Buying Gold's Election Window

BY: NICK HODGE

Stocks and gold have gone a whole lot of nowhere since August. 
 
The S&P 500 is at the ~3350 level and gold is just above $1,900 — despite moves higher and lower from each over the past two months. 

 
They’ve both been trading inversely to the dollar. 
 
So it’s not stocks and gold that are being indecisive ahead of the election… it’s the greenback. 
 
The volatility that has ushered in is an opportunity. It has allowed you to buy gold, gold stocks, and stocks more cheaply — if you’re willing to take advantage. 
 
The election, in time, will prove a mere distraction from the underlying issues the market has so far successfully procrastinated facing. Neither donkeys nor elephants can defy the laws of physics or economics. They’re both animals. 
 
When the winner is announced the rampant unemployment, depressed earnings, and virus will still be there. 
 
Position accordingly. 
 
That’s defensive with precious metals and utilities for now. 
 
Post-election that likely means getting back into U.S. equities on a fresh round of stimulus — at least until the procrastination catches up. 
 
Let’s get through today first. 
 
Call it like you see it,
