Bond Crash Impacting A Portfolio Near You

April 16, 2024

Gold is one of the biggest winners so far in 2024.

But you can argue that it's really the commodities complex that is leading, and Gold is just one of them.

Check out the YTD returns here.

But the unwind in Gold stocks relative to other types of stocks looks to be just getting going.

Here is the Gold Bugs Index, which is loaded with all the top mining stocks, compared to the S&P500.

Notice the dramatic underperformance for so long, followed by a failed breakdown, and now the squeeze is just getting started:

There are names in this Index that we want to own right now. But there are smaller names, that just aren't large enough to qualify for the Gold Bugs Index, that we want to own even more.

You see, when precious metals are doing well, it's the miners down the market-cap scale that really shine the most.

We'll be discussing our favorite ones tomorrow, Wednesday April 17th, during our LIVE Video Conference Call.

Registration is open for Premium Members here.

And if you're looking for a catalyst, the Bond Market crashing is certainly one of them.

Long-term bonds went out at new 5-month lows yesterday, as this 4-year long crash continues.

Interest rates have been going higher.

I don't know why people keep telling me that they're going lower.

It's weird, because it's the exact opposite.

And you're seeing that impact stocks on an individual basis as well. Small-cap Technology has been selling off all of 2024, already down 10% Year-to-date.

And now Large-cap Tech is selling off too, at the lowest levels in almost 2 months.

I hope this helps put the current market into context.

This is always the first thing we do - analyze the market from a top/down perspective.

And THEN we look for opportunities within those ongoing trends, and new trends, to profit in individual equities.

That's where our Trade Ideas Page comes in and it's our primary focus during the LIVE Video Conference Call.

We'll be going over each of those opportunities LIVE on tomorrow's call. ASC Premium Members register here.

The complete video, deck of charts, and each of the trade ideas will be archived immediately after the call for you to access any time.

See you in there!
