In periods of stress, investments offering income and precious metals outperform, reports Mike Larson.
Two types of investments have become incredibly precious. Not only are they seeing incredibly strong demand, but they’re racking up powerful gains as a result.
They include, those that payout reliable, generous income and those that give you exposure to the rip-roaring bull market in precious metals.
Is it any mystery why? The Federal Reserve has declared war on your income portfolio while handing trillion-dollar-plus corporations like Apple (AAPL), the biggest, most unnecessary subsidies in the history of the world.
Yields stink on many investments. Others are trading at nosebleed levels.
You’re looking for answers — and you’re finding it in those two areas. My advice is to stick with it! There is no reason these two types of investments shouldn’t keep performing very well in the weeks, months and even years ahead.
After all, do you think the Fed is going to raise interest rates any time soon? Say, before the sun turns into a red giant and fries the Earth 5 billion or so years from now?
Do you think America’s investor class is going to stop needing income and yield to fund longer and longer retirements? Especially with our population aging?
Do you think volatility, economic uncertainty and elevated market risk is going away in 2020 and beyond? Especially with a second wave of Covid-19 infections spreading like wildfire?
Do you think mine supply is going to ramp up sharply? Or central banks in emerging markets and nations unfriendly to the United States are going to stop stockpiling gold as a reserve asset when there are so many worries about the quality and quantity of government debts?
Neither do I.
These aren’t short-term trends. They’re powerful, long-term forces that are going to be with us for many, many years. So, make sure you’re positioned to profit from them.
Specifically, consider exchange traded funds (ETFs), mutual funds and stocks that offer exposure to these strategies and sectors. It can be as simple as buying the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) or using our Weiss Ratings ETF Screener here to identify investments with higher yields and higher Ratings.
Bottom line? These precious investments have been winning. They should continue to win. And I want you to share in that success.
