Budd,
Before you stress out too much on Gold, have a listen to Harry.

It’s a tax loss for now and possibly a TLH with rebuy in 31 days.Ad Orientem wrote: ↑Wed Nov 14, 2018 6:34 pmIf that's what makes you comfortable then go for it. Just stick with whatever asset allocation you decide on. Switching portfolios because you are unhappy with how one asset is performing also means locking in losses.
If gold goes up I still have the lion’s share invested and that should be sufficient.

Re: The GOLD scream room
Budd's right, gold is moribund. For centuries it was needed for trade, but now we have fiat. Yes fiat burns up but thats the idea, you're not supposed to hold it. As India evolves, they'll drop gold too. It might still have some utility as a measuring stick.

Re: The GOLD scream room
I don’t know, they’ve been saying that for a looong time. Especially every time it’s down.

Look at the price performance of GLDW vs GLD since mid-April 2018. Gold's suck is purely due to the strong US dollar. If you hate gold at this time, you're betting the USD will continue strong . Hmmm... this too shall pass.
The SPDR® Long Dollar Gold Trust (NYSEArca: GLDW) offers investors an innovative way to access the gold market by removing the potential negative influence of a strong U.S. dollar (USD) on the price of gold. GLDW seeks to track the daily performance of a long position in physical gold and a long position in the US dollar against a basket of non-US currencies, including the euro (EUR), Japanese yen (JPY), the British pound (GBP), the Canadian dollar (CAD), the Swedish krona (SEK) and the Swiss franc (CHF). The structure of this ETF effectively provides investors the benefit of owning an exposure to gold as though they had purchased it using a basket of six, non-US dollar currencies.

Re: The GOLD scream room
Might as well scream a little. Stocks way up because possible slowing of interest rate hike slowdown and TLT down and gold flat?
I think Budd has it right!

Re: The GOLD scream room
Maybe it's time to review how gold is doing versus other currencies, since gold's "performance" with regard to the dollar in the short term, is really just about the dollar.

Re: The GOLD scream room
In the stuff I track, with a 1 Yr return, look who's the least stinky now....
Re: The GOLD scream room
But that's not what Harry Browne promised us. He said that every single day that stocks go down, gold will go up twice as much. Right? He did say that, didn't he? I'm pretty sure I heard that somewhere.

I saw a quote that said gold was up 7.2%. I must have mis-read it or something.

Re: The GOLD scream room
What, no comments on the big surge today?
Also, I see the S&P 500 is down about 12% YTD, whereas gold is down about 5% YTD.
Neither is great, but I know which one I prefer...

Re: The GOLD scream room
I saw gold at 1278 today before the stock market rallied.
Fun while it lasted.

Re: The GOLD scream room
I no longer feel the need to defend a 4x25 allocation. I like the portfolio a lot more after catering the %’s to suit my temperament. I want Au to rally and it has shown strength the last couple months.
Re: The GOLD scream room
He's an oddity, but even oddities could be right, if only purely by accident. Charles Nenner says to look for gold to make a low in mid-June 2019, then head higher. I mean, why not? I need to buy ~1% more gold, to make my pile 12.5%, which would fit into my ambition to have half-HBPP and half-VP.

Really. Mid-June. Might as well pick a specific date.
