China has gold mines and there recently found a big deposit on chinese soil. So I would consider any mention of China gold as Narrative pushing. They can simply tax the gold miners and mandate they get paid in gold. Yes gold has long sideways stretches which makes it perfect for a covered cll fund like IGLD, IAUI, KGLD. These funds would pay a monthly dividend even if gold does nothing. And if you want you can sell the fund when gold sees price growth. Or you can use the dividned payments to buy gold bars. You can expect a yield of about 10% although right now with the recent extra volatility these funds have doing better than that. I honestly I would rather has constant income from a investment instead of waiting to year for brief opportunity to sell.
You could get overexposed to gold. But the bigger problem is you you're putting money into an asset that may never pay off for you. Gold has tendency to stagnate for long periods of time. And then for a short period of time shoot up and then quickly drops. Many miss these peaks and either sell at a much lower price or don't end up selling it. I could instead invest in IGLD. IGLD sells covered alls based on gold price. this fund Basically converts gold price volatility into steady income. Overall it will generate 10% yield of 10%This would be 1K a year for 10K investment. Note the yield is currently higher right now because here was a large special dividend recently. Eventually the yield will drop to its historical normal level. Ther are many funds you could invest in for income which generally is better invesmtnte than a shiny metal. Such as QQQI 13% yield SPYI 11%, EMO 9%, UTF 7%.
Regardless about what will happen in the future with gold. I would not buy and hold gold. Instead I would invest in gold covered call fund like IAUI or IGLD. Both funds have about a 10% yield. This means you don't have to watch the price of gold to determine when to buy or sell. Instead you invest your money into one of these funds and simply hold it and collect the monthly income these funds generate. This has higher liquidity than simply buy gold bars and you don't have to worry about secure storage or selling since the fund does all that foryou plus it gerjneates consistent income .
The S&P500 is probably the best long term choice in your portfolio. Nasdaq 100 and SMH would simplify your individual holdings. Your portfolio is approximately ~75% tech and ~55% S&P500 top 10 stock concentration. US large cap Broad market index: 23.7% S&P500 (SXR8) € 23.7% .

Just a gold ETF is a easy choice For growth I like SGOL or GLDM or dividends I like IGLD or IAUI I bought both growth and dividend today in the down market
There are basically 3 ways to invest in gold. 1. Invest in companes that mine it and collect the dividends or sell the stock when the price is high. 2. Invest in a fund that buy and stores the gold in a vault Whenyou depoist money into the fund they buy gold and store it. When you sell they sell your gold. You pay storage fees for this but you get a much better price than you will athlete corner gold shop. 3. incwar in A Gold covered call fund. the fund holds gold and sells covered calls on what they hold. The covered calls convert the price volatility of gold int cash which the find pays out as a dividend. IAUI and IGLD are 2 I know of. These funds produce a constant stream of income. The thing you need to keep in mind golds price is typically very stable for a long period of time. With only occational short surges in price that don't last long. So if you want to hold gold you might end up holding it for years before its price increases when you sell. So buying and holding gold is really notworth it in my opinion. That leaves 1 and 3 as your best option. I think 3 is the best choice.
I like your thoughts. Money will move to Treasuries at 5%, it will not only come from gold but stocks. but as to holding gold, I hold it though IGLD and IUAI and I do get a yield, about 10%
buying and selling physical gold is almost always end up bad for individuals. However for an institution generally get a better price. There are ETF that just buy and sell gold. Basically you: 1. buy shares of the fund 2. They buy gold and store it. 3. The price per share of of of the fund equals the price of gold. 4. If you want to see you sell shares of fund. 5. Then the fund sells the gold. 6. hey charge you expense to store the gold. Another way involves gold cover d call funds. 1. You buy shares of the fund. 2. They buy and hold gold 3. The sell covered calls on the gold 4. The fund then distributes the profits the covered calls as a dividend To me the gold covered call funds are more appalling to me. I know of IGLD and IAUI both have a yeild of about 11% payed out montly.
the best way to invest with gold is to use a gold covered call fund like IGLD or I AUI and both yield about 10% . I GLD currently shows a higher yield because of a special distribution lat last year. its these funds you don't hold gold. The funds make money from covered call and pay that out as a dividend. No need to find a safe place to hold gold. No need to by and sell, No need to wait years for the price of gold to rise and then sell Just regular monthly income.
Problemis gold often doesn't have 10% grwoth. It can go a decade with no growth at all. Rather than buying and selling gold invest in IGLD or IAUI. both have a dividend yeild of 10%. The fundsellls covered calls on the price of gold. The profits from those calls are payed out as cash dividends to investors.
There are covered call funds that used covered calls to convert price volatility of gold and silver into dividend income. yields are about 10%. For gold IGLD and IAUI are two I know of. Additionally these are tax efficient funds meaning you pay very little (close to zero in) taxes you ib the duvudebd you recieve from the fund There is also a silver fund but I don't remember the ticker for it. IAUI is Neos funds and they have other covered calls funds and most are tax effect and have high yield. SPYI and QQQI are covered call funds that invest in the S&P500 and NASSDAQ 100 index. with similar yields and tax effficienty
there are three ways to investing in gold. * Buy a ETF that invests in companes that mine gold. their share price moves up and down with the market value of gold. And some of these companes pay a small dividend. GDX is an example of ETF that invest in gold mines. * Buy ETF the buys gold and stores it in a vault. buying the ETF is equivalent to buying gold. Selling the ETF is equivalent to selling gold. Thes funds don'tpaya dividend.GLD is one such fund. * The last way is to use a fund that cells covered calls on the blue of gold. with funds like IGLD and IAUI you can get about 10% dividend yield from the fund payed out monthly. With these options you never actually have gold in your home or a local bank. And since you are not buying gold from local stores or selling t at local shops you you don't have a dealer markup that.
It really comes down to what you’re optimizing for: yield, max drawdown, or total alpha, etc. I’ve been tracking these on my [**Dividend Radar**](https://dividend-radar.azurewebsites.net/), and while **IGLD** and **IAUI** were consistent Top 5 staples for months, last week’s volatility pushed their valuations into 'Expensive' territory, so they've actually dropped off my leaderboard for now (i suspect not for long). I usually wait for that 'Cheap' signal to trigger before I pull the trigger on a new position. If you’re debating a specific list for 2026, I built a comparison mode that lets you stack them up side-by-side.

>“Gold doesn’t pay dividends” $IAUI has entered the chat… Yep, IGLD for me.
There are multiple types of ETF for precious metals: ETF that hold the stock of the mining companies. ETF that take your money but the metal and place it in a vault and charge you a storage fee.. When you sell your share share of the ETF the metal is removed from the vault, sold and you get the money. ETF that use covered calls or some other trading activity with the goal of making money on the price movement of the metal and pay out a dividend. with funds like IGLD and IAUI you can get yields of around 10%. Dividends are cash payments to you. So with these funds you are not interested in holding gold. you are invested in the fund for monthly income.
One new option available for gold is covered call funds li IAUI and IGLD. these funds write covered calls on gold. Bot have dividendyields of about 12%.
Most of the adds you see on TV are mostly about convincing you to buy and invest in gold. No about gold bing a good investment there are 3 basic ways to buy gold and silver: * Invest in companies that mine gold * Use a company or ETF that buys and sells gold. you buy a shar of the EFT and they buy gold and put it in vault. The you sell the shares they charge a fee sell the gold and give you the money,. * Buy a ETF athat uses covered calls to convert the pricevolatilitty of gold into a cash dividend. IGLD and IAUI are tow I know about.
One option is to invest in gold covered call fund. such as IGLD. it currently has a 14% yeild that means every year you get $3.36 per share cash payment. IAUI is similar with as 12% yeild. With these funds you get monthly cash payment to you. In many other gold funds you get nothing. If you invest in a fund that buys and sells gold for you and stores it in a vault you you pay them for the service.
Add a Gold or Silver ETF for some diversity though brokerage account I like dividends to I use IGLD, IAUI, SLJY
I buy gold and silver ETFs for monthly income and to hedge against the markets. It is working out great. If the price of gold starts dropping unexpectedly I won't lose much. But if the price maintains it is steady income for years to come. $GLDI* $IGLD $SLVO* I do the same with BTC. $BITO $MSTY * These are ETNs and the divs aren't stable, but still getting high yields monthly.
I embrace the volatility by having covered call etfs for similar markets. Simplifies my portfolio and allows me to buy/dca into equally sized buckets. Three asset classes, in pairs. One ticker for growth in low volatility. Another in same asset class for volatility income. SPY/XYLD TLT/TLYW GLD/IGLD
