'Dollar Cost Averaging.'

Friends,
Most mature people don't ever show and tell what kind of money, savings, investments, etc., they are into, and this is very important! Friends, you NEVER but ever let people [especially the public] know about your Financial status, cash, investments, Insurance information !
However, even the Bible has some good stuff to save about the wisdom of saving up some money for a rainy day, dark times, Winter time, etc. But we are also reminded to be charitable, kind, and merciful to others in need, IF WE CAN HONESTLY AFFORD IT! Sorry to say that5 there are so many scams, schemes, cheating hearts, corrupt, crooked and demon worshiping rats out there in the world. Hopefully, we live, make mistakes and never repeat them !
I certainly have my own opinions which I share with a few friends that I can trust... with my life, etc. But I think it may be wise to take advantage of the present slump in "Metals" prices right now, and many governments have really messed up in the past, and it might take decades or more for them to get their country righted again.
Remember, it's better to live and be poor--- but gain the Kingdom of God, than to be filthy rich and then lost Salvation and Heaven forever !
I could also say out loud that so many other countries used to be "World Powers" --rich and mighty, but now they are poor, bankrupt, and weak! Their citizens are suffering, poor, hungry and persecuted. Let me add, that people who live in a relative FREEDOM like the USA, seem to be more happy, healthy, plus it's easier to serve and worship Father God, and love His Son, Jesus Christ. Have a great, restful night.

Gold Pullback Creates Long-Term Buying Opportunities
Wednesday, 31 March 2021 01:05 PM
Following a spectacular performance in 2020, the precious metals complex has fallen to its lowest price levels in three weeks and this has led many gold investors to ask key questions about whether or not the prior market rallies in gold and silver have finally ended. In this case, it can be argued that most of this weakness has been driven by generalized economic optimism that has been aided by continued efforts to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine.
However, given the various ways the economy can affect the value of gold, precious metals investors must be aware of recent market trends that have created upward pressures in the value of the U.S. dollar and sent government bond yields to their highest levels in over a year. Of course, higher valuations in the U.S. currency can make assets priced in dollars (like gold and silver) more expensive when purchased from foreign locations - and this can weigh on broader price trends throughout the global marketplace.
Additionally, rising yield in the 10-year Treasury note can weigh on gold and silver due to their inherent nature as non-yielding assets. Given that the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note has risen above 1.7%, it might not be a complete surprise that we are now seeing a pullback in gold prices. But when we look at the long-term trajectories in the commodities sector, these pullbacks are starting to look much more like a buying opportunity than a reason to be concerned.
Specifically, I am currently watching for the ways market sentiment might be impacted as gold prices approach important support levels near $1,550 per ounce. In recent trading sessions, we have seen the price of gold fall through important psychological levels that are watched by many in the market (for example, near $1,700 and $1,800 per ounce). However, the downside break through these levels appears to be overblown, in my view, because there was not any real technical support in these areas (as defined by clear rounds of buying activity on the long-term charts).
For these reasons, strategies that are looking to capitalize on weakness in gold markets could be rewarded in cases where investors are willing to hold their positions until at least the second half of the year. Clearly, near-term momentum readings suggest that further declines might be possible. However, these readings do not appear to be much of a concern given the fact that the only support levels that have been tested by the market have been psychological in nature.
Longer-term, the chart readings are clearly working in favor of an underlying bullish momentum. Remember, we were trading below the $1,200 level just a short time ago (during the second-half of the 2018 trading period). This shows that the broader momentum assessments are clearly working in favor of the bullish side of the argument and this is why I am viewing the recent weakness in gold and silver markets as an opportunity to go long at lower levels. Ultimately, these declines have skewed risk-reward scenarios in favor of the bullish traders in the commodities space and further downside might be limited given the extent of the selling pressure we have seen over the last several weeks. Overall, key trading clues can be found when looking at the value of the U.S. dollar and in the trend trajectory that remains present for bond yields in U.S. Treasuries. As long as the yield on the 10-year Treasury note remains below 2%, I will be looking to trade gold and silver from the long side and to capitalize on the improved risk-reward scenarios that have been created by all of this recent activity in precious metals markets.
