RISKY

He's not a big buyer in the gold space. His models look for intrinsic value. Gold does not have a dividend or cashflow or a revenue stream. Lots of excitement in the space, but it can be volatile over its history.

That being said, XGD or GDX are probably your best bets.

WATCH

Gold.

Gold remains in an uptrend, past his target of $2600. He's a big fan of the Commitment of Traders data from the Chicago Board of Trade, which comes out weekly on Fridays at 3:30 pm. Commercial traders continue to reduce exposure on the way up. Though gold can push higher, we're getting to the end of this move in the intermediate term.

We've had a good move, but he's cautious at current levels. Vulnerable to at least a near-term correction. Some charts look great, such as OR, AGI, and WPM, and he'd gravitate toward those.

BUY

ETF for gold producers.

XGD and ZGD are the Canadian go-to names. ZGD is equal weight, so the big caps don't run the show.

In the US, he likes GDX or GDXJ (for the juniors).

BUY

Likes gold bullion as hedge against US Dollar.
Gold stocks at 5 year lows.
Good time to buy.

DON'T BUY

Likes it as well as GLD in the gold space, but he doesn't own any gold. Gold does not hedge against inflation or war. Gold is doing nothing as Putin wages war and other countries like China arm themselves.

BUY

options This ETF has hung in there even as gold has flattened. The market bought 10,000 of the April 29 expiring calls, going for 70 cents. This is a breakout. Goldminers will continue to rise and maybe make new 52-week highs.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 23/21, Up 26%) Nearing end of seasonal period so on following the mandate sold last position. But gold still has room to run and can do well.

TOP PICK

Representative, cap-weighted. Gold performs well coming into the new year. That, plus rising stock market and rising gold prices, and you could see gold miners do quite well. The run could extend into March and April.

BUY

Depending on the vectors you want exposure to, these are his favourite ways to play the gold sector. He believes the world will be in a low interest rate environment for years to come. Gold will outperform.

COMMENT

Broad lithium play with LIT. Battery technology is the future. You want to buy on dips. For copper, COPX is a basket of copper focused fund. For broader precious metals, GDX would be his preference.

BUY

He is still very bullish on it. The next move by the Feds is something that must be measured over the next year or two. There is bandwidth on how you want to play it, but he remains bulllish.

BUY

Going on two years, he's been bullish on gold and gold miners. Gold miners are the biggest position in all his defensive portfolios. It will be more volatile than it has been, but he believes there is still lots of room to run still.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 09/19, Up 41%) This holds the big players like Newmont, without absorbing the risk of those companies. He's taken a little money off the table to buy mid-sized gold names like Alamos. He likes gold and this ETF was the purest play.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 15/19, Up 10%) He was bullish on gold and still is. They got hit hard on the way down because of liquidity. Monetization of debt will cause a devaluation in currency and this is bullish for gold.

COMMENT

Will the gold miners catch up to the gold price? They should but they are equities with risk. The monetization of debt that will be necessary by central banks around the world is a bullish scenario and gold stocks will eventually come. A lot of these mines aren't working today, however. He has positions in the sector.
