Dear Reader, When Russia finally crossed the Ukraine border, Aussies immediately felt the effects. The ASX dropped $74 billion in value. The Australian dollar fell by 0.6%. And oil powered up past the $100 per barrel mark. ABC Business Editor Ian Verrender says the crisis could be a ‘genesis for a global recession’. And it’s causing investors to pull out of stocks and into ‘safe haven’ investments. Gold is one of them. It’s no coincidence the yellow metal hit its two-year high at the onset of the invasion. But instead of buying bullion like most investors do… I believe there’s a smarter way to play and leverage gold prices long term. I call it ‘niche gold’. And I believe five of these investments could outperform all your other holdings in 2022. Read about them here. Sincerely, Brian Chu, Editor, The Daily Reckoning Australia |
