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.1/9/2024quarterly$0.52 - 3%2/5/20242/6/20243/14/202410/10/2023quarterly$0.52 - 3.35%11/8/202311/9/202312/14/20237/11/2023quarterly$0.52 - 3.51%8/7/20238/8/20239/14/20234/25/2023quarterly$0.52+$0.024.00%3.51%5/8/20235/9/20236/14/20231/10/2023quarterly$0.50 - 2.79%2/6/20232/7/20233/14/2023This table shows MetLife's quarterlydividend history, including payout amounts, yield, dividend changes, and key dates.
