The tension between the bulls and the bears is really strong right now.
Stimulus hopes and fears, political chaos and certainty, coronavirus spikes and potential therapies – all of it is playing out in a huge battle royale that's had the VIX trading in a range between 27 and 29 all week.
My experience tells me that, in the long run, the bulls will win out. All the ingredients – like a shrinking supply of stocks and easy monetary policy, to name just two – are there for the run higher to continue, likely for years to come.
But for now, we've got to contend with volatility, and maximize every opportunity it offers. If you've been with me for a while, you'll know we're selective about where we invest in the calmest markets, but right now it's especially critical.
That's why I'm going to share my thinking on the yellow metal right now, and show you an easy buying strategy… Full Story

Gold is near $2,000-plus all-time highs, so it's no surprise that investing legend Warren Buffett is riding alongside gold's bull run. But nobody seems to know about another class of gold plays to make right now, giving us more upside potential in this specific stock…

Warren Buffett's most recent SEC filing showed that Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A) purchased 20.9 million shares of Barrick Gold (NYSE: GOLD) in the second quarter.
This raised some eyebrows as Buffett has been pretty outspoken about his dislike of precious metals investments over the years.
In reality, it is unlikely that this was Buffett's call.
Rather, it was probably one of the other portfolio managers at the firm – Ted Weschler or Todd Combs – who each manage about $15 billion of Berkshire's investment portfolio.
The total purchase of Barrick Gold cost Berkshire $562 million, which is relatively small for Buffett, and more in line with Ted or Todd's position sizing.
In spite of that, the headlines screamed Buffett buys a gold stock.
And the headline traders piled in moving the stock price about 11% higher on Monday.
Today, I'll break down what the average retail investor should do with Barrick Gold stock now…

It's not just major news media that's talking about gold right now. Even social media is abuzz with plenty of talk and reviews about the yellow metal.
"'Gold is going higher' despite recent surge, says investor who's managed a precious-metals fund for a quarter-century"
"Stock market bulls should consider owning gold as an insurance policy"
"Gold's Run to Continue"
That's why today I want to talk about three of the best gold options for what I call playing the "long game" in gold. They can let you capture some nice profits in the long term. Because this gold story isn't over – as I'll show you… Full Story

Precious metals like silver and especially gold have had a stellar year, to put it mildly.
The physical bullion-backed SPDR Gold Trust ETF, probably the easiest way to invest in gold, is up more than 30% this year.
If you bought it at the March bottom, you'd be up even more, nearly 37% or so.
Since the last great gold bull market ended in 2011, this is the most movement (and most profit) gold investors have seen.
It's undeniably exciting.
Thanks to the bull run, gold seems to be everywhere; Wall Street is talking about it again, ads for gold are everywhere on television, and mobile app-based traders are piling in.
In the long term, they're absolutely right: Gold and silver will keep rising, and I'll show you why.
But do not join the crowd. At least not yet. What's unfolding right now will burn many overeager traders before it creates a big buying opportunity.
The real short-term opportunity I'll show you in a minute holds even bigger profit potential, and it won't be long in coming… Full Story

Gold, the oldest protective play there is, is new again. Coronavirus is tightening its grip on the U.S. economy. Did you see the second-quarter GDP numbers? A record-breaking 32% contraction.
The third quarter should be at least a bit better, at least on paper, but with the pandemic no one I know is staking much on that.
No wonder the yellow stuff just hit an all-time high of $1,971 and change just this past Monday. That's a gain of a bit more than 27% for 2020, and 36% for the past year.
I don't think the run is over – not by a long shot. Some conservative analysts are saying gold could top $2,000 an ounce before the year is through. I think that's just like how it sounds: conservative.
At this rate, it's not out of the question to think it could top $2,000 way before Labor Day.
Every investor should have long gold positions right now. They'll be protected, sure, and they'll see some appreciation – even more as the toppy market rolls over and the dollar weakens further.
But here's the thing: For as many investors as are rushing in right now, I'd bet very few will realize how to play gold, let alone maximize their gold profits in this climate. So, before you go out and by so much as a gram, make sure you read this, and make these exact moves… Full Story
