Several of my favorite gold companies closed down recently.
Now, if you’re new to the gold market… you’re forgiven for thinking, “Oh no! Gold stocks are crashing. Maybe it’s time to sell.”
Presumably, that is why you read my updates – because you want an insider’s take on what’s happening… what you should buy… and when it might be time to sell.
So let me tell you why gold still has a loooong way to run – and why the hardest part of the coming gold mania will be holding on long enough to maximize your gains…
First, gold stocks like the ones I recommend in my GPIV are “thinly traded.”
That means there is not a lot of trading volume. It’s easy for one big order to really swing the price.
In today’s investing environment, a lot of trading is simply done by computers based on algorithms.
So thinly traded gold stocks like my top four are bound to have some wild swings. This is TOTALLY NORMAL.
You should expect it. If you are reading my posts regularly, you should be inoculated against overreacting.
Instead, you should take comfort and find patience in the simple fundamentals of this situation:
The main driver behind gold’s relentless rise in price is Central Bank buying. So far, retail interest is essentially non-existent.
That means you have an opportunity to potentially make a fortune by “front-running” other investors simply by getting in now on the best gold stocks. Go here for details on my top four picks.
Central Banks are buying out of fear.
No government wants to be holding fiat paper when the world’s trade and monetary systems get reset.
The other reason Central Banks buy and hoard gold is in response to geopolitical tension.
Right now, there is precious little good news about peace in either the Ukraine or the Middle East.
If hostilities escalate… if there is a major attack somewhere… if something goes wildly off the rails in any theatre of current or potential conflict…
Gold’s rise in price will accelerate.
And I haven’t even addressed the effects of Trump’s tariffs. Trump understands the US is in serious financial trouble.
He knows the US is spending entirely too much money. Team DOGE has made some progress. But it’s not nearly enough to turn the ship around.
The US is still set to spend about $2 trillion more than it takes in in taxes in 2025. Plus, there is more than $9 trillion in old debt that has to be rolled over and refinanced.
And that’s just this year!
All scenarios lead to a lot more money being conjured out of thin air. Which means the gold-to-dollar ratio is going to continue to favor holding gold over dollars.
The last point I want to make is this:
Gold stocks are volatile. The companies I’m recommending have market caps in the hundreds of millions – not trillions like the high-flying Mag-7.
That means prices fluctuate more easily. Even small amounts of buying or selling show up as a major price change.
When you see these violent-looking price-swings, do not panic.
Nothing has changed. Nothing is fundamentally different from one day to the next.
The structural problems in the world’s financial and monetary systems are massive – and they are not going to disappear because of a tariff spat.
That’s why gold is on its next historic run. Gold is telling you there is a sea change taking place.
It had to come. Now it’s here.
Don’t lose your nerve. Hold onto the best gold stocks and you stand to make a potential fortune in the next several years.
And if you haven’t yet taken a position… pardon me for asking, but what are you waiting for?
Go here and I’ll give you details on my top four picks for the coming gold bull market mania.
These are the four best small companies with the biggest upside potential in the market today.
You don’t need to invest a lot to potentially make life-changing money. But you do need the nerve to stomach what’s happening.
Because if history is any guide, the next decade is going to be one for the record books for gold and the best gold companies.

P.S. You know how far the gold price dropped to produce the pullback I screenshotted for you above? Eight bucks – a .2% pullback!
When I say gold stocks are volatile, that’s what I mean. A .2% pullback can drive one big investor to sell – temporarily resulting in a huge 12% drop in even the best gold companies. This is called a buying opportunity.
This is also the kind of guidance I give to members of my GPIV newsletter. Go here to become one and to get my best advice for the coming bull mania.
