Can you buy any ETF funds like GBUG or SGDM
Check out VGPMX vanguard global capital cycles. It invests internationally in a variety of industries and commodities that aren’t directly linked to US tech. VYMI - vanguard international dividend. These are all blue chip international companies in a variety of industries but doesn’t have commodity exposure like VGPMX VIPSX - inflation protected bonds - this gives you a bit of stability in a highly volatile market that is seeing higher inflation. Retirement is 2-3 decades away. Now is a great time to build up your fixed income part of your portfolio. Vanguard has a wide selection of bonds to check out, but considering the inflationary environment, I wouldn’t put too much into bonds, just add a little bit here and there. Last thing to check out, is precious metals industries. They tend to do well in shaky markets that you’re seeing right now. Putting a couple percent into something like SGDM or GDX, both solid gold miner ETFs can diversify your portfolio. Politically unstable times with shaky financial markets make gold and other commodities more valuable. Do some research, find assets that match your risk and volatility tolerance, and keep on saving!
Gold. Gold is only going up. Look at its [5-year chart](https://imgur.com/a/gld-5-year-gnEC2VH), and then the [1-year](https://imgur.com/a/gld-1y-AUWAH7K). With all the craziness going on in the world, gold isn't going down. Sort all the ETFs by 1-year performance and gold and its miners are high on the list: AUMI, SGDM, GOEX, RING, GDX, GDXJ, GLD, IAU If you buy them, sell Covered Calls against them. 30 days at 25-delta is good. If you know how to buy deep ITM Calls as *stock substitutes*, then do that for 4-5x the juice.
I asked chatgpt It said GLD and IAU for gold exposure I went with IAU because if retail enters gold, it'll keep going with lower expense ratio and looks "cheaper" (and it moves the same, pretty much) Then mining, GDX, GDXj, GOAU, SGDM I went with GDX, because it's less volatile but SGDM did the best out of them Physical gold? I do want to bar an ounce or two but the fees for selling and buying are 3-5% both ways. Likely will make more on the ETFs
Oil and Gas are great. AMLP, EPD, XLE good sector index. All kinds of ETFs for metals, Sprott is a good firm....PHLV, PHYS. Also SIL, SGDM. I'm some of these, in cash and waiting for lower prices though. I'd stay clear of individual miners, especially the Juniors, high risk.
SGDM is better researched as they have cleaned out some of the rotten eggs from GDX by being Sprotts own index. THat said; they have historically performed practically the same. I hold SGDM and also SGDJ being their small cap gold miners which is very different (much small caps) than GDXJ. For the "safer" option I like GOAU as it is very streamer/royalty focused.
HYMC was on the brink of bankrupcy before Eric Sprott and AMC got a hold of it. Its mostly low grade, meaning it is a play on much high silver prices. It's a very speculative play. Producers like First Majestic are already producing 40M ounces a year with half their operations being exploration once silver takes off. A small position in HYMC wouldn't hurt, just be sure to average down as it's currently propped up by the AMC hype. and are currently diluting massively to take advantage of it SGDM - Love sprott, the holdings look good KGC - Can't say I know too much about this one. I would just be going off what reports show me it looks like they have had a lot of insider selling. Either way, a rising tide will lift all ships
Sprott: ticker PHYS (physical gold trust) Sprott: ticker CEF (physical gold and silver trust) Sprott: ticker SGDM (gold miner stock ETF)
What do you think about SGDM?
I'm in SGDM and CTRM. Their stocks seem criminally low for what they're doing.
Yeah, I'm not pleased. SGDM is the second stock this week that I got the Caveat Emptor message about through Fidelity. I'll try later in the day or early tomorrow and probably be pissed about all the missed gains.
