So a few solid leverage plays seems to be USFD, CHWY, and GOLD. My only reservations are GOLD was about $6-7 while a Dem was in office, so I’d definitely dump before November to be on the safe side. CHWY is new, but my wife really likes it. Any thoughts on this? To me, it could go to $20 or it could go to $100. I really can’t tell. USFD feels safe. I sold mine last week, but I’m always watching to jump back in.
GOLD was also in the $50s with the same Dem in office. It looks like the greater correlation would be it's relationship to the VIX and to overall market uncertainty. GOLD ran hard while equities bottomed in early 2009. By 2011, the economy was finding some stability (albeit muted stability) and GOLD started to roll over. Now it seems to be back in favor while there is again a great deal of uncertainty with the broader economy. I don't own it directly, but I do have some exposure to it through GDX which I do own along with GLD.
