What is Your Biggest Investing Fear?
What is your biggest fear when it comes to investing?
Most investors might say they fear a massive stock-market crash.
But in the real world, the much bigger risk to retirement plans and portfolios is the slow, silent killer of investment returns: inflation.
So, why are so many investors and analysts afraid of the recent drop in silver and gold?
Silver saw the steepest single day downturn in six months, declining more than 6% from its recent record high above $54 per ounce. How spooky!
Like most fears, when you turn the light on... it's actually quite silly.
And any reactionaries should feel sheepish in the coming weeks.
First, this drop was easily anticipated.
No investment can rally forever.
Silver and gold have been on a massive tear for months, and a correction and consolidation was expected, warranted, and necessary in order for these assets to continue their bull market run.
Second, gold and silver dipped, then recovered, and are down again, but they haven't continued to plummet.
This was just a jump scare.
More importantly, these key fundamentals are still in place:
- Silver's gains YTD remain substantial (58%)!
- Industrial demand remains strong (up 4% in 2024, reaching a new record high for the 4th consecutive year)
- Supply deficits are worsening (187.6 million oz. forecast for 2025, growing for the 5th consecutive year)
- Geopolitical chaos is encouraging safe-haven bullion buying, and we don't see that ending any time soon...
If you allow the boogeyman of a temporary correction to scare you this badly, you shouldn't be investing in silver.
After all, the long-term outlook of silver as an asset for wealth protection remains unchanged.
And the bull market in precious metals has a long way to run.
Maintaining perspective amid periodic corrections is essential. The only thing you should be afraid of is missing out.
