GET HIGH AND STAY HIGH
New Trading Strategy
(no not Pot Stocks)
OK….The consensus here is we are in a Consolidation phase with in a Bull Market that has years to play out … in the Gold Complex .
And there’s the rub !
The Complex !
It’s complex !
Most of us want to make a killing in the PM Stocks …so we buy every time there is what appears to be a breakout and then try to hang on while it all disappears on “corrections”
Some just sit on the PMs and ride them up 100s of % and then back down again …with no exit strategy.
SOME SAY THEY WILL BUY AND HOLD BUT SELL ON THE FIRST 15% BLIP.
Anyhow its a tough game .
I try to hedge and get caught the wrong way and compound the problem.
So here’s my new Strategy
$%^*(K the Gold Stocks
Gold and Silver Miners have been THE worst investment vehicle for ever.
I will just put 80% of trading capital in plain old GLD and 20% in SLV (for the thrill seeker in me.)
Tomorrow.
I’ll let you all know how this goes in about 10 years.
No more 3X Kakamami Kamikazi bullshit rides to frustration anger and self flag u lation.
That’s for the unemotional pro’s like Rambus.
Just Plain Vanilla GLD for me ( IT’s Paper Gold ) …but so is everything else and everything else is just a leveraged version of the basic GLD.
Everything else in the “Complex” is a derivitive of Gold and ergo GLD
Some think GLD is evil. I think its the best way to play Gold.
Phys Gold ?
Ok have some but that’s not for trading….IT REALLY DOES JUST SIT THERE
Phys Silver ? ….ever try selling a bunch of it…Backbreaking experience. !
GLD with a little SLV ( on the side) ( to add the spice)
Hold until the Chart Wizards in the Community say sell….2 years 5 years 10 years ?
Its boring that I am looking for.
In and out trading is exhausting.
KISS
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex … it takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction.

Candidate for post of the day!
Agree it’s way better than the 3x bankruptcy vehicles!!
Good luck Fully!
You’ve got the favorites in the race covered. but sometimes a $2 ticket on a longshot like NUGT is fun, too.
But Fully, they just lowered trading commissions to zero. Now’s the time to trade in and out! 😉
Last time I sold my hoard of physical, I swore never again.. Personally, I like the sprott products for paper gold.
You have a good point though. Last gold bull I also owned physical silver at goldmoney, and life was so easy. I just added to my pile. Easy and in the game is not a bad place to be.
Thanks T-Bone
I just looked up the Sprott PHYS.TO and PHYS.U.TO Gold in Canadian and Gold in US
Looks like a great vehicle. I will buy half each …and hedge the Canadian Dollar
I forgot about these !
🙂
Fully, my advise would be to both reduce the size you have invested in this sector and focus only on big gold names. No silver names. They never make money. If gold goes to 1700+, the leverage will be in miners! I would overweight big gold miners until we reach gdx 40 to 45 level, from that level sell initial investment and RELAX. From gdx 20 level in May 2019, big names like GOLD, AEM, AU, NEM did perform well and are still up 20-40%+ after correction, so why worry? Alternatively buy a mining fund. Then you will trade less. I like ASA, they have good managers. https://www.asaltd.com
Thanks Alex.
GDX is essentially a mining fund with all the big names in it
60% GLD 20% SLV 20% ETF sounds the right mix
I had posted this a while back on twitter, as I was trying to crystalize one of the elements that make it soo hard to hold on to a position…
“Harmonize your trading style to everything else! Waiting for monthy closes to confirm a buy? Check that chart 1x per month. Waiting for daily close? Check that chart daily. Checking a chart daily when you’re basing the entry or exit on monthly close will make it harder to hold…
Same goes for social media (stocktwits/twitter/blog).. The noise you want to reduce has to match the timeframe you are trading… reduce that activity and you’ll find it easier to manage emotions and hold longer…”
Kinda doesn’t make sens to post daily on when you mindset has to be set on a different wave length… I believe we can do it eventually with practice.. might be a trait of a great trader.
Fully, how about keeping some cash on the sidelines until the bottom is in?
Thanks for the ultimate contrarian signal Fully! Time to back up the truck!!! lol
You are welcome Olyeller
I try my best to fake out those damn bots
🙂
You broke the addiction Fully, congrats. I hope withdrawal isn’t too difficult. Drink plenty of water to help with the sweats, and stroke your ass daily for comfort.
