Re: Gold to bounce soon?
Haha, thanks stuper1.
Looks like my insurance went up today as China strength is the US (USD) weakness
OR
Maybe someone is actually listening to all this whining and finally doing something about it

Re: Gold to bounce soon?
I have some proprietary stuff I follow...suggests a good time to buy. I rebalanced to up my gold holdings. On the other hand if history is any guide we could go lower, but the odds are against that.
Re: Gold to bounce soon?
Decent time to buy some.

Re: Gold to bounce soon?
budd has got the right thought process. Gold going up generally means something bad happened. I want to be hedged against that, but I don't really want it to happen.

Re: Gold to bounce soon?
I don't need a double, what I would like to see on a reasonably alternating basis is an asset leading for one year to pull gains out and rebalance into laggards. Back and forth, back and forth while the overall trajectory is up and to the right.
Problem for a while here has been gold hasn't been in take profits mode for a yearly rebalance, it has been a laggard.

Re: Gold to bounce soon?
Should we ever complain that a physical asset is becoming cheaper? I was watching an interview yesterday where the assertion was made that this is a mainly US phenomenon; that US investors tend to be trend followers and only want to buy what's going up. It's been my experience that nearly everyone I know here is like that.
I love these low prices, but I'm underweight everything save cash, so maybe I'm biased.

Double check that you are actually better off waiting to invest in the other assets. I’m + over 1MM YTD...you do realize that the S&P is +ve +7% and SCV for me + 12.5% YTD.eufo wrote: ↑Sun Aug 19, 2018 8:35 am Should we ever complain that a physical asset is becoming cheaper?

Re: Gold to bounce soon?
Oh yeah, for sure. I'm overweight cash from selling out of most of my small cap and mid cap exposure (IJR & IJH, respectively). I still hold some equities, but I'm underweight. I'll likely remain that way unless there is a big move either direction.buddtholomew wrote: ↑Sun Aug 19, 2018 9:20 amDouble check that you are actually better off waiting to invest in the other assets.

Something seems wrong in the market, so I'm not in a rush to get back to 40% equities.

Gold sentiment not bad enough, Hulbert index needs to go more negative...
Patience!

Re: Gold to bounce soon?
Yes; in a perfect world each of the 3 assets would follow the scenario outlined above. I don’t personally buy into the agnostic 4x25 allocation anymore. Why would you when stocks rise 70% of the time? I’ll hold enough gold and LTT’s to buoy the portfolio in times of inflation/deflation, knowing full well that any gains in these assets will go back into stocks for further potential gains.Cortopassi wrote: ↑Sat Aug 18, 2018 9:38 pm I don't need a double, what I would like to see on a reasonably alternating basis is an asset leading for one year to pull gains out and rebalance into laggards.

I’m done taking gold personally and as Sophie said it will be there when you need it.

Re: Gold to bounce soon?
Nice chart in article. Indicates good time to buy commodities which includes gold.
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/timin ... 2018-08-23
But when I compare years to gold price it makes me wonder if it is 1986 buy instead of a 1998 buy.

Did the USD just drop? Was watching Fox Business and noticed in the ticker that gold was up $20 at the time. Strangely, stocks were also up and setting all time highs, and bond yields were down slightly. Must have been a good day for the PP. I'm keeping my resolution to only look at my portfolio at re-balance time once a year but it probably would have been a good day to look.buddtholomew wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 1:09 pmI’m buying EEM instead; we’re both in the same boat waiting for the USD to drop.

Jesse Felder podcast and gold is discussed quite a bit:

FWIW, Recognia Chart Tools @ Schwab says GLD support is at $ 113.07, which is about like gold $ 1196.60. So when my cash hits Lively HSA, I'm going to put in a limit buy order for GLDM at TD Ameritrade.
Recognia is a pattern recognition program. At least it's unbiased, it's not just some person's opinion based on who knows what. It'll be right, until it's not.
