Five Step Plan For A Market Correction
- Reduce exposure to high-risk equities and raise cash during early warning signs of a correction.
- Victor Dergunov executed a five-step plan: reduce risk, raise cash (to ~20%), rotate, hedge, and short to protect gains.
Gold Miners Become Attractive After Deep Pullbacks
- Gold and miners look attractive after large pullbacks because many high-quality miners traded at very low valuations before the rally.
- Victor highlighted Barrick, Newmont, AEM, Kinross, Pan American, Hecla and ETFs GDX/GDXJ/SLVP as prime targets.
Fed Rate Path Drives Gold Demand
- Gold prices are highly sensitive to expected Fed rate moves because lower rates and QE boost money supply and demand for gold.
- Recent flip from priced-in cuts to possible hikes (cut odds near zero) pressured gold despite geopolitical upside.
