Gold blasted through $3,000 an ounce for the first time ever yesterday, then added a few more bucks in early trading today. Meanwhile, stocks are trying to rebound after yet another plunge Thursday. Crude oil is up a bit, while Treasuries and the dollar are modestly lower.
There’s something very curious going on in gold — and it says something about where the yellow metal might be headed. An easy way to play the coming move is through the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD), writes Sean Brodrick, editor at Weiss Ratings Daily.

Gold has been very resilient over the last several weeks. The current range has a much narrower amplitude than those posted over the last year. There are two ways of thinking about it, observes Eoin Treacy, editor of Fuller Treacy Money.
Gold has been one of my favorite plays for some time. I’ve called the yellow metal a great “Be Bold” investment at multiple MoneyShows and in columns in your newsletters. And it has worked out great. The SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) has surged 10% year-to-date...and 43% in the last year!
Gold is over $2,900 an ounce and headed for $3,000, largely due to global uncertainty and strong central bank purchases by China and other countries. The SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) is ahead nearly 11% in six weeks. I also like Kinross Gold Corp. (KGC), writes Mark Skousen, editor of Forecasts & Strategies.
I was recently scanning the market and came across a great-looking stock chart: Meta Platforms Inc. (META). Since META’s 1-month price was trading above the 10-month SMA, signaling a PowerTrend “Buy,” this was offering an attractive trading setup in the options market, observes Chuck Hughes, co-founder of Hughes Optioneering.

That’s shifting the investment outlook, supporting a commodity supercycle that will likely be led by precious and industrial metals. Buy the Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV), says Omar Ayales, editor of Gold Charts R Us.
Gold’s historic setup is poised to be one of the most profitable events in a generation. One junior miner that I like here is Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (ASM). It has a silver operation with high potential in Mexico, advises Omar Ayales, editor of Gold Charts R Us.
