Most focus on mining investing; it’s fun, rewarding, but the wait can be long. These small stocks don’t follow the $Gold cycles closely.
Here a short example how I personally builded my own account when it was tiny by using $Gold cycles
Timing strategy is more stressy but gives consistent % increase when in a bull.
Defining a bull market is THE condition;
Imo, we just saw a generational bottom in $SILVER, which marks the end of the bear market. And a DB of the 2016 miners low.
During the intermediate $GOLD cycle (6months), you are 100% invested, no trading around ST daily cycles;
No daily stress & almost NO brokerage fees.
Example
March 16 enter 50% GDX, march 18 enter 50% AGQ
April 14 roll 50% GDX into 50% SILJ
On a move like this you make literally a fortune;
Rince & repeat at next intermediate low.
Off course, you need cycles.
This is basically what I do in my options portfolio during bull markets, i post those entries/exits live.
This can be you're whole portfolio using 4 ETF's
This works also with tiny accounts. But only for aggressive traders which can afford to loose all.
I blew up 1 account in my life;
Till last year that was 50/50.
On a good cycle, i transfer profits to the mining portfolio so it keeps at 10%
Off course, you can stick with stocks to grow your account without leverage. That's the smartest👍
