So, when the dollar goes down, Gold goes straight up as it continues to make a new high this morning. The top end of the Risk Range is above 2000.

The circles are where you buy more and the arrows are where you get paid. There have been four massive buying opportunities. It isn’t like this is just one day.

This is a process. Every single one of those basing periods across the full investing cycle, you get the opportunity to buy more.

Gold is up +66% over that period. If you are long an index like the Russell 2000 over the same period you are down -14%.

Now you understand that what we do makes a lot more sense than the Old Wall’s ways.
