Simple Gold Strategy

Simple Gold Strategy

The approach is really straightforward and is built on two principles:

1. The market constantly rises with time.
2. Precious metals (specifically gold) tend to display a seasonal up-trend during December-February, and around August The trading strategy is as follows:

Hold GLD (SPDR Gold Trust ETF) from December 20 of every year through February 20 of the following year, and during August.

1. The rest of the time hold SPLV (Invesco S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF)
2. This strategy is not optimized and simply involves buying Gold during its seasonal up-trend and a low volatility “market” ETF the rest of the time​​.
