In a Zero-Rate World, There’s No Limit to How High Gold Can Rise
From the Baltimore Clubhouse – About a month ago, I was thrilled to find myself on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. It was my first time in this rarefied place, despite my 30 years at The Oxford Club.
Of course, the NYSE is no longer the frenzied traders’ den of yesteryear. It’s now dominated by an active New York TV studio set and surrounded overhead by a slew of computer monitors.
But I was excited and honored to be at such a historic venue – the beating heart of the world’s financial markets!
I was a guest of the Club’s Pillar One Advisor Frank E. Holmes, CEO and chief investment officer of U.S. Global Investors. He invited a small group of colleagues and friends to help celebrate the two-year anniversary of the U.S. Global Go Gold and Precious Metal Miners ETF (NYSE: GOAU).
Passing high-security checkpoints, our select group was escorted to a private board room. Frank addressed us on the gold market and why his fund has been outperforming not only the S&P for the past year, but also all the other popular gold miner indexes. Today, the Go Gold and Precious Metal Miners exchange-traded fund (ETF) is up more than 45% year to date.
There are specific reasons for this. For one, Frank employs active management strategies that no one else we know of is using. Furthermore, 30% of his fund is invested in royalty companies in the precious metals sector versus just pure mining companies. (To view all of U.S. Global’s ETFs, click here.)
After our discussion, we were escorted by security to the exchange floor. There we wandered the floor together, waiting for the market close. Everyone was taking photos, in awe of being there. We were in high anticipation of the ding, ding, ding of that closing bell. Then it happened, followed by a big applause. The market had had a good day.
Frank’s gathering in New York was timely: It’s gold, not the stock market, that’s stealing the headlines.
Today on Market Wake-Up Call, Frank joins guest host Rachel Gearhart to talk about the future of the gold market and how best to profit from it.
Frank shares these insights:
- What is really fueling the gold market right now
- How you can best leverage the booming precious metals market for even higher returns
- The difference between the “love trade” and “fear trade” in gold
- Two interesting ways to capitalize on the booming love trade in India and China… including a great place to buy gold jewelry online and the microcap company behind it.
As Frank says, the “fear trade” in gold is happening right now. By seeking a safe haven in gold, investors are spiking its price up in ways you might not expect.
So you don’t want to miss this discussion.
Minimizing downside risks in a “zero interest rate” world is one reason the core portfolio of the Oxford Wealth Pyramid suggests a 5% asset allocation into precious metals.
With gold on a tear, this is one of the best interviews you will watch this year on how to allocate into gold.
Enjoy your holiday weekend (and to our Club colleagues and friends in Florida, please stay safe),
Julia
