Gold’s bull market

Timing is everything, but if you want to be a ‘strong hand’ investor, don’t be too hasty to get out when it comes to commodities. Despite its recent fall, there is still a bull market for gold.

Think of any market you like and look at its history and you will find a time when to remain invested in that market would have been a financial disaster.

From 1929 the US stock market fell 90% it did not regain 1929 levels until the 1950s! From 1972 the UK stock market fell by 75% it did not regain 1972 levels until 1983 and inflation for that period was massive! From 1990 the Japanese stock market fell over 75%, it is still nearly 75% down! From 1980 gold fell nearly 75%, only now is the price higher. If post war, you had held UK gilts then by 1980 the value of them would have been smashed to pieces. War loan still trades below par.
