Re: The GOLD scream room
Wouldnt gold work better as money if there were no mining? Its supposed to be a stable benchmark against which to price everything else

https://www.wsj.com/articles/as-gold-pr ... 1569144601Many companies, including the world’s largest gold miner, Newmont Goldcorp Corp., say they will only approve new projects if they can make money with gold at $1,200, about 20% below where the metal currently trades.

Re: The GOLD scream room
Maybe, but mining output adds only a few percent of total stocks every year, and that is very hard to increase.boglerdude wrote: ↑Mon Sep 23, 2019 2:17 am Wouldnt gold work better as money if there were no mining? Its supposed to be a stable benchmark against which to price everything else
Fiat money, on the other hand, can be increased in amount with almost no effort, which makes it very poor money.

Interactive Brokers (the IBKR-Lite tier)
Now you can buy whichever gold ETF you want, without concerns about fees. Probably lots of people will start buying AAAU now.

Re: The GOLD scream room
Anyone read/hear anything that's slamming gold and bonds today? Everyone will be putting 100% of their money in the stock market forever or something like that? No risk 25% a year investing?

WSJ paywalled - https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-wave-o ... 1573140838In Europe, negative yields on some long-term government bonds—which had alarmed investors when they proliferated earlier in the year—faded amid evidence that easier monetary policy and potentially constructive political developments may have helped the world’s biggest economies dodge a major growth slowdown.
...
Hopes of an initial trade deal between the U.S. and China this week help the outlook for Germany’s export-dependant economy—the eurozone’s largest—in particular, investors say.
So, I guess- trade tensions easing, bond yields surging.
Re: The GOLD scream room
Yup, it looks like there were public announcements today by both Chinese and American officials that the tariffs on each other's goods would be rolled back in phases if a trade deal is made.
My guess is that that news was the main driver of the sharp drop in gold and LTTs today.

Re: The GOLD scream room
The Wall Street traders are tripping over one another in a mad rush to dump safe assets for stocks because they think the global economy has been saved. I don't trade, but if I did, I would not be rushing back into stocks. I have confidence in Donald Trump. There is not much he can't screw up. Between Trump, Brexit, the ticking debt bomb and our unstable foreign affairs there are enormous opportunities for unpleasant surprises. For now I'm sticking with the HBPP and my smallish VP (VWIAX and silver).

I'm a gold buyer at $1435 with my 2020 Roth IRA money.

Re: The GOLD scream room
What I'd love in Jan on my annual rebalance is the opposite of what happened last year. With the drop in stocks late last year I was not able to lock in gains and sell some stocks in a rebalance.
This year I'd be able to rebalance a bit out of stocks if this uptrend holds.

You could always do it early. What are the odds that optimum gains are going to line up with your preferred date of sale?Cortopassi wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 5:22 pm What I'd love in Jan on my annual rebalance is the opposite of what happened last year.

Re: The GOLD scream room
That would be timing in a way. Blindly doing it in early January makes it mindless and emotionless -- as well, I have my IRA contribution cash going in early January each year so that adds to the cash amount.dualstow wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 5:56 pmYou could always do it early.

I support you STAYING the course for the reasons you state! Reading what you wrote reaffirms it all for me.

Re: The GOLD scream room
Wow, I'm amazed at how little I care about this....
since I decided to only look at my portfolio every 3 months. When I saw this post I thought, hey maybe I should check...then I thought, nah, got better things to do.

Re: The GOLD scream room
Nice to see gold at 1479.
Stocks were supposed to get a big boost from the latest trade & tariff talk. Now flat.

Re: The GOLD scream room
On CNBC, it was noted that even as people continue to pour money into the market (Stock Scream thread has an article about Mom and Pop investors excited by fee-free trading), there is also money going into classic safe havens. Hence the falling yields and rise in the price of gold. Why are they also going into safe havens? Supposedly a lot of it *is* corona. Some think that the market is finally ready to tank because corona is eating into profits: airline companies, internationally sold beverages, lots of things.
Others think that this will be wrapped up by May- that the virus will be contained, things will go back to normal, and in the rear view mirror, this will look like a buying opportunity.

I'm going to be selling a modest amount but not for that reason; I'm planning to buy a house this summer and am raising cash.
