A Second Profit Window Is About to Open for Gold

Sell in May and go away…

That’s one of Wall Street’s favorite adages.

According to the saying, investors should sell their stocks when the calendar turns to May… then buy them back in November—when the market performs better.

The adage doesn’t hold true every year. But on average, it works. You can see the results in the chart below.

The chart shows the average gains of the S&P 500 each month over the past 20 years.

As you can see, the market has generally stagnated from May to October. But it’s performed much better from November to April.

“Is this the future of stock picking?!?” That’s what one of our staffers said when he first saw our new “K Sign” indicator… You see, we’ve developed this incredible breakthrough in extreme secrecy. But since we’re releasing it publicly, starting right now… We had to inform our staff about it last week. And their shocked reactions have shown us just how much of a game changer it’s going to be. See for yourself right here.

I’m not telling you to go out and trade based on this chart. I just wanted to show how the adage “Sell in May and go away” got started.

This kind of research is called seasonality analysis.

Other assets also follow seasonal patterns.

For example, the price of heating oil frequently ramps up in the summer in anticipation of a cold winter. And grains often are most expensive during the planting season.

There’s another important asset that follows a seasonal pattern. But few people know about it. That’s why you turn to us at the Daily.

Twice a year, a window opens when you can buy this asset on the cheap and sell for a profit: January through February and July through August.

That asset is gold. And since we’re in July, now is a good time to start buying some.

Here’s why…

Will This Eerie 9/11 Warning Haunt You Too? I almost can’t believe this… but our intelligence sources confirm this story is 100% authentic. Two months before the World Trade Center was viciously attacked, a shocking report was issued. It forecast 9/11 in terrifying detail. Now, the author of this report… a multimillionaire businessman and high-level government insider… has come forward with another bombshell. America is now Ground Zero.

Now Is a Good Time to Buy Gold

Over the past 20 years, gold has gained about 4.5% during each of the two windows.

Sure, 4.5% does not seem like much. But if you annualized those gains, you’d get a 30% return. Now we’re talking real money.

Below is a seasonal chart for gold.

As you can see, there are two distinct times of the year when it’s advantageous to own gold.

January through February is the first window. And July through August is the second window.

No one is quite sure why gold goes up in the summer (or during the winter, for that matter).

Maybe it’s investors protecting themselves from potential market volatility, which is common in September and October.

Or maybe jewelers are buying up gold ahead of the holiday season.

Who knows?

In the end, here’s what matters: The gold-buying pattern happens consistently. And that’s all you should care about.

Some traders make a living following seasonality trends like this. That’s all they do… Make the trade when the calendar says they should.

So if you’re thinking about buying some gold, the calendar says now is a good time.

The easiest way to get gold in your brokerage account is to buy the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD).

Need to Pay School Tuition? Try Bitcoin: Two private preschools in New York City now accept bitcoin for tuition payments. Montessori Schools has two locations in Manhattan. Cofounder Marco Ciocco says the schools began accepting bitcoin and two other cryptocurrencies for tuition payments in June. According to the schools’ websites, tuition can run as high as $30,950 per year. That’s about 12.3 bitcoins. We’ve been bullish on bitcoin… but even this news came as a surprise to us.

And the Beat Goes On: Meanwhile, the crypto market remains red-hot… Word comes that Pantera Capital is launching a new hedge fund that will focus solely on crypto-tokens. The fund plans to raise $100 million to participate in initial coin offerings (ICOs). These ICOs are the blockchain equivalent of initial public offerings (IPOs) held by private companies. The ICO market is around $600 million. So the new fund would expand the cap by more than 16%. As one crypto executive said, “In the long term, we’re at the very beginning” of the crypto market. We couldn’t agree more…

Pension Problems Persist: Add “Big Brown” to the list of troubled pension plans… Shipping giant United Parcel Service (UPS) says it will freeze a pension plan for about 70,000 nonunion U.S. employees because of escalating costs and volatility in determining future payments. Per Bloomberg, UPS will replace the plan with a different retirement benefit. UPS joins companies such as DuPont and Lockheed Martin in freezing pension plans. That means some or all participants may stop accumulating benefits. If you’re worried about your pension plan, here are three things you should consider…

Below is recent satellite footage of Mar-a-Lago, a residence of President Trump.

Look closely…

Seventeen miles south of Mar-a-Lago, in a small beach town most folks have never heard of… an unusual operation is headquartered.

Reportedly, its founder (a multimillionaire businessman and self-proclaimed anarchist) has done more to “drain the swamp” than any official in President Trump’s cabinet.

And thanks to his shocking new broadcast, it’s now indisputable…
