But lately, economists and analysts have been looking at much more unconventional signals.

Gold is very volatile. It's going to give you an entry point that's going to be better than buying it at the highs. But I think that that the fact that gold is rallying really makes a lot of sense.I mean, if I at the beginning of the year were to write you a script for what could make gold go higher, it would be a weaker dollar, general geopolitical instability, confusion over US trade, and general domestic policy, which is making people sort of shun traditional investments and go and it's not just gold, ri ...

In April, we were adding to Tesla.It wasn't easy to do, but if you believe that the technology is real, and we believe it is, then you use uh volatility as your friend as a long-term investor.
