This summary was created by AI, based on 7 opinions in the last 12 months.

The reviews regarding SPDR Gold ETF (GLD) present a mixed bag of sentiments. Several experts express bearishness, noting a significant recent decline in GLD, with one analyst highlighting an -11% drop in the past month, indicating that the momentum money that once flowed into gold is now receding. Others suggest a tactical approach, seeing potential for a bounce given the RSI levels and the historical 200-day moving average. However, some analysts draw a distinction between investing in gold directly versus gold mining stocks, emphasizing the risks associated with the latter. The views on whether to hold or sell GLD indicate that a defensive strategy might be prudent as uncertainties loom over the gold market.

COMMENT

If gold holds above $1,900, the previous high, then be long in gold. But if gold falls below $1,900 after the Fed hikes, be very cautious.

SELL

Good option for gold ETF.
High liquidity.
Good long term investment (5-10 years).
Not buying at the moment. 

BUY

Sounds boring, but if you don't want to play the miners, you could buy some of this as part of your overall asset allocation. Big benefits to his client portfolios.

BUY

Good ETF for gold exposure.
If bullish on gold - good for investing. 

BUY

In a strongly disinflationary time, gold is the right trade. Stay long.

BUY
Gold has outperformed other commodities. Metals as a whole, he means. This is a trade. Good momentum now.
COMMENT
Best physical gold on the TSX Using GLD in the US. There is one equivalent on the TSX with a currency hedge but can't remember the ticker. Good exposure to the physical metal without the currency impact of trading gold in USD.
COMMENT
Gold. Has been bullish on gold for years. Given inflations, central bank policy and all the fundamentals should do well. It should not be correlated to equities. God should be trading at $2,500. Has been a frustrating trade. Crypto is affecting gold.
SHORT
Gold bugs, trim your holdings. The gold price hit the top end of her trading range today, so either take profits or short it.
BUY

GLD is the most liquid and actively traded one. It is a good way to hold gold bullions. If you want a currency hedge, he would use CGL. Gold stocks look cheap versus gold bullion right now.

COMMENT
What to buy in gold? Gold as a commodity is enigmatic. Sometimes it behaves like a currency. Sometimes it trades in synch with the market, but historically is a haven during turbulence. In gold mining, there are far, far more bad companies than good compared to other industries. Be careful owning miners--there be strikes, labour problems, landslides. Look at GLD or buying the bullion. He prefers owning a royalty play. On a given day, some mining stocks will rise while others fall. Be conservative. Don't buy junior minors if you're a novice in gold.
BUY
He uses this ETF since it is the largest and most liquid. It doesn't have the lowest MER though.
TOP PICK
The Fed balance sheet is projected to double in size. They are creating money and monetizing debt and we are never going to come out of this. There is going to be an inflationary impact coming from the world. Supply chains will change. These things will change dynamically but push costs up. Gold will benefit from that for the next number of years.
COMMENT

Gold? He likes gold as a safe haven. He thinks it could head to $2000 per oz, especially if interest rates continue to fall. He prefers owning the GLD ETF -- why take unforseen operational risk? He also holds Kirkland Lake.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 04/19, Up 14%) Gold hit his $1,700/ounce target today so he's no longer excited by it--unless you think the virus will get much worse. This is a bet on rising volatility, and he doesn't know if that will happen. Rather, he expects a snapback or volatility to decline. Mid-Dec though February is seasonality for gold. The trend is still positive.
