Happy Sunday guys! What are your thoughts on gold as an investment as it sits at near all time highs?!
Have you heard of Tallymoney? What do you think about it?
My answer before watching the video- Yes because it'll only get higher. Gold is a physical and incredibly valuable commodity unlike stocks and shares. It's been of value for thousands of years and as more is dug up, it'll become rarer. So it's always worth investing in, no matter the price. It's a long-term investment, not something to trade imo and a great hedge against inflation. Gold is real money, not fiat currency.
Hi Mitch. Great video 👍 Interested if you personally hold gold as part of your investment portfolio & if so what percentage & in what form (eg. physical or ETC)?
Hi Mitch, how can i encourage my partner to start investing? She cant be bothered to watch any videos, yet complains she doesnt understand it. Its not doing any favours showing her my portfolio as the recent market drop isnt exactly great proof, ive tried to explain how inflation will eat away her money over time in the bank but I dont think im getting anywhere with this.
Thanks
My plan long term is to hold 2-3 years worth of living expenses in gold at retirement to mitigate sequence of returns risk. I believe this to be hetter than cash due to some of the points raised here. In down markets i will draw from thus pot, rather rhan equities.
Just a reminder before anyone goes all in, between 1980 and 2000 gold lost over 50% of it's value, even more so when you account for inflation, stocks in the modern era have never gone that long and not made you money. Also remember Gold doesn't spin off any income either.
If you are in the UK the best physical option is sovereigns, no VAT or CGT.
Short answer: no. Long(er) answer: the biggest mistake which inexperienced investors make is FOMO. However this is to forget that markets trade in oscillation both in terms of the psychology and risk posture of its participants. Very simply: whilst invested capital chases yield, retail chases certainly and it is very seldom when both cohorts coalesce.
Why has gold risen? It is a product of “uncertainty”. But uncertainty is always temporary and another product of it, is that it discounts equities. The capital which has built behind gold WILL reflow across into those equities. That is a basic fundamental characteristic of markets and if you’re not aware of it, you will simply end up being ‘exit liquidity’.
I ran a London PM desk for 8yrs so I know a thing or two about capital flow.
As well as a good hedge against inflation, storing (hiding!!) physical gold is also a good hedge against divorce settlements!!😂
I own iShares physical gold to smooth out the volatility in my portfolio
Sgln and chill. I’ll be piling in when/if stocks fall
I bought SGLP (Invesco physical gold ETC) as 6% of my SIPP in 2023 and very pleased I did…I only wish I'd bought more of it! After Trump crashed the markets last month, this was the only thing keeping my portfolio in the green! £34k investment is currently worth £52k….nice.
The next vid: Bitcoin 🙂 We need someone sane to have a stab on this one. Please.
Sold half my gold and bought bitcoin
What about gold miners they are business and are highly affected by gold prices – best of both worlds or worse?
I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 385K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% annually in dividend returns. I’d appreciate any recommendations for strong, high-performing dividend stocks!!!
Dunno where you’ve been the past year lol but gold has been rolling for some time now, buying in at this point I wouldn’t advise until we see some pullback on price,
This is the kind of content people need right now. More folks should be learning how to invest instead of just saving in a bank.
