...if this is the multiyear huge bull market for Gold, why would we need to worry about a couple of hundred bucks?
...Physical Gold is the Buy and Hold; in Aug last year when I went on hols, I suggested to my friends to buy into Gold (it was about $2,500 then) to which I received remarks like 'hasn't Gold gone up way too much?' -in that short period of time till today, it had gained another 40% to hit a $3,500 high.
...we are likely to see a parabolic rise at the end of this year or in 2026. The point is even if it is an incorrect prognosis, one should be comfortable holding Gold rather than a gold stock. Because only Gold stays the course to be much higher long term. If you buy a Gold stock, you could have your stock taken over in an opportunistic takeover, below the value you could have gained more significantly when Gold reaches further heights.
