Why You Need Exposure to Gold
Do you have exposure to gold?
Early last month, the precious metal broke to new all-time highs, rising above $2,000 for the first time in history. What’s truly striking, however, is that even after such a massive move, gold’s subsequent correction was relatively shallow. Indeed, it looks increasingly as if it has put in a base and is ready for its next leg higher.
If history is any guide, we’re just getting started here.
During the gold bull market in the 1970s, gold rose 585% during its first leg up from 1970 to 1975. It then corrected roughly 50% before beginning its next leg up. However, it was the SECOND move higher that was the BIG one. The price went up by a whopping 740%.
This time around, we’re following a similar pattern. Gold first rallied about 630% from 2003-2011. It then corrected about 43% before bottoming in 2015 at $1,060. If it follows a similar second leg up this time around, it’s going to approximately $8,000 per ounce before it peaks.
Literal fortunes will be made by this bull market. And if you don’t have exposure to it, you need to start doing so.
