Re: The GOLD scream room
Nice it is holding above $1300. But whatever. Good year so far for stocks. I do find it hard to believe the current 14% up YTD for S&P 500 will be sustained, but who knows, that's why we own some.
Re: The GOLD scream room
I don't find it hard to believe having experienced it before when it wasn't expected. That's why I just sit back and let the PP do it's thing and try not to think about it too much.Cortopassi wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 3:22 pm Nice it is holding above $1300. But whatever.

Here is a short column on gold and a very conservative portfolio by a guy who is not a shill for some gold dealer.

Oh, yeah, that truck has been overloaded for years. Backed up so much, can't get into drive.

Re: The GOLD scream room
Did we ever have a poll about whether you think gold is losing investors to cryptocurrency? There is a thread with almost those exact words (change to "..to Bitcoin). {Edit: or maybe I'm thinking of the opposite?}
There are various opinions about whether crypto *deserves* gold's customers. Still, I wonder if a lot of market share is lost with regard to millennials who would have bought gold if crypto hadn't existed. I don't know.

Re: The GOLD scream room
I personally don't think that most crypto investors would have otherwise been gold investors. Crypto-bugs generally tend to be tech-bugs. I think the tech aspect of it is generally what attracts them to it. I work in the tech industry, and the people I come across that are big into crypto wouldn't invest in gold if crypto didn't exist. It's more of a bet on what the future will be. Gold is viewed by them as being the past and is not attractive because of that. FWIW, the people that I know that are crypto-bugs are also pot stock bugs, FAANG stock bugs, Tesla bugs, and pretty much just chase all the fads. I think gold really is and always will be the epitome of the anti-fad asset. So I don't personally think that crypto has stolen any real sunshine away from gold. I think the dollar has stolen a lot of golds sunshine in recent years. Also, in the early 2010's gold was a really overbought bubble and like any overbought bubble it needed to pull back and cool off for a few years.dualstow wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2019 12:15 pm Did we ever have a poll about whether you think gold is losing investors to cryptocurrency?

On a side note, gold has a promising high volume reversal day today going on. IAU literally touched the support line at exactly 12.25 and then shot up from there. The bulls stepped up and defended the line right where they should have with above average volume, that's a promising sign that we may be just consolidating and forming a constructive bottom to start a new leg up from in the coming weeks. We will have to wait and see.

Re: The GOLD scream room
@pmward : makes sense, thanks.
Re: The GOLD scream room
I'm still interested in buying more gold on dips. This MMT discussion, Medicare for All, trillion dollar deficits hint that I might like more than my current 11.4% gold.
Sven Henrich uses the daily, weekly, or monthly 5 period exponential moving average (5EMA) as a way to determine if prices are abnormally high or low in the short term. If the candle bar completely detaches from the 5EMA line, then it's a temporary high or low, it will eventually touch the line again.
If you look at the monthly 5EMA for gold the last five years, it picks the dips pretty well when the candles disconnect downward. The lower bound of the "commodity channel" indicator available on Schwab charts works in a similar manner, and picks the same lows as 5EMA.
5EMA is more rules-based, less guessing.

Re: The GOLD scream room
Don't forget that the Fed is also on record in their minutes of considering negative interest rates in the next downturn, and if that happens gold will benefit as well. The Fed has slowly been painting themselves into a corner over the last 10 years, eventually at some point in the future the public is going to catch on to that fact. I'm happy with my 20% allocation, especially since gold has been out of favor and consolidating for 8 years now. With a consolidation period that long (and still going), when it does eventually break out, boy is it going to break out! It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.
