Commodities vs. Stocks: The Anchor Matters Last week’s gold and $SILVER washout was a reminder: commodities move on sentiment, not earnings. Without a balance sheet or guidance to lean on, they can erase months of gains in days. This is why consistency beats emotional reactions. If your strategy only works when charts move up, it’s wishful thinking, not a strategy. The Case for Stocks With stocks, you own a business. When prices dip, you can check the fundamentals: Did the business break, or did sentiment just shift? • $IAG.US (Iamgold Corp): Up 243% over the last year. • $GFI.US (Gold Fields Ltd-ADR): Up 115% in just six months. A bad week doesn't erase a strong thesis. It’s just noise over a much bigger picture. The Bottom Line Time in the market beats timing the market. Volatility is the "cost of admission" for real returns. Commodities have their place, but stocks reward patience because they are anchored in value, not just positioning. Washouts are inevitable. The choice is yours: see them as a threat, or as a temporary pause in a much longer journey. I know which one I prefer.
