But according to my backtesting by using a special type of gold trade, I would have seen a 141% gain in just a week. It happened again in March. Gold nudged up 1.2%. This time? A 104% overnight gain. And in June? A 1% gold move turned into a 74% gain in two weeks. Granted, there would have been smaller wins and those that did not work out, but you see, there's a reason I'm telling all my friends to hold off from buying gold or regular gold stocks right now. There's a more lucrative way to play the gold market as we enter a new breakout period. It's all about catching what I call "Acceleration Cycles."And if you’d like to get your hands on this, here you go, the complete breakdown. 3/31/2023174,000 shares $4.36 million -2.3%1.2%7.6 $25.05 3/15/2023178,000 shares $4.83 million -7.1%1.3%7.6 $27.11 2/28/2023191,600 shares $5.98 million +6.3%1.4%7.3 $31.22 2/15/2023180,300 shares $5.77 million +1.8%1.3%7 $32.01 1/31/2023177,100 shares $5.76 million -1.9%1.3%6.4 $32.51 1/15/2023180,600 shares $6.14 million -7.4%1.3%6.4 $33.98 12/30/2022195,000 shares $6.61 million -15.2%1.4%6.8 $33.90 12/15/2022230,000 shares $7.88 million +15.9%1.6%7.8 $34.25 11/30/2022198,500 shares $7.33 million -8.2%1.4%7.3 $36.95 11/15/2022216,300 shares $8.35 million -11.1%1.5%8.1 $38.61 10/31/2022243,400 shares $9.06 million -14.6%1.7%9.5 $37.24 10/15/2022285,100 shares $9.75 million +0.9%2.0%11 $34.20 9/30/2022282,500 shares $9.05 million -0.5%2.0%10.7 $32.03 9/15/2022284,000 shares $9.09 million +8.7%2.0%10.3 $32.01 8/31/2022261,300 shares $8.24 million -2.7%1.8%8.9 $31.53 8/15/2022268,500 shares $8.96 million +1.8%1.9%8.7 $33.37 7/31/2022263,700 shares $8.46 million +0.3%1.9%8 $32.08 7/15/2022263,000 shares $7.85 million +9.5%1.9%7.6 $29.84 6/30/2022240,100 shares $7.06 million -11.5%1.7%7.2 $29.41 6/15/2022271,200 shares $7.67 million +12.5%2.0%8.1 $28.29 5/31/2022241,000 shares $6.94 million +12.1%1.6%8.5 $28.80 5/15/2022215,000 shares $5.81 million +8.7%1.5%7.6 $27.03 4/30/2022197,800 shares $5.27 million +3.8%1.3%7.7 $26.63 4/15/2022190,500 shares $5.19 million -2.9%1.3%7.4 $27.22 3/31/2022196,200 shares $5.53 million -5.9%1.3%7.9 $28.21 3/15/2022208,400 shares $5.93 million +13.5%1.4%8.2 $28.44 2/28/2022183,600 shares $5.38 million -3.4%1.2%6.7 $29.33 2/15/2022190,100 shares $5.66 million +16.5%1.3%6.3 $29.77 1/31/2022163,200 shares $5.09 million +15.1%1.1%5.1 $31.21 1/15/2022141,800 shares $4.95 million -7.7%1.0%4.4 $34.89 12/31/2021153,700 shares $5.14 million -21.9%1.0%4.8 $33.42 12/15/2021196,700 shares $6.55 million +4.8%1.3%5.8 $33.30 11/30/2021187,700 shares $6.14 million +5.0%1.3%5.4 $32.70 11/15/2021178,700 shares $6.20 million +4.2%1.2%5.4 $34.69 10/29/2021171,500 shares $5.56 million -13.2%1.1%5.6 $32.42 10/15/2021197,600 shares $6.43 million +35.8%1.3%6.5 $32.55 9/30/2021145,500 shares $4.62 million -5.2%1.0%4.8 $31.72 9/15/2021153,500 shares $4.52 million +1.5%1.0%4.8 $29.43 8/31/2021151,300 shares $4.73 million +8.9%1.0%5.1 $31.24 8/13/2021139,000 shares $4.44 million +1.9%0.9%4.5 $31.93 7/30/2021136,400 shares $3.98 million -11.1%0.9%4.2 $29.20 7/15/2021153,400 shares $4.51 million -2.3%1.0%4.6 $29.39 6/30/2021157,000 shares $4.69 million -7.6%1.0%4.6 $29.85 6/15/2021169,900 shares $5.23 million -6.6%1.1%4.7 $30.78 5/28/2021181,800 shares $5.66 million +21.3%1.2%4.5 $31.16 5/14/2021149,900 shares $4.71 million +15.7%1.0%3.4 $31.42 4/30/2021129,600 shares $3.77 million -13.6%0.8%2.9 $29.10 4/15/2021150,000 shares $4.40 million -2.9%1.0%3.2 $29.30 3/31/2021154,400 shares $4.59 million -0.8%1.0%3.3 $29.74 3/15/2021155,600 shares $4.70 million -1.8%1.1%3.5 $30.21Why I'm telling friends to avoid gold stocks (Ad)Back in November, gold made a tiny move of 1.6%.
