TOP PICK

Down about $2 from 2 months ago so good entry point (on sale). Gold does well in times of turmoil.

E.T.F.'s

BUY on WEAKNESS

Has been a long term bull on gold for the last few years. Below 1200 is a great risk-reward trade. Gold in the next few years should get into the 2300-2500 range. Thinks that there is a dynamic where there is so much debt in the world and central banks willing to accept inflation. Real rates will be negative and this will be bullish for gold. However, there are cryptos that are pulling money from gold, which is a dynamic that has not existed before. Trimmed a little into the strength. Trading it now.

E.T.F.'s

HOLD

Gold stocks have been incredibly cheap for a few years. Still thinks there are a couple more years in the gold sector. Bitcoin has taken some of the money that would have gone into gold. Rising yield is also a headwind. The reason you want to own gold has not changed. Rising inflation pressure relative to nominal yield is a strong story for gold. Volatility is to be expected but there is more upside to come.

E.T.F.'s

HOLD

It has been a frustration couple months since the fundamentals are strong for gold to rise. There is a lot of money that would have gone to gold that is going to Bitcoin. There is an alternative flight to security. However, in the long term, the thesis still holds for gold.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

Still bullish on outlook on precious metals. Central banks will have to monetize debt to keep the party going. We will still see growth but at the expense of the balance sheet. Monetizing debt will be a theme for the foreseeable future. Silver is an important compartment for electrification so it could see a good play. Gold will be important for the devaluation of fiat currency.

E.T.F.'s

TOP PICK

He likes gold and he holds bullion. XGD is pricey, though. The underlying stocks here are Newmont, Barrick, Agnico Eagle or Kirkland Lake. You can own the stocks or pay a MER and own them all here.

E.T.F.'s

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.

E.T.F.'s

DON'T BUY

He owns IAU instead. Gold itself, not gold miners. He buys gold as a diversifier opposite his equity, so he doesn't want more exposure to equities.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

You should look at moving averages or trend lines that works with your investment horizon to decide when to buy dips.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

The large gold companies in Canada. Contrast to ZGD, which is BMO's equal weight gold global producers. Gold exposure is important to buffer inflationary shocks. Most portfolios are underexposed to asset classes that can provide returns when inflation starts.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

You get exposure to mid and large cap Canadian companies with some companies abroad. A good way to play the sector without trying to chose specific winners.

E.T.F.'s

DON'T BUY

XGD vs. HUG and the impact of the November election XGD is the granddaddy of gold ETF wth top holdings being Newmont, Barrick and FNV, totalling 40%. Given this weighting, he prefers HEP. HUG holds the actual gold. He doesn't know how the US election will effect gold stocks, which is why people buy gold--a reaction to uncertainty.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

HEP-T vs. XGD-T. HEP-T has a covered call overly to the gold stocks and generates extra yield. If you are bullish then you don’t want that covered call. If you are a yield seeker then it is a fine way to get exposure to gold.
