Gold has sparkled for investors, having given them handsome 15% returns in the past one year period to September, while contribution from stocks to their kitty has remained almost negligible during the same period. Also, the government and Reserve Bank have been urging investors recently to deploy their capital in instruments like stocks and mutual funds, rather than keeping them in idle assets like gold.Gold has appreciated from Rs 27,400 level in early September of 2011 to a record of over Rs 32,000 level at present. A comparative analysis of equity market trends shows that the combined investor wealth of all categories of shareholders across nearly 3,000 stocks has hardly budged from around Rs 62 lakh crore-mark in the 12-month period ended September 7.
