I am generally not a fan of elements from the periodic table as investment, especially when tied to jewelry and fashion, however, in case I’m wrong, I did buy a little of GLTR, effectively an index fund of precious metals, so I don’t have to think about them.
I like GLTR because it holds physical gold. It also holds silver, platinum, and palladium
Looking for a review/advice for my soon-to-be portfolio. Just starting to self-direct invest on Wealthsimple. 45 years old, Canadian, want to retire in 10-15 years (loosely - will still freelance PT, just want out of the corporate machine). I have $100k to invest now, and will have double that in the relatively near future due to an inheritance. I also intend to invest $2k a month of my income for as long as this ride lasts. Cost of living is $4k/month, and I have a six month emergency fund sitting in my savings account at my bank. No debt, no plans to buy a home, no kids. I have moderate to high risk tolerance, just also trying to be a little cautious because my window to invest is good, but not that of a 20 year old. The breakdown: - 60% VOO (S&P US) - 20% XEQT (Diversification of markets) - 10% SCHD (defense likely to grow) - 5% AVUV (small cap) - 5% GLTR (precious metals because the world is on fire) I intend to invest fully in my RRSP until I max it out. After that, I'll transfer my almost maxed out TFSA from the bank and swap from VOO to VFV and possibly XEQT to XGRO. Then I'm in non sheltered accounts. Would also like to put my 6 mo emergency fund into a HYSA but I don't see that as an option on Wealthsimple - maybe it's a non sheltered etf like CASH? Thank you!
GLTR is a mix of approx. 65% gold, 26% silver, 5% palladium, 4% platinum
$FCEL $BE $RR $PLG $GLTR leaps
Is it better to hold IAU, which is a gold trust, or a basket trust of many different metals like GLTR? I currently hold both.
Put it in $GLTR the metals are gonna soar
GLTR is a good find. Gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.
I do it through stocks that represent those things but only as a small percentage of the overall portfolio. GLDM + GLTR for Gold and Silver, IBIT for Bitcoin.
ETFs are good. Look into: -SPLG (sp500) -VGT (technology sector) -GLTR (precious metals) -VXUS (international fund) Idk what cryptos, but it should only be BTC, XRP, SOL, and maybe ETH. But $1500 a month is good. This is assuming you max 401k and IRA already.
Non $ denominated assets. Metals. Research the GLTR etf. Holds physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.
I can dig into it tomorrow but off the top of my head we've got GLD, SLV, GLTR, and OIL. I've spoken to friends about this list in the past: https://money.usnews.com/funds/etfs/rankings/commodities-broad-basket
I own shares of GLTR and somehow it's down while gold and silver is up 
If you want to go long haul ETFs, you can spread it around to different ETFs to reduce risk. VDC, GLTR, SGOV, TLT, etc. Just keep adding shares when you can. There's also the dependable monsters if you want some individual stocks - Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Coke, etc. I'm doing my "gambling" by grabbing 1000 shares of cheap stocks in the hope that they blow up years from now. RKLB and ASTS is what I went with - but I'm willing to sit and forget on those as well. If it doesn't pan out, that investment now shouldn't kill me come retirement, you know? You're young and willing to acknowledge mistakes, so you should be fine.
Just buy GLTR or similar to get exposure to all of them.
Seems like that's happening now. Do you think I should strongly consider investing in gold and silver miners? GLD and GLTR are already in my portfolio, but those track the the prices of the metals themselves.
Made a lot in shit coins lately think I'm gonna move some profits to precious metals maybe GLTR
This. For precious metals, I buy the GLTR which is a metals ETF, composed of 61.73% gold, 27.11% silver, 7.30% palladium, and 3.86% platinum. I have precious metals in my portfolio, but they aren’t physical assets.
My allocation is: * VTI: 50% * VXUS: 30% * BND: 10% * GLTR: 10%
add URNM GDX. not a fan of GLD i use GLTR (no K1)
I think I have GLTR and GDX
I dug into the losers and investments I didn’t like. Two are going as soon as the market opens, even at a loss-GLTR and SCZ. The others, I’m going to think about a little longer. Reading up on them, I learned why he put me into them, why they are a good idea, and why I might want to give them a little more time, plus I need to figure out what I’m going to do with the money. If I told you how I came to “play the long game” you wouldn’t believe me.

While there is some positive price action in theseETFs at the moment I do not see a clear entry point for any of them. It would be constructive to see a base form and for price to break out with volume before considering any of these ETFs.
wouldn't mind hearing your thoughts on GLD GLTR and DBB sometime!
My biggest concern with just GLD is mineral diversification. I was leaning towards GLTR as it is composed of: Gold (60%), Silver (26%), Palladium (10%), and Platinum (4%). Is there a reason GLD would be better than GLTR?
Read about how to choose your asset allocation from Larry Swedroe "Only guide to a winning investing strategy,,," The book is just average, but read the 4-6 pages only that he dedicates to "willingness/ ability/ need to take risk". That is the best discussion on the topic and will help you decide on how much to each of stocks/ bonds/ cash/ alt. investments. If you are good with those % you have listed above the only rec. I would change is amount allocated to: VNQ and GLTR. Those are just stocks as well so the diversification is not as great as you may get vs. something like GSG and GLD as examples (commodities and gold itself) or even 10% in in GLD alone. The latter 2 as they are "alternative assets" will move completely different in the portfolio. Of course, that type of "frame of reference risk" is unnerving for many folks so they don't do it. If it was me and I wanted to stick to pretty much what you wanted but increase the diversification benefit a bit more I would just give rid of VNQ and GLTR and put that 10% in GLD. Also, simplifies the portfolio as well.
Zim shipping ZIM, Annaly NLY, BLOK, Broadcom AVGO, Altria MO, GLTR for taxes.
$GLTR and cash - March is coming which means deflationary shock and credit crunch whenever the ease of accessing money plummets.
I like GLTR. Pretty stable. It's at a good buy point imo.
You've been looking at investing in the mining of the metal, but you might want to invest in the metal itself. Others have recommended actually buying some metal and bringing it to your house, maybe under your bed or buried in the backyard. I don't know how much they are joking, but in case you want to invest in the price of gold itself and skip the shovel work, you can buy the price of gold with an ETF without having to do the physical stuff and guarding it with a shotgun. SGOL and a few others tracks the price of gold [https://www.aberdeenstandard.com/en-us/us/investor/fund-details/aberdeen-standard-physical-gold-shares-etf/common-stock/us00326a1043](https://www.aberdeenstandard.com/en-us/us/investor/fund-details/aberdeen-standard-physical-gold-shares-etf/common-stock/us00326a1043) That price is going to be the same as owning gold, minus the headaches. The expense ratio is 0.17%, likely cheaper than buying a shotgun and building a security perimeter around your home. Joking aside, you also get the typical conveniences of investing with an ETF: enter and exit at will with a few clicks, buy in fractions instead in gold bars, etc. Aberdeen Standard also has convenient ETFs for other metals. You can do SIVR for silver, or GLTR that combines 4 metals in a convenient basket.
$GLTR. just yolo in and sit back and wait for inflation to make you a trillionaire.
SLV SIVR PPLT PALL SGOL GLTR ETHE. They are all ETF’s for metals.
I just did a random spot check of about 20 of the 58 that had "short squeeze" over the last 5 years so what I saw is by no means exhaustive, but here is what I saw. At first glance, it doesn't seem like there was really any correlation between an earnings report saying that and a future short squeeze. There were some tickers on the list like ENG and MVIS that spiked just prior to the 10k being filed and have held their level. Both those 10ks area from 2021 though, so it's hard to say it's fully played out. There's also some like GLTR and GLRE where there was no spike whatsoever before or after the 10k. The only one I saw that spiked and then went back down was FLNT. Just because I found it weird, I also want to call out that 30 of the 58 10ks on the list of 58 were from 2021 and 15 of the 58 were for precious metal funds run by "Aberdeen Standard". I'm not really sure what either of those things mean, but it just seemed like something to call out. List of 58 10ks with "short squeeze" in them: https://www.sec.gov/edgar/search/#/q=%2522short%2520squeeze%2522&filter_forms=10-K
i picked 3 random from 2017. PPLT, GLTR. They just traded sideways until march 2020, big dip, then higher floor across 2020. GLRE went sideways for a bit, then went down in 2020.
There are commodity etfs where each share represents an amount specified in the prospectus that is redeemable as a physical ounce but if you don’t redeem, they hold it for you. Examples: GLD IAU AAAU BAR GLTR has gold, silver, platinum, and palladium PALL is just palladium Word of warning why I haven’t bought in yet and am just watching: based on Roman soldier pay 2000 years ago vs soldier salaries now, gold is worth about the same (roughly .02% growth per year) now and then so unless you are betting on inflation or your country has an unstable currency, I’d wait a tad
I like to use GLTR which has a mix of gold, silver, palladium and platinum. It's a bit heavily weighted towards gold though which hasn't been doing too hot lately. If you meant metals as in industrial metals, not sure if there's an ETF for it, but SLX is an etf that covers metal industries. It's been doing pretty well lately.
