I get trading #gold and #silver, or the #mining stocks, when the price is running. I do that. But as a long-term #investment, it's absolute shite. I don't get why people want to own it. It barely keeps pace with inflation over the long-run.

Since 2002, #gold has performed better, averaging 9.82%/year.
Basically, if you invested in gold between 1999 and 2002, you outperformed the S&P500 until now. Over any other time frame since then #stocks are the superior #investment choice.
#Silver has a negative return since 1980.
79-80 is a fascinating year and story as two brothers tried to corner the silver market and drive the price up. They did...for a time.

Gold ranks as one of the least favorable alternative investments based on historical performance.
Real estate, farmland, #art, wine, #lego, #comics, trading cards all produce better returns.

I will need to do an in-depth article discussing the performance of gold over various time periods.
Here is the historical price performance of #stocks, as indicated by relevant indices such as the S&P 500, over the last 150 years.

This is one of the best #forex day trading patterns.
It occurs nearly every day on the 1-minute chart and it often occurs multiple times within a 1.5 to 2 hour time period (however long you opt to #daytrade). Get in and Get Out, make 💰💰.

I call these RTs or RBs, which stands for Rounded Top and Rounded Bottom. The pattern requires specific criteria, but if you practice them, you'll see them almost every day.
I only trade them on the 1-minute chart, but you may see them on other time frames or markets.
First, let's look at the patterns, and then I'll provide some context as to when to trade them, when not to, position-sizing, leverage, and other details.
