From Dr. Steve Sjuggerud, Editor, True Wealth Systems:
Yesterday, I introduced you to the best investing strategy you’d never heard of…
It beats the market. It has only lost money in one out of the last 40 years. And it’s so simple a monkey could follow it. It takes about five minutes a month.
Importantly, you don’t have to know anything about interest rates, price-to-earnings ratios, recessions, or anything…
All you need to know is, at the end of the month, whether the trend was up or down in any of those five assets.
Is the black line above the blue line? If yes, then buy it. If no, then don’t buy it. That’s it.
The returns based on that investing strategy are fantastic, as I showed. Astoundingly, that exact same simple system works for gold, too…
If the black line (the gold price) is above the blue line (the trend), then buy gold. If the black line is below the blue line, then don’t buy gold.
See for yourself:
As you can see, from about 2005 to 2011, you wanted to own gold. And from 2012 to 2015, you didn’t want to own gold. (The blue line is the 10-month moving average.)
The results of this incredibly “dumb” system are astounding. Since 1971…
- When in “buy” mode, gold went up at a compound annual rate of 16.8%, and
- When in “don’t buy” mode, gold lost money at a compound annual rate of 2.8%.
For comparison, buying and holding gold would have delivered an 8% compound annual return.
What gold strategy do you have that beats this dumb system?
Most people don’t have one. But we actually do…
In my True Wealth Systems service, we have a variety of gold systems that are more advanced than this “dumb” system. Going back to 1971…
- Our “Gold Trend Trader” System has delivered 26% compound annual gains when in buy mode,
- Our “Gold in Currencies” System has delivered 39% compound annual gains when in buy mode, and
- Our “Gold Super Signal” System has delivered 47% compound annual gains when in buy mode.
These are astounding results.
(Of course, these systems are not in buy mode all the time.)
While these systems are more advanced than the simple system I shared above, they do have a lot in common. They don’t care about interest rates, price-to-earnings ratios, recessions, inflation, or anything like that. At their core, they rely on trends.
Most investors don’t believe you can make money by simply following trends… After this week’s DailyWealth essays, I hope you’ve learned the real power of simply sticking with the trend.
Good investing,
Steve
P.S. Most investors don’t know this… but there’s a “Magic Number” that appears before every big move higher in gold and gold stocks. I recently created a report explaining the Magic Number, how it works, and how you can use it to make a fortune in the gold market. Before you invest a penny in gold and gold stocks, be sure to read this.
