(NASDAQ:STNE) Price Target at $16.13December 22 at 2:36 AM | americanbankingnews.comStoneCo Enters Oversold Territory (STNE)December 20 at 10:27 PM | nasdaq.comWhy I'm telling friends to avoid gold stocksBack in November, gold made a tiny move of 1.6%. 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."December 22, 2024 | DTI (Ad)Expert Outlook: StoneCo Through The Eyes Of 4 AnalystsDecember 17, 2024 | benzinga.comStoneCo (NASDAQ:STNE) Hits New 1-Year Low After Analyst DowngradeDecember 17, 2024 | americanbankingnews.comStoneCo Ltd DRC (STNEm)December 14, 2024 | investing.comStoneCo's Elevated Take-Rate Yields Massive BuybackNovember 30, 2024 | seekingalpha.comStoneCo Ltd.
