If you come across a rattlesnake in the woods, don’t pick it up. Sounds obvious, right? But many traders fail to understand how that principle applies to their “buys” and “sells.” So says John Carter – founder of Simpler Trading, long-time market educator, and author of Mastering the Trade – in this week’s MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast.

Gold continues to be the big story in markets. The metal rose again to a fresh record just over $2,800 an ounce before pulling back. Treasuries sold off after hotter-than-expected ADP jobs data, but modestly weaker-than-expected Q3 GDP data kept the selling from getting too aggressive. Equities were mixed recently, while crude oil was up.

Mike Larson is on vacation. His Chart of the Week column will resume Monday, Nov. 4.

Executive editor of Gold Newsletter Brien Lundin and editor of Gold Charts R Us Omar Ayales discuss the current "golden era" in precious metals and investment opportunities. Lundin highlights central bank buying, de-dollarization efforts, and potential U.S. investor participation as gold prices rise. He predicts silver outperforming gold and recommends junior mining stocks. Ayales focuses on the shift to an inflationary environment, global fragmentation, and increased gold holdings as a reserve asset. Both experts note the lack of U.S. investor participation as a bullish sign and provide price targets for precious metals.
