SELL

Doesn't know if it will hit $3,000, but it's going higher. He's bullish, but it's had a tremendous run up and short term, gold is overbought. Buy any pullback and don't chase strength. Also, physical gold has already factored in rate cuts, so disappointment is more likely. He'd sell gold.

TOP PICK

He's not a gold bug, but there's a time and place to own different assets. Tremendous amount of government debt. Central banks around the world are buying gold right now at the greatest pace in a decade. Private investors are not engaged, because they had such a bad experience over time.

Part of a balanced portfolio. Own less fixed income, and more gold as an alternative safety hedge. For the first time in 45 years, less volatile than a treasury bond.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 03/22, Up 20.5%)

It's a hedge, used to preserve his purchasing power. Happy with the gain YOY.

TOP PICK

Forgot gold stocks, but buy this which holds actually gold. Also, it's in USD.

TOP PICK

Hold physical hold, not the stocks. With the inflation scare, the price of gold has done nothing, hanging around $1,950, but should be higher. Gold will protect you from higher volatility which he expects.

TOP PICK

The CAD can easily go to 65 cents, reflected in the price of gold. Either the TLT or PHY explodes. If we enter recession, TLT outperforms and gold declines.

BUY
CEF-T questions It'll still be okay, but is one-third exposed to silver, the rest gold. Silver is far more sensitive to the cycle. If you want exposure to purely gold, look at PHYS which should do better if there's an inflationary shock.
Unspecified
It holds physical bars of gold and is a good product overall. We are near the end of the gold seasonal period but gold is good for the long term.
COMMENT

Gold producers? He prefers to own the Royal Canadian Mint (MNT) and Sprot (PHY.US) and Franco-Nevada (FNV). He likes the physical element. He would also consider the Junior Miners ETF (GDXJ). At some point, there will be a role for gold to help the economy recover.

TOP PICK
In deflationary shock periods you want access to gold. He likes that you could take physical delivery of gold rather than through futures. It also avoids exposure to companies potentially being limited in their mine operations due to COVID-19 restrictions.
COMMENT
He has been holding this. If you are holding it for the upside of gold and silver, it is a good place to be. If you are holding it as a cash component, it is a good place to be. If you wanted the speculation, he would be looking at good quality companies to get the further upside.
BUY
Likes gold as an insurance against some sort of disaster. Has a huge regard for management and their capabilities.
