SPDR Gold ETFGLDSELLJun 21, 2023Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Jun 05, 2026. Market Open.
His firm has a 5-10% weight in gold at the moment, depending on the risk tolerance of a client. Most of it is just owning GLD, but at a level certainly no more than 10%. For good portfolio management, you want more than just 3-4 names.
You won't get hurt holding GLD, but individual mining names have run up and are primed to have some $$ taken off the table. Wouldn't be surprising for some bit of news over the next couple of months to knock the gold rally for a loop.
He sold half in May as yield began to rise, and sold the rest today as GLD broke below the 100-day moving average, last seen in fall 2022. You want to own at least some gold now with the deflationary effect (from March's regional bank crisis). He may step back into this for the long term.
