I'm Charlotte Mloud with investingnews.com and here today with me is Steve Barton, host of the In It To Win It show. Thank you so much for being here. Great to have you as always. >> It's great to be here, Charlotte. Thank you. >> Of course. Really good to be catching up with you. And usually we start with gold, but I thought today it would be appropriate to begin with silver given the price activity we've been seeing lately. So, I'm hoping you could start by breaking down the breakout that we've


seen in silver. Tell me what you're seeing in the charts there. >> Okay, let me uh share my screen here and we'll get right to it. Uh very very exciting on the uh uh on silver, you know, especially for longtime investors that have just been in this for a while. It is fantastic to see that we are hitting new all-time highs. So, let me just back up the chart here and uh we can all relish in this for a moment. Uh so back here 1980 you know basically hit 50 50 bucks in day but uh uh where it


actually closed here. You can see that there's a trend line that connects right over here to two to the 2011 high and then it strung all the way over here to present day where we got a topping of it right there on the October uh bar and then we blew through it here on the um uh November bar. And if I go to the weekly here, we can see that it hit there and then it also hit here the uh second week of November and we finally had a convincing break above it uh at the uh at the end of November, which was


really cool because we had an all-time weekly close high and we had an all-time monthly close high. So, this is a confirmed breakout. We're we're we're in new territory here. Um which is fantastic. Now, if I go to the daily bar here, we can see that in the very very short term, um, we have a parallel channel right here that has so far just been obeyed, right? And this is going back until, uh, uh, basically the liberation day selloff, right, around midappril. And, uh, it's just kind of


stayed in these channels. And you can see that that it's hit and obeyed it pretty well. So what I see at least for the um for the you know immediate term for silver I wrote down 56.85 right here. And what that comes in is this bar right here hit a low of 56.85 on the futures market. And then this bar 3 days later hit at a low at 56.85. A perfect double bottom to the penny. Right? I don't believe that's a coincidence. I think that's a number that that everyone should just kind of keep in the back of


their mind. And it certainly doesn't mean it can't be broken. But uh for it to hit like the penny to the penny on that, there were traders that that were looking for that and that's where they had their order set and so they bought as soon as it hit it. And I think there could be traders that have that same exact number in their uh uh in again. And so if there's a trader out there that wants to take advantage of it, I think that's the number you need to be looking at. Now, where do we go from


here? Uh I went over this in my weekend show and I basically So there's three ways that this could go, right? The silver price could go up, it could go sideways, or it could go down. And what are the probabilities that I'm assigning to each one? I would say with this setup right here, there's probably about a 20% chance that we go down from here. And by down, I mean breaking this 56.85 level. And then our first level of support right here is going to be about $54. And that's just that white trend line that


goes back forever, like 45 years, right? Okay. So that's your first initial support right there is going to be $54 and then after that will be this bottom part of this parallel channel that so far has been obeyed for about 6 or 7 months right I think that uh uh there's about a 20% chance of it going down breaking this coming down to this level and after that if it breaks this parallel channel we'll have a have to have a discussion there uh but I think that's kind of a low probability maybe


only happening one out of five times Now, about three out of 10 times, 30% of the time, I think we kind of go sideways here in what's forming up to be what's called a bull flag. And so, if we uh a bull flag basically looks like a pole going up and then it kind of looks like, everyone knows what a flag looks like. It looks kind of like that. Ideally, you want this angle to be 90°. Um, but that's basically, I think, the formation that we're starting to see in silver here. See, we've got the the pole going


up and then we're starting to get the flag forming out right now. Ideally, as silver investors, I think we want to see this go sideways for a little bit longer. I think we want to see this this build up. And all this is is this is just people that bought down here. Some of them are taking profits. They've got, you know, options contracts that are that are uh expiring. They're selling. It's getting down to this point, this 56.85. Other people are buying it up. and we just want to see this kind of


grind sideways and in my opinion do this for another one or two weeks before the next leg higher. Okay, so that's scenario number two. I see that at about 30% chance and the other 50% chance here I think I think we just move up. I think this does not end up being a full uh you know like mature bull flag a long time scale. It's just a quick It's a toddler, right? It's uh it's just going up here, right here. In the next few days, we break up above this trend line, which when that happens would act as support,


and then we're off to the next levels. Um I could put out some uh some targets if you want going up to the next levels. But those are basically the three things I see. 50% to the upside, 30% sideways, 20% down. >> I think that's a a great summary of what we have going on in silver. And I like that we look at those three different scenarios with the probabilities. I think it would be good to look at some of those those price targets upward that you had in mind, especially as we're


heading into 2026. We're about to kick off the the new year. >> Okay. Sure. Let me uh get rid of some of these lines here. And all I'm going to do is I'm going to use a tool called Fibonacci extension. And what we'll do is we will take a uh uh a very very long-term uh approach here. And so I kind of like to find extremes on the charts of when I use these extensions because these are it's much easier for me to say that oh the next level of support is 54 because every trader on


the planet has that white line that I just shown uh drawn on there. Right? So that's very easy. Going into the future is a lot more difficult and it's a tool that I like to use here on Trading View. It's called Fibonacci extension. I got this one from Christopher Muan. And basically all you do is you take the uh uh a big low and then you take the next big run up and you simply string it out. And you'll see that uh there's some very distinct uh lines that come in here. And I don't think it's a coincidence that


there's a lot of price action around where each of these lines hit. And so you can see that each one of these has kind of acted as a little bit of resistance or a little bit of support uh for each of these legs. We've just blown through this last one here. This would be the 200% retracement. It was around $54. And you could see, I don't think it's a coincidence. It took a while to get there. You know, that's where traders were taking profits. You know, they had the same white lines drawn on


our chart that they do on theirs. So, the next one up that I see is going to be the 2618. And that is going to be right around the $65 level. Uh maybe 6550, somewhere in that ballpark. I think that'll be uh if if the 50% one plays out and we move up to the next leg up, that's kind of where I see it. Some 64 65 bucks in that range. I think that'll be where people will start taking profits again. >> Okay. So, that can be a point that we can be looking out for. I also want to ask, I know you're focused really on the


charts and technical analysis and what that can tell you, but with this move in silver, we've been having all these discussions I think online about the ComX disruption that happened toward the end of not this past Friday, but the one before and I'm wondering if you have any thoughts on whether that's playing into the move in silver. Anything that's on your mind in that regard? >> Not really. I don't follow that as much. the the only way I really follow it is looking here at um uh the futures price


of silver uh one-mon contract out and then I'll look at the spot price of silver and then this is basically the futures price minus the spot price which essentially gives us a spread. Okay. And so this is kind of how you can visually represent that is if the spread is down here, then that means that people are paying more for spot silver for silver right now than they are paying for silver going into the future, which is kind of odd, right? Like silver should be more expensive in the future than it


is now. There should be more inflation. Uh there is cost of carry, meaning that like no one's holding this stuff for you for free. You know, you have to store it. There's uh storage issues. So, it should be up here most of the time. And most of the time, if you kind of zoom into this, it is. But there's these moments where you have this radical uh swing one way or the other. And I just put these lines here to kind of show that as time goes on, cuz this chart goes back into the 70s, right? As time


goes on, the swings have gotten bigger. Probably just because the price of silver has gone up with the more dollars that they print and with more inflation. But um that that's about the only way that I'll that I'll catch something like that. And usually what happens is when you have a swing back here in the backwardation, that's usually kind of when you're going on the next leg up. That's when it's telling you that there's a shortage somewhere. You know that for whatever reason, traders are


willing to pay more now for silver than they are for silver a month or two months or six months from now. >> Well, that's a really interesting angle to look at. So, thanks for going through that. And I think I have just one more question on silver, which is I'm wondering how how are we seeing the silver stocks responding to the move in silver that we've seen? I know typically we hear that eventually the the silver companies will outperform the price. So is that is that playing out at this


point or or what are we seeing? >> Oh man. Yeah, it's uh uh looking absolutely fantastic. Okay, so here's SILJ, right? Uh let me go to the daily here. Um, yeah. So, you know, we're probably like most of your listeners, we're just buying this stuff when no one cared and it was hated and we've recently been putting on some sell orders, but I I did something recently. Uh, I bought back in, right? So, it took a lot of profits. Silver kind of had a little correction and then we had that


breakout. And what was beautiful about this was silver went up to a new all-time high and you can see SIJ, the Junior Silver Miners ETF, did not, right? I think the miners are going to play a little catch-up here. And I'm not usually in the habit of buying up at the upper end of the charts. Like most of my buys are down here when the RSI is really low, you know, and uh I'm not in the habit of buying when the RSI is up here in the 60s. That's not something that I'm used to, but when I see it on a


chart like this, uh it's pretty compelling. And also right here uh we have uh what could be we'll see if it comes to fruition or not but this is called a cup and handle pattern. And so it comes up now it's not perfect okay but it comes up like this basically forms a cup and then we form out a handle and some of the stipulations here. You want this in an upward uh you want this in a bullish pattern. You know it's got to be in a rising price action. It forms out a general cup. This is not


ideal how it has that little kind of spike right up there. It would be much better if it was smoother. Um, but you know, no no pattern is perfect. Uh, and also what we want to make sure is we want to make sure that this pattern does not retrace further than the 50% Fibonacci retracement. So, we're well above that right now. Ideally, we want to see SIJ come down here to the $24.30 level and then bounce up and as soon as it clears this spot right here, we'll call that $26.70, that's when you buy. That's the breakout


of the cup and handle. Uh, I I was a little early on that. I guess I got a little trigger happy, but uh I I think this is going to do very well. I'm I'm not concerned that uh uh that we're going to have a breakdown here at all. The level you do not want to see this get past is $23.60. If it gets past that, this keen handle pattern is broken and all bets are off. But as long as we're above that, then we're fine. And you want to bet the breakout right there. >> All right. Well, glad I asked because I


think that gives us a good idea of your mindset there. All right. I think we've done a pretty good job covering silver. So, let's move over and take a look at what's happening with gold. About a month ago, at this point, we were both at the New Orleans Investment Conference, and it felt like a lot of the conversations at the time was that gold was maybe going to have a a longer or deeper correction after the big move up that it had in October or so. And we haven't really seemed to seen see that.


Gold is it's kind of continuing to move along. So, I'm wondering how you're looking at gold right now. Could we still get that pullback or how is gold setting up for 2026? >> Yeah, I think that uh the the pullback still could happen if I bring in some of my moving averages over here. Uh in the back of my mind, I'm what's the word? I guess a little cautious in that it could come back during most bull markets. It comes back and it touches somewhere around the 200 day moving average, which


is way down here. It's it's rising every day. Uh but today it's at uh uh 3500. Okay. Now, that level does line up very nicely with a lot of support back here when we were building that sideways action bull flag for a long time. 3500 lines up with a lot of price action support. On top of that, the 200 day moving average. Um in the back of my mind, I'm always thinking, okay, that's that's that's the low, right? That's the floor, I should say. I don't think it'll


go lower than that. So, that that would be my my extreme downside target, but every day that goes on makes me um more and more um confident that we're not going to hit that. We may come down and hit the 15 uh the 150 moving average, which would be around uh 3650 somewhere around there. I can put it in if you want. Uh but basically, what I'm seeing right now today is this looks like bullish consolidation to me. See? So, we came up right here, the the high of this bar. So, we went to alltime


highs. We'll just call it 404,400. It was $4 short of that. Uh came up then hit right here on this on November 13th. And the high there was 4,250. And then we came up right here and we closed Friday and broke it. Okay. So, we went just a couple bucks above that and we went to 4263. Right. So, $13 higher. Went up kind of sideways consolidation here. And what this is is it's just it's just buyers and sellers just taking profits. What we need to see a breakout here is we obviously have to break this


white line, which is the all-time high. Um, but this pattern that I'm seeing right here is it's not really a bull flag. See how this angle is is a little bit more than 90°. So, I think you kind of have to negate that for a bull flag. Uh, but it does look a bit like a pennant. Um, you know, if you got the pole here, it's kind of like that a little bit more of a triangle pattern. And these tend to kind of bounce between each other before it resolves one way or the other, usually kind of violently.


So, so I think in the next um I don't know, maybe few weeks or so, we're going to get a resolution of that. Um my my bets on the upside, though. I think that generally speaking here, we have a bit of a uh you know, kind of a longer term triangle right here. And um usually when the pattern forms up like this, see right below it, we've got the 20-day moving average for support. We got the 50-day moving average for support. My money's on up. I I I would not be shorting gold here. >> Okay. And I I think you answered my


question, which was going to be what do we need to see in order to know that the next gold breakout is coming? Another point I wanted to ask you when it comes to gold and silver. So we've seen we're seeing silver moving right now up and gold is kind of continuing along sideways. What is that price action telling us about where we are in the precious metal is bull market right now? Because you know typically you hear that gold moves first then silver comes along and it starts outperforming. So any any


thoughts on that? >> At least in the middling stages. Um you know we've had the move in gold. We've gone from you know the cup and handle breakout of 2100 and you know gone all the way north of 4,000. Uh, so now silver's playing catch-up. I don't I'm not really concerned that that we're like at the end yet. I think we have a long way to go. If you look back at past gold bull markets, uh, you know, the average is like an 8x. Uh, we're at a 4x right now from from its low of a,000 in


2015 to, you know, 4,000 now. Okay. Um, you know, I I think we still have some more time to go. Another thing, you know, um, uh, and we are starting to see precious metal sales in Costco and, you know, things like that, but there's not the real fervor. There's not the kiosks in the mall that I'm remembering, uh, at the last gold bull market where they're selling uh, gold in in kiosks in the mall. People aren't talking about it. You know what I mean? like you want to hear people talking about gold like they


were talking about Nvidia and Tesla and tech stocks a year ago. That's the time that I think we need to get out. Another one you could look at is you could look at this uh gold to silver ratio. So I think this will also be kind of telling and I drew right here. Uh so this is just gold divided by silver. Right now it's at 72. So that simply means that there's you can get trade 72 oz of gold for I'm sorry 72 ounces of silver for 1 oz of gold. And in the immediate term right here I see a little bit of a bull


flag pattern. So I think that silver is going to continue to outperform gold and all it is is is you know just the pattern that you saw and you just take the pole of the of the bare there's a bare flag I'm sorry pointing down and then you project it to where the breakout would be. So we could get down to a ratio of 62 to1 uh in pretty short order. Usually these these flag patterns resolve pretty violently. And what is pretty interesting is right here uh back in May of 2024. So a year and a half ago


we were at this ratio. So it's been a while since we've been down this low and silver has been outperforming gold to such a level. Um, but that yeah, I'm not looking to like be out of precious metals until we get to a ratio that is like 45 to1 will kind of be my my uh alarm bells should be going off in our heads like, hey, we need to really take some profits in this stuff. Maybe even contemplate selling some physical. Um, but uh but definitely pressing the sell button uh in the stock market for sure.


>> Yes. Yes. Good context there. And probably now is a good time to take a look over at the S&P. you mentioned there's there's some interesting things that you're seeing there. So, I'm hoping we can go over that as well. >> Yeah. So, this one looks like a uh kind of a topping pattern to me. And this price bar right here, uh a high of 6920. I'm every day that goes by, I'm becoming a little more confident that this will be the high in the stock market. Um, this this looks to me like we're just


kind of when you get into the futures and you look at the at the very microscopic parts of this, it's kind of like when news comes out, uh, the institutions will buy it up because they know that retail's coming in and then they dump it to retail as soon as it opens. So, this chart doesn't reflect that, but it looks to me like uh retail is the one that is buying and institutions are the ones that are selling. and we're just we haven't made a new all-time high yet. On the other


side of the coin, this is a relatively bullish chart. I mean, you have all the uh moving averages in sequential order, but when you kind of look behind the scenes at some of the tech stocks like like Nvidia, for example, okay, so they made an all-time high. Uh but this pattern that I'm seeing in Nvidia, which which makes up a lot of the S&P 500, maybe your viewers can already see this right now, but we're starting to form out what is looking like a bare flag. And if some of the tech stocks are


starting to go, I think that's going to bring the general market down with it. Um, so I would be cautious if I was betting on the S&P 500. >> Well, we'll definitely keep an eye on that. We'll check back in with you next time we talk and and see how that's looking. I want to also touch on copper with you today as well because I remember that was your pick for top performing asset of 2026. So definitely we should take a look and see how copper is setting up for next year.


Yeah, so far Copper's been doing fantastic. Uh, okay. So, this is on the coax. So, this is futures price in New York. And I'll just zoom out here longterm. This goes back to like 1980s. Um, and we can see, let me undo that. There we go. Okay. We can see that we're breaking out right here now. Um, kind of a a you know, pinser like uh uh pattern right here, meaning that just increased general volatility until it breaks out one way or the other. But what we're seeing right here is I'm kind of giving


this part right here a whole pass. This was when Trump uh came out with his tariffs and and he just kind of said in passing, "Oh yeah, we could put a 50% tariff on copper, no problem." And the futures market just went haywire for a couple of weeks and then we came back down. So, I think the way we should interpret this chart is not so much paying attention to this. And if he had not said that, this chart would basically look something like that and our moving averages wouldn't have gotten


all over the place. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think we're at all-time highs here in copper. I'm not counting this anomaly right here. I'm giving it a whole pass. And uh I I I think we need to look at this as copper is breaking out to new all-time highs. We can look over here in London. Now, this one's a little bit different. It prices it in American dollars, but uh they they charge it by the tons, so you got to divide by uh 2,200. But you can see here that this is the same thing.


This is this is going all the way back to 2011. Boom, boom, boom. New alltime high. Undeatable breakout right here. And it doesn't seem like anyone cares, you know. So, I think uh u you know, if you haven't been in copper yet, I think you should definitely get it now. As a commodities uh investor, you kind of have to have wear two hats. You got to be this guy right here, right? That is buying down here when no one cares and when it's hated, right? And then you also got to be this guy right here


that's like, "Oh, hey, we were right." You know, breakout central. And you got to be willing to press the buy button up there. There's kind of two skill sets that are almost contrasting with each other. You know what I mean? You got to buy it when no one cares, but then you also got to be willing to take that leap and buy into copper equities uh when when when it's breaking out to new all-time highs. And I think that's where we're at right now with copper. The one caveat is that everyone's been talking


about for like the last 3 years is the recession. And copper always gets hit with the recession. I don't know that we're going to see that now. I mean, central banks around the world are cutting rates. They're probably going to print print into oblivion. Uh maybe we maybe they can kick the can down the road and we don't see a recession for another like few years. I don't know. Um, so some of the big copper mines are are having troubles. Like our supply has has gotten uh coming out of the ground has


gotten lower over the last several months, especially with the Grassburg mine. I mean, who knows where that's going to go. Um, we may not have a pullback this one. I I I don't know. And and I think, you know, this is kind of one of those moments where if you find yourself now and you're like, I don't have any copper in my portfolio. I don't think it would be a mistake to take, let's say you you you have a $100,000 portfolio and you want to bet 10 grand on copper. I do not think it would be a


mistake to to place one or $2,000 worth of of of that 10,000 like now. I I really don't. And this is an easy way to do it. COPX, this is just a an ETF of copper miners. I think just about anyone can get this one. Again, I think I think you covered the question I was going to ask you because it is that that recession cloud that seems to keep hanging over copper. So, good to to get your thoughts on that as well. And I want to make sure we take at least a brief look over at what's happening in


uranium. It seems it's a favorite of our audience for sure. It seems to be in this holding pattern. And I wonder if you see any any change coming to this sector as we're we're heading into the new year. >> Okay, here's the spot uranium chart. you know, very very low volume. Um, the only thing I really see on this chart and and what we got to go by here, let me get rid of this and make it a little easier to read. I'll make it a line chart so everyone can see it better. Uh, but


basically what we've got here is we've kind of got a triple bottom. And so that's where you get the price right there. And two, third times a charm. I think we're I think we're about to go up. So, I think I think uranium equities over the next couple of weeks are probably going to uh uh to go higher. And some of the the common ones here u that I think most people bet on. This is SRUF. This is just buying physical uranium on the stock market. I like a buy on this one. I want to catch this


rising 200 day moving average, right? And I I think we're about to get, you know, maybe a little sell-off here in the uranium equities. So, I like this one kind of around $17.25. 25 like you know set a limit order and then be happy when it fills and I think over the next year or so the spot price of uranium is probably going to go from you know $76 up to maybe 90 or so and you can play that here. If you want a little more leverage you could do that here on URM. So this is just the the ETF that has


Kamico Kazatam promot uranium trust in it and then a whole bunch of juniors right and this one is amazing. I mean been really profitable. If we just go back over here, you can see these bull runs like this this one right here from uh uh 20 uh 21, you know, just just a few months within that one went up over 100%. And then this one over here, it was just boring for, you know, several years and then had over 100% move. And then recently, we've had a 145% move when it just got stupid cheap down here.


This was on Liberation Day, uh you know, when Trump held up his chalkboard with all the tariffs. baby throw it out with a bathwater. Click the buy button, trim on the way up, and now we're starting to do it again. Right? So, uranium is one of these ones that I just love to trade. Uh I love to be in and out of it. And I think it can be highly profitable. You know, if you just pick your spots and and and and it's not it's not magic. The only reason we knew to buy right here was because there was past price action


right there. And see how there's price action right there. and and and if you run back over, there's a lot of price action around that $50 level. So, all that means is that a whole bunch of traders have limit orders there. So, just jump on the train and and do the same thing and put a limit order there for 50 bucks. And when it crosses that line, it's very likely to bounce from there. And you know what? If it doesn't, you have a fundamental understanding of this to where you're excited that it


goes lower. And now you're hoping it hits the 200 day moving average. And see the next one down there, the next limit order, 44 bucks. Lot of price action along $44. So that's where everyone's got their limit order set. So jump on the train, do the same thing. It kind of becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, you know, and uh yeah, as it gets cheaper, buy more, run the rip up, and then sell. >> I like how you explain it. It does it does look very clear when you lay it out that way. So, while we're on the energy


side, I want to take a look over at oil and natural gas as well. I think for oil, last time we were talking, that was in the more the more hated category that people maybe should be taking a look at. So, any any further thoughts you'd share on oil and natural gas? >> Okay, here's um long term, uh oil's just been in a downtrend, right? uh we had a level of around 65 bucks that you know forever we're wondering is that ever going to be broken. It was now we kind of have this floor of around $55


and um according to Duneberg he says that that's kind of what they calculate as their equilibrium price of oil. So maybe fundamentally that's kind of where it should be. Um looks to me like it's going lower. Uh we've we've got all the moving averages in the wrong order for a bullish chart. We've got the 20-day, then the 50, then the 200 stacked on top of each other. So, there's a lot of resistance that it's got to break through in order to start a bullish trend. So, one of the easiest ways I


think to bet on oil here is this ETF XLE, right? I mean, you can get into the weeds and, you know, um uh you can bet on individual companies if you want, but a real quick, easy way to do it is this ETF. And I just put something out in my newsletter about this. So this 10% 20% 30% and 40% if I had no position in oil and I wanted to establish a position because I'm very bullish on oil over the next 5 years but I'm kind of bearish on it over the next uh you know few months and I think it's very likely that we


could get down and hit some of these levels. So let's say you wanted to bet 100 grand on oil. I would do $10,000 right here on this XLE ETF when it hits 4462 and then I would do another 20%. I would bet 20 grand when it hits 40 4350 and then I would bet another 30 grand when it hits 4250 and then I would bet my final position, my final 40 grand when it gets down here to 4075. And all that is is that's just going back to price action back here. You'll see that a lot of these line up with moving averages,


right? and you're just trying to catch those levels that everyone has their uh their limit orders set at when the sector does reverse and you know I think you need a a 5-year time frame on this thing on this thing. Uh but when it reverses you get in the black very quick and um yeah so I I I'm very bullish on oil. Uh although in the short term I think we're going to see a pullback and the chart is showing exactly that. >> Well very very actionable there. So, thank you for sharing that. And as we're


as we're getting toward the end here, I already asked you my fun question about top performing asset of 2026, but I have another fun question, which is best advice for investors looking forward to the new year. >> Best advice for new investors looking forward to the new year. Um, h >> doesn't have to be new investors, could be just investors. >> Just investors in general, I would say. um probably don't trade on emotion. I would I would say uh look at um uh look at the fundamental case for whatever it


is that you're betting on, you know. Um uh look at the fundamental case, understand the fundamental case and uh then execute on the technicals, right? So the fundamentals kind of tell you what to buy and then the technicals tell you when to buy and when to sell it, right? So, for example, with gold, all right, write down your thesis and write down your thesis on uh maybe make this as a New Year's resolution like, okay, I'm going to write down my thesis for every commodity that I'm invested in and


for every company that I'm invested in. And so, by doing that, what you do is you have a fundamental understanding of the bet that you're placing. And then by writing down your thesis for each company, you have a fundamental uh um uh thesis as to you know why you own it and most importantly um what are you like what are some indicators what are some things that could happen that would cause you to sell it. Okay. So for gold for example uh I'm invested in gold because governments can't help


themselves and they continue to print more currency. um you know there is more debt in the system than there is currency to pay it back. As long as that is the case, I will be an investor in gold, right? Uh I will not become an investor in gold as soon as governments start balancing their budget. Um you know, I will uh as soon as I can trade so many ounces of gold for one three-bedroom, two-b house, then I will make that trade. Uh you know, have a thesis for each one of these commodities or or sectors that you're invested in.


and also have a um you know a thesis uh for each company that you're invested in and most importantly what would be the triggers for when you sell. >> I think that's a a great exercise for people to do if if they haven't already. So thank you for sharing that and before I let you go any final thoughts usually we we also mention your technical analysis course. We will have the link in the video description for anyone who wants to take a look at that but yes any any final thoughts you would share? Um


yeah the technical analysis series uh basically what we do is we take the fear out of buying and selling. So you know like I said the fundamentals tell you what to buy and what to sell and then the technicals the charts they tell you when to do that. So I created my technical analysis series to give everyday do-it-yourself investors the same playbook that I use in my own portfolio. It's very simple approach for reading charts, trend lines, moving averages, Fibonacci, volume and price action. So you get real examples and a


system that you can apply immediately. It's a video series. The first 30 minutes are just showing you mouse click by mouse click how to set up your charts exactly like you saw here or tailored to whatever you want. So the next 2 and 1/2 hours after that are going over indicators and patterns that let you know if it's a good time to buy, a good time to sell, or most of the time it's a good time to do nothing to just wait, right? And uh if you want to sharpen your edge and navigate volatility and uh


especially in commodities markets then um you can do so with confidence and this this series gives you the tools to do that. So thank you for sharing that Charlotte. I appreciate it. >> Of course.
