Key Divergences Point to Higher Gold

Gold Resilience

Following some recent declines, the gold market has not accomplished much thus far in 2019. Although many of the so-called “experts” may pounce on this fact, we see it as a significant positive for the market. Not only is it a positive, but it could potentially be indicative of a major rally on the horizon. Here’s why we can count on gold resilience: Gold has endured a stronger dollar: Typically, the dollar and gold have a negative correlation. That is to say that when the... Continue Reading

Don’t Wait

After rallying several hundred points off yesterday’s lows, stocks are once again under significant pressure today as worries over trade and numerous other issues take a toll on investor sentiment. As stocks continue to crumble right before investors’ eyes, the gold market is quietly pushing through previous resistance at the October highs and could be gearing up for a significant rally in the weeks and months ahead. There are numerous issues at play that could facilitate a sharp asset rotation in the months ahead, and... Continue Reading

Dips are the Best Time to Buy

Coins and Watch

The best time to buy an asset is when it is on sale. Given the recent 2% decline in the price of gold, current levels could fall into that category. Short-term dips in the price of gold should not be feared, but should be welcomed. This is a great opportunity buy gold at a lower price point. There are those that will argue that an asset should not be bought on weakness, but should rather be purchased when it is showing strength. This is a... Continue Reading

3 Important Questions to Ask

just the beginning

There is without question a very strong case to be made about why you need to have physical gold as part of your portfolio. This asset class can not only potentially see significant appreciation in value, but may also provide an important hedge against numerous economic and geopolitical issues such as inflation, deflation, a weaker dollar and more. Perhaps the more important question to be asking is not if you should incorporate gold into your investment strategy, but rather how much gold should you buy... Continue Reading

Another Reason to Diversify Away From Stocks

This week has certainly been one for the books. Massive swings in stocks, coupled with the largest spike in volatility ever recorded have likely put more than a few investors out of business over the last several sessions. It may get worse. The fear of inflation and rising bond yields have definitely weighed on stocks. There are other forces at work as well, however, that may be adding fuel to the fire. It’s no secret that some investors may have been making money off of... Continue Reading

A Different Perspective on Risk

Washington Gold Bar

Risk and control of it is perhaps the single most important theme for investment success. Without risk, there can be no reward. On the other hand, too much risk can easily wipe out any gains-and more-sending the investor back to square or worse. Like any other issue, risk should also be kept in the proper perspective. Given all of the recent coverage of rising interest rates, it seemed like a prudent time to talk a bit about rate risk as it pertains to gold. It... Continue Reading

Current Signals

Gold Fine

The gold market is off to a great start in 2018, and the current rally in price could have room to run. Aside from watching the market move sharply higher in recent trade, there was another development that could be worth noting: The gold ETF, SPDR GLD, climbed for 11 consecutive sessions before finally seeing a down day last Wednesday. GLD is the largest gold-backed ETF. Why is this worth paying attention to? This would seemingly be indicative of significant inflows finding their way into... Continue Reading

Gold and Bitcoin?

The current Bitcoin and cryptocurrency craze has taken markets by storm. While gold remained relatively range-bound, Bitcoin was moving higher-a lot higher-until hitting the $20,000 market this week. The currency has since pulled back a bit, but it is likely not the end of the run higher. Without offering a guess as to just how high Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies could potentially go, perhaps the bigger question and issue at hand is why these instruments are garnering so much interest. The monetary system has been run... Continue Reading

Be Ready for the Rebound

on the way

Gold has been on its heels in recent trade, as a number of factors have been working against the metal. Higher stocks, the possibility of a tax deal being made and a lack of any fresh bullish news have all likely played a role in the metal’s lackluster performance. The upcoming Fed meeting is also possibly taking a bite out of the market as well, as investors get ready for another 25 basis point hike from the central bank. A rate hike seems like a...

Isn’t the Whole Idea to Buy Low and Sell High?

Gold Coin Plant

When it comes to the gold market, perhaps the old saying should be changed to “buy low and sell high-if ever.” That is likely the mentality behind gold investors at this point, as the yellow metal remains stuck in a trading range. The gold market has some issues working against it currently. Higher stocks, a stronger economy and overall robust appetite for risk are all playing a role in the market’s current lack of upside follow through. In the absence of any fresh, bullish catalyst,...
