What about silver?
I'd worry about treasuries once currency velocity picks up. Inflation might really hurt treasuries
Wouldn't it make more sense to compare same type ETF's? Miner ETFs to each other and physical gold ETF's to each other
Hello ETFguide 🙋🏻♂️ I would like to request please for an #ETFBattle between KRE and KBWB… Thanks!
Historically long term treasuries have performed better than GLD (unless you bought GLD before 2007 back when gold was cheap), but TLT is now at an all time high with little further room to grow unless we get negative interest rates while GLD continues inching upwards with each swing. TLT has also historically dropped sharply after the stock market stabilizes while GLD keeps going up from all the stimulus-created inflation catching up.
Imo the advice to buy TLT would have made sense before the market started crashing, but now that it's already crashed, TLT has no room left to go except down while gold still has plenty of room to go up.

Next battle MJ vs ACT
Any comparison between AAAU and GLD?
It’s August and gold is still on track to hit all time highs when adjusted for inflation.
Additionally, the oracle of Omaha has just bought into GOLD, I’ll leverage to play on gold price!
Mr. Buffett must be a very very bullish on gold
Just found ur videos earlier this week and have ripped through them. You guys are doing awesome stuff. Keep it up!
Although GDX is better, GLD trumps for mid to short term investing due to being Wall Street's fave etf.
Split decisions are bs
Treasury can be issued to infinity whereas gold supply is limited
Great video! I appreciate the informative insight!
What about AAAU which allows you to get your gold no matter how little?
The one Topic you dismiss is the TAXES…holding and selling your GLD you still get taxed up to 28% just like if you would of owned it physically.
GDX/GDXJ is considered just an stock ETF and if you hold it for more than a year you'll be TAXED at MAX of 15%…So the GDX is good to buy many shares at low price dips and dump it around few years down the road and collect a profit keeping in mind those Taxes won't hurt you much like if you would of owned GLD….True,holding GDX/GDXJ you don't own anything physical.
im new to investing but i should’ve bough oil etfs way earlier
UGL is also a good Gold ETF, it's a lot like GLD
What a great contrarian indicator that guy is on Treasuries! They peaked literally as he was speaking! Legend!
