Mark’s all about asymmetrical returns.
While every trade has its risk-reward profile, you get asymmetrical returns when you turn that profile radically toward “reward.” So today, Mark put together the perfect trade with asymmetrical return potential – the iShares Silver Trust ETF, where he’s seeing some activity that’s uncovered a promising options play….

Recent concerning volatility seems to have side-stepped this metals stock as it continues its steady trek higher.
As traders, we typically wouldn't mind a little erratic stock behavior..
But with this producer of industrial materials, we can tap into all the explosive profit potential of an uncertain market, without the being taken for a bumpy ride.

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…

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 is trading higher by about 15% year-to-date; a global pandemic and widespread economic destruction will tend to drive investors toward the safe havens.
And with no end date on COVID-19 and the increasing likelihood of a lurch down to March lows, there's plenty of headroom for more gold gains.
And that makes right now the perfect time to make this smart move.
For the past month or so, gold has been trading around $1,700 and $1,775.
In fact, our Chris Johnson believes $1,700 is a technical floor, or a "launch pad" from which gold can rocket higher – 15% or even 20% from here.
So yes, this is the right time to own gold.
But you don't have to be content with those profits alone.
Make sure you're holding these gold shares before gold moves another cent higher...

Over the last 12 months, the price of silver is up a remarkable 16%.
Since its lows of early 2016, the metal has gained an impressive 42% so far.
I think 2020 is setting up to be another positive year for this precious metal.
Here’s a look at the details on silver’s fundamental and technical setup, and what that means for the price of silver in 2020.

Gold investors are getting frustrated as the price of gold continues to drift sideways.
But this is a blessing in disguise for anyone who hasn't bought gold – or wants to stock up some more.
The gold price has already gained 17% in the last 12 months, and 2020 promises even more as banks around the world buy up gold.
In fact, the price of gold could reach a five-year high of $1,700 next year...

The price of gold is up by an impressive 20% since Thanksgiving last year.
That's even a bit better than the S&P 500, which has climbed about 19%.
I'm thinking gold could hit the $1,700 level in 2020 thanks to a catalyst we haven't seen since 1999.
But that's not the only thing driving gold prices.
Movement in the price of gold has largely been unnoticed by the average investor.
The big money, however, has been very active in the gold market.
