It’s Time To Watch Gold Mining Stocks
I will discuss gold miners to give you an overview of what you can expect when investing in them.

As I’ll cover all the holdings of the biggest gold ETF, the Van Eck Gold Miners ETF (GDX), you will also get a good idea about the ETF. This article is part one of the top 10 holdings we’ll discuss.

Perhaps it’s too early, but it might actually be the best time to hedge your portfolio with gold miners.

Introduction

I’ve already described why it’s important to own gold miners in your portfolio. No one knows if gold will hit $5,000 or $500 in the next 5 years, but if you can invest in a way where you can’t lose much but you can also win big, it’s definitely a thing to look at. More →

The Best Strategies For Investing Late In The Economic Cycle
What has to be done in the late part of the economic cycle isn’t a secret. I’ll describe the how and what.

However, as always in investing, the question is why we aren’t doing the rational thing.

I’ll ask you a question that will help you answer how much and whether you should rebalance.

Introduction

Yesterday, we discussed how the economy is in the late part of the economic cycle and everything is leading toward a recession.

No one knows exactly when the next recession will start or what the trigger will be. So the only thing to do is to be prepared. More →

These Correlations Might Make You Reconsider Your Portfolio Exposure To Gold
Central banks are slowly introducing the markets to higher interest rates, but this is just due to inflation and thus the effect on gold will be positive.

Since 1971, the trend for gold, monetary policy, and government debt burdens is clear.

Portfolio exposure to gold of 7.5% should be seriously considered.

Introduction

Gold prices are difficult to forecast as anything can happen, but as I have already written about how gold should be a part of every portfolio because it is a perfect hedge for economic and monetary turmoil, I’ve decided to write about the current position of gold in relation to economic forces in order to better determine how much of a portfolio should be exposed to gold. You can find my reasoning behind owning gold miners in my article available here. More →

Why You Might Want To Start Dollar Cost Averaging Precious Metals
Central banks’ balance sheets have quadrupled in the last decade.

Balance sheets will continue to balloon as there isn’t another option for economic growth in developed countries.

You should start to think about protecting yourself from inflationary pressures now, when such fears seem distant and unlikely. It’s the cheapest time to do it.

Introduction

Yesterday we discussed the three drivers that could push markets higher if all other factors like interest rates, risk perceptions, and global political issues stay as they are now. However, we didn’t discuss what happens if the underlying pillars that have been holding up global financial markets since the Great Recession change. Today we’ll discuss what could change and how to properly diversify. More →

How To Spot The Big Trends Of The Future
In the short term, the market is heavily influenced by new information and noise.

In the long term, there are clear trends that can give you an edge to beat the market.

We’ll discuss a few trends that are clear but that will take time to develop.

Introduction

Some argue that the market is efficient and prices always reflect available information. The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) was developed by Chicago School of Economics Professor Eugene Fama who was also awarded a Nobel prize for his findings in 2013. Implications of the EMH are that it is impossible to beat the market consistently on a risk-adjusted basis since market prices only react to new information or changes in discount rates. More →
