The 1869 Fisk-Gould Gold scheme was a financial conspiracy orchestrated by Jay Gould and James Fisk to artificially inflate the price of gold on the New York Gold Exchange. They aimed to profit by manipulating the market, creating a false demand for gold, and buying large quantities to drive prices up. Their scheme unraveled when the government intervened by selling gold reserves, leading to a market crash and significant losses for investors. The scandal highlighted the risks of Stock Market manipulation and the need for greater regulation.

Reliance Mutual Funds has just launched a Gold Savings fund. This is an open ended scheme and its different from other schemes because you don't need to have a demat account to invest in the scheme.
