One benefit of this forum is that you can always tell when Gold isn't doing so well even if you aren't paying attention because Budd and Mathjak are always here to let us know.

Re: The GOLD scream room
i own quite a bit of gold.
but less than half of what i did when i had the pp .
i still think gold will do okay , as well as bitcoin .
long term bonds i have less hope for

Re: The GOLD scream room
I predict this pull back today will be viewed as nothing more noise within a month or two, at most.

Re: The GOLD scream room
More pain ahead...
Almost done selling down to 10%
It’s unbelievable how poorly the PP is performing this year.
Thank the lord each day I don’t hold 4x25 anymore as my faith in this portfolio has faded to zero.
Gold and LTT’s in the toilet again.

Re: The GOLD scream room
We always know only one day of a gold selloff never happens.
We also know gold never rides up high for any length of time without getting spanked.
I know MJ was good at pulling the trigger on trading these events, and I tell ya, i am almost interested in doing some side options to take advantage.
This will as stated before allow me to sell off some of the high flying stocks and dump into TLT and gold and silver.
It actually feels good for me. I know you can pooh pooh the PP all the time, but the ability for me to be forced to harvest gains on these stocks is priceless.
And I'll feel better about it when eventually, maybe sometime in the lifetime of the known universe, stocks actually go down for more than a day or two.

Sell high, buy low. Sounds like a good strategy.

looking at today gold is down almost 1% , commodities up almost 2% and gbtc bitcoin up 3.50%
Re: The GOLD scream room
Portfolio Visualizer has a 5 year annual return of +50% with a rebalance each year. Does the 20% discount bother you on GBTC.

think it will close or get deeper with the new ETF's coming. I do think the 2% or so expense ratio will for sure need to be reduced.

Re: The GOLD scream room
Gold will give up 5% on just talk of being hawkish. Think of an actual rate increase of a 1/16 of a point. Revist the 1980's if you doubt.buddtholomew wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 8:10 amMore pain, yay PP...not!

I got 25%, but the world does not believe in Gold as a hedge for anything!
Re: The GOLD scream room
Hard to take it to the bank in 1980 when it hit $850. Nice for a few months but only pain for the next 40 years vs other assets.
Re: The GOLD scream room
We have been in a bond bull market over that period as rates dropped from 15% down to essentially zero.

As the saying goes, trends will remain until they stop.

Finally, from 1/1/20 until now, gold beats every major US stock measurement (sharpe, CAGR, Max DD). That's a long time and at least 50% of the average investor's investing life span. However, if you split the time period in half the story is 180 between each period.
As mentioned, nice wind in the sails or an anchor.
