It has been an excellent year for gold as an investment. Year to date, as I write this, the precious metal is up 65%, and the momentum to higher prices doesn’t seem ready to abate. I believe gold will continue to move higher, possibly much higher. I could be wrong; I often talk to subscribers […]
Silver, the precious metal, has gained over 100% this year, starting under $30 per ounce and now trading above $60. It took sustained effort for silver to finally crack the $60 level after breaking $50 in early October, climbing into the high $50s by late November, and repeatedly testing resistance. That ceiling gave way on […]
The precious metal silver has been red hot, up 71% over the last year. The iShares Silver Trust (SLV) has gained 42% in the previous three months. A 10% drop in late October was short-lived. The downturn’s failure to be sustainable is a good indicator that silver will continue to march higher. My investment newsletters […]
After peaking near $4,400 on October 20, the price of gold has tumbled sharply, and as I write this, the precious metal trades below $4,000. If you believe, as I do, that the pullback in gold is a buying opportunity and that the price will rise again (did someone say $5,000?), I have an ETF […]
Precious metals, gold and silver, have posted great returns this year. The uptrend appears likely to continue. My newsletter services focus on dividend-paying investments, so I am always interested when a new ETF that generates income from a non-dividend-paying underlying asset hits the market. On September 29, Kurv Investment Management launched the Kurv Silver Enhanced […]
Gold has been a hot commodity, pun intended, with the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) up 42% over the last 12 months. While we hope the trend continues, gold can remain stagnant for an extended period, and income-producing gold-focused funds can be appealing. Covered call ETFs sell call options to generate income when the underlying […]
The financial news media generally ignore gold and silver. You should not. While stocks now trade flat year-to-date, gold is up 29%, and the yellow metal has gained 45% over the past 12 months. It seems likely that the gold rally will continue. Foreign central banks are accumulating gold, while Chinese citizens are also increasing […]
So far this year, the U.S. stock market has experienced a bear market, followed by a recovery. As I write this, the S&P 500 is right at breakeven for the year to date. It makes for an interesting time to see how the ETFs using covered call/option strategies to generate income have fared. Of the […]
Gold has marched new record highs this year. You are a happy camper if you own gold or gold mining stocks. Silver has not yet joined in with gold for these record-setting gains; however, it seems very possible that investors will start looking for silver to mirror the gains in gold. The popularity and price […]
Gold is a hot commodity and a popular investment. The precious metal has gained 19% this year to date, and 38% over the past 12 months. While I expect gold to continue to post gains, those profits won’t come in a straight line. The new world of option income ETFs enables investors to gain exposure […]
