written by reader Has Gold lost its safe haven status?

By jbnaples, October 11, 2018

Hi Travis and my Irregular Friends,
I was just wondering your thoughts on how the price of gold is acting during this downturn.
I understand interest rates affect on gold but inflation should help especially if the dollar looses its luster a bit.
I just don’t see gold being seen as a safe haven this time around as the markets seem to be in a free fall and gold is somewhat flat.
Maybe investors are just waiting to put there money into some big names that were overvalued?
I expected gold to at least pop a little during this volatile market. What are your thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any responses. JB

I currently have 10% of my portfolio allocated to sprott physical silver and gold etf’s right now. I rebalance during major price adjustments over time. I personally feel these precious metals are a good store of value and provide some insurance in the event of a major collapse. I don’t know when the US dollar will fall, but I think it’s more a matter of when, not if. I also see catalysts from gold backed crypto currencies putting pressure on the gold paper markets. There are several new gold backed crypto currencies. See link below.

Kinesis.money for example will allow people to mint their own gold backed coins and earn a perpetual yield with no storage fees. I plan to sell my Sprott etfs in November and start Minting Kinesis KAG coins to earn a favorable yield. I think Kinesis will be a game changer and help drive the price of gold higher.
