Loading ...I run a contest with myself..I have two accounts an IRA which I trade ,and the 1st qtr I beat the reg account by a mile.
Now in the 2nd qtr the performance of reg account which is mostly two Gold Funds Tocqueville & Gabelli are beating my 2nd QTR by a mile ,
mostly because of timing.I will trade the IRA aggressivly soon ..mid MAY and by year end I will tie or beat the Fund performance which is mostly buy & HOLD…Since the IRA trades tax free I mostly beat the Funds,however If I only had one Taxable account TAXES would be a big deal and a trade killer .
Theres no difference between losing 30% of your money and paying a 30% TAX on it.So after MAY I wont trade much at all as I expect the bull market in Gold to last until Aug 2017.If as I expect the biggest gains to come will be near the end along with the biggest risk..I hope I dont over stay sine its better to sell too soon ,than too late.! The bigger Caps will peak & hold before the end but the explorations and pennie stocks will be spectacular at the end !
