense will tell us that the demand for Gold

will always go up around time of Diwali , around the time

of other festivals and also during those months when large

numbers of marriages get celebrated. However in actual

practice we find that the price of Gold is not necessarily

related to these factors as sometimes the price

fluctuations seem to be at variance witk these factors.
