Gold Fails To Thrive

After years of resisting, what finally pushed me over the edge and into crypto was my disgust at gold’s behavior. Precious metals should be thriving right now. Precious metals should be where the smart money goes. But, nope, and this morning is no exception.

I'm glad to have nothing to do with gold anymore.

As a chartist, I was convinced of gold’s lameness recently because of the failed trendline. This line is resistance now.

It’s even worse with silver. Even when I was still trying to make a go of it with gold, I thought silver stunk. It has a mountain of overhead supply. It’s comic that the wallstreetsbets crowd actually thought they could “squeeze” the silver market to the heavens earlier this year. This metal is even worse than gold itself.

Not to say that all hope it lost. The long-term (and I mean long-term) picture for gold isn’t ruined yet. Years from now, it could absolutely be $5,000 per ounce. For now, however, I prefer to trade profitably, which is why I’ve thrown caution to the wind and am purely into digital assets that do not exist in any physical sense.

Kus emek!
Remember this first. It's just a metal!
That last plunge in gold yesterday was a kick in the metal balls of a gold community. That picture in the chart is epic. See you around 1400.
gold never have been so alive! 100 years ago it was only $20 and 1 year ago it was approaching $2100 !!! You can calculate ROI....
So time to buy gold then.  Smart money know what's up. Precious metals price is being kept at current level on purpose, Central Banks around the world are dumping their US treasuries and increasing gold reserves before the currency reset. After all pieces are positioned on the board, gold and silver will ******up.
Sounds like capitulation...well done.
Sounds like capitulation
Your disgust and horror at gold may well be short lived. At least in relative terms. One thing i learned trading the markets is patience, And you need lots of it with precious metals. My plan is accumulate now on gold miners with an horizon of 3 to 5 years. We shall be rewarded handsomly.
Im afraid you need to double, tripple or even quadruple the time frame...
: I regret to say that I have to agree with you . Regret because until a month ago I was following Paolo's strategy. 40% of my savings locked in gold miners. I've decided that even 10% is really a lot. With the 1st opportunity I will sell even at a loss.
You basically have to day trade JNUG make any money on gold these days.
Hi Tim. You displayed very well the reality gold/crypto. You displayed very well your thoughts about them. Articles rich in information , as today's one , help self educated investors to get orientated and make better decisions. Thanks.
Useless article indeed
At least you hedged yourself by not looking that dum b and saying gold has a change. It does indeed and it will happen when people like you capitulate
another useless article from another useless people.
Guess were close to the bottom
unfortunately his opinion is insignificant - otherwise I would agree
I like your last sentence. Caution to the wind to buy digital assets with no physical presence. It is a truthful look at what you and many others are doing and convinces that I shouldn”t, despite the short term numbers.
"my disgust at gold’s behavior" "I’ve thrown caution to the wind and am purely into digital assets that do not exist in any physical sense" In a world with the lowest ever interest rates as well as the perceived inflation, makes sense to go with the crawd. Poor guy!
Psych 😂
