Gold and Silver weighing heavy today on my account. Im In the green but significant underperformance.

I trimmed back a couple weeks ago but looks like I should have trimmed back more.
Good macro news = gold and silver go down (at least for the short-term).

FYI - Not joking. My Fidelity rollover IRA is glitching and it shows my DODGX position is now 20x it should be. LOL! Should I try to sell $2m worth of "new" shares and pocket the cash? :)

Update = Glitch is still there (Fidelity is trying to give me an extra 6000 shares):

Just checked my TRP account, which also holds DODGX. Same distribution glitch, so it seems like a macro issue with Dodge & Cox. Otherwise:




UPDATE = Bummer. Looks like just a weird share split going on. Oh well, back to work. :)

GRNY up 23% since inception. Trailing the Nasdaq by 300 basis points. But way up on the S&P which is up 14% over the same time period.
Based on Morningstar, GRNY is kicking butt. Since inception (love the new image functionality!)

Difference must be the frequency. E-Trade only offers monthly, I see yours is a daily.

Edit: yeah frequency. If I put the E-Trade chart on the "one year" as opposed to "max" I can then adjust to daily and then GRNY is up 29%.

The Morningstar chart is the best ($10k investment tracker). It's part of the free features of the website. It accounts for distributions and dividends, so it is a true reflection of total return (vs. just tracking price, which can be misleading).

Gold below $4k. Just bounced slightly at $3930.

Thoughts on support levels below $4k?

PANW at $220. I think safely past the breakout level of $200.

If there were a pullback im thinking $200 is now support.

Feels like a good time to start buying for the long-term, but a lot of positive macro news right now which is a headwind for GLD. Lots of folks are saying another week or two of short-term weakness.

FYI - some fresh ideas. Based on the Q3 disclosure for PRWCX/TRAIX (fund manager David Giroux):

AAPL = not new, but huge increase in the position
SBUX = brand new
CMG = brand new
WTW = brand new
COR = not new, but 4x'ed the position
BNTX = brand new

I would assume so
About BSOL:

The Bitwise Solana Staking ETF, which will offer in-kind creation and redemption, gives investors exposure not only to SOL’s potential price appreciation but also to staking rewards. In blockchain networks like Solana, staking refers to the process of helping to secure the network and validate transactions; in return, participants earn rewards, similar to earning interest.

Serious question = Buy SOL via Fidelity Crypto or BSOL in my tax-deferred rollover IRA! With staking rewards, I assume the IRA is the best option.

The RUT pretty much flat this morning. Trailing the majors.

Still trying to get lift off past those ATH's set in 2021.

Since we can't stake in NJ I see multiple positives in favor of the latter.

GOLD after spending most of yesterday below $4K is now back above that level.

Could see it hanging around here for awhile.

Bsol sounds like the way to go. I forgot staking is still a grey area in NJ as 05 mentioned. Greyscale has a similar product live now too, Gsol

More good news…
