Patience is the illusive attribute for most, for example, how many investors cash out at doubling or tripling? the majority, because you always feel the need to lock-in profits, but imagine early Amazon investors who did that, kicking them selves as the train steamed on, as long as the fundamentals are still positive, the reason to sell makes less sense, but holding a super fundamentals share where the whole market is diving, also makes no sense, so I try not to get attached too much, I don’t use stop losses, it’s too easy to get sold out on white noise, rapid market movements to the down are certainly manipulated to take your shares cheaply, and I’ve seen a share drop 10% just before great news is released and many were spooked off just before the push higher.
Looking at Gold, look at the start of Covid, Gold initially plummeted when you expected it to rise as the pandemic news scared the markets, but the bullish fundamentals were intact and gold pushed those temporary lows to the highest highs ever, at $1700 now, Gold is taking a breath, because the fundamentals are still good medium term for gold, inflation is coming, no doubt, good for gold, and the huge global debt levels taken on in the last 12 months will force interest rates to remain reasonably low, they can’t raise rates to slow inflation as seen in the early 90s as a weapon to cull the inflation, because the cost of these new debts would be disastrous, so inflation will run hot, so I’m confident on Golds medium term prospects as in $1900 dollar plus, the short term is already here at $1600 to $1700, so this period is a hold or add, it’s not time to sell gold stocks, I’m heavy in MTL and a relatively small portion in POLY, reason being MTL is more like an early Amazon, huge upside and patience is required, I have doubled my investment in 4 years but I’m still adding, because my long term goals are much bigger, but POLY is a great Dividend play, and I’m interested to see how that pans out for me over a 5 year term, plus POLY being a Silver play as well, which has even better fundamentals than Gold at the moment, can only play well here.
