GLD
📈 Gold, easily accessible via ETFs like GLD, is recommended by Ray Dalio (10-15% portfolio allocation) as a hedge against inflation and geopolitical risks.
🛡️ Unlike bonds (like TLT), gold has provided real protection recently, appreciating significantly (79% over a period) while long-term bonds lost value.
🏦 Central banks are increasing gold purchases significantly, viewing it as a safer asset than fiat currencies like the dollar, further boosting demand and price.
@Artedeinvertir:
“Ray Dalio always recommends that all investors have between 10% and 15% of their portfolio in investments related to gold. Currently, it is very easy to invest in gold through ETFs; for example, the most famous in the world is the GLD that trades in the United States, or even in gold mining companies, given that the current situation even benefits them because gold does not stop rising in value, reasons for which we will comment next. And also, the cost of extracting that gold has decreased because oil and energy costs, which are their main cost, have drastically descended, which gives them the ideal economic scenario. For Ray Dalio, gold is the purest form of money, since no government can control it, and unlike the euro or the dollar, it cannot be printed out of thin air and constantly devalued. Geopolitical tensions are increasing the demand for gold, which is why this metal does not stop rising and already trades at more than $3,100. In fact, it has provided real protection; if you see the following graph, it has had better performance than bonds. Gold has revalued in this period by 79%, while long-term US bonds, which were considered very safe, have lost 48% of their value.”
