Zenolytics Flashback 2018: Making The Case For Gold
Coming into 2020, one of the two events that I had taking place during the year was gold going parabolic. Now that gold is getting there in terms of a parabolic move, it's a good time to flashback to late 2018, when the idea of gold as a long-term investment was presented here in an extensive write-up detailing all of the ways gold could go right in the years ahead. Here is a small excerpt from that note. The link to the full research is at the bottom of the page: Apart from an abundance of data showing that both gold and even more so, gold miners, are absurdly cheap. There is anecdotal data such as the fact that Vanguard recently changed their metals and mining fund name to the “Global Capital Cycles Funds,” taking down exposure to miners to just 25% of the fund from 80%. This leaves Vanguard investors, which, by the way is the largest mutual fund company in the world, with no way to participate in the advance of gold or gold miners. As an aside, the last time Vanguard made a similar move was in 2001, before the secular bull trend in gold started from $300. Needless to say, Vanguard follows demand by its investors. Investors have abandoned the sector, creating a highly asymmetric opportunity. As is usually the case, investors tend to follow each other blindly over the proverbial cliff, without doing much in the way of thinking about liquidating asset classes that are either overwhelmingly in favor or taking positions in sectors that are overwhelmingly out of favor. This leads to vast discrepancies between price and actual value during periods of exuberant enthusiasm and despondent pessimism. The job of the investor is to capitalize on these discrepancies, which is often times an exercise in absolute isolation. The act of buying into despondent pessimism is extremely difficult because you are effectively alone in your opinion, without evidence, other than your own, to substantiate a thesis. For a majority of investors, this is an extremely uncomfortable place. Others tend to thrive, seeking only situations where few other investors are present. T11's strategy dwells heavily in the latter discipline. Gold falls right into the classification of an extremely uncomfortable place where few other investors are present. It doesn't simply stop at gold being a sentiment and value driven play. There are events unfolding in the geopolitical and macroeconomic landscape that leave very few scenarios where gold doesn't appreciate in value: 1. The Fed stops raising rates = dollar bearish/inflationary ramifications/bullish for gold 2. The Fed continues raising rates = substantially...
