| Why Gold Could Climb Nearly 20% in the Next 12 Months | | By Brett Eversole | | Tuesday, March 8, 2016 |
| Gold is up... And it could go up a lot more...
A gain of 16% to 19% over the next year is entirely possible, based on history.
Let me explain...

---------------------------------
Yesterday, I told you about the buying opportunity that just appeared in the Japanese yen. The story for gold today is nearly identical – but the potential gains are much bigger.
The yen has three things in its favor:
| 1. | It has fallen dramatically since 2011, | | 2. | It has jumped recently in a short period, and | | 3. | It's "up" over the last 12 months, for the first time in years. |
These last two things had led to great returns over the NEXT 12 months, based on history.
Gold is in almost the same situation as the yen – but as I said, the upside is much greater...
>From its peak in 2011 to its trough in December 2015, gold fell 37%. But since then, it has clearly "broken out."
This breakout comes thanks to that big 8% gain in January... and another 11% gain in February. But monthly gains of that size are rare.
This has only happened 7% of the time, going back to 1975. Importantly, this extreme monthly move is a good thing for gold prices going forward... The table below shows the full details...
| Gold Returns | 1-Month | 3-Month | 6-Month | 12-Month | | All periods | 0.5% | 1.6% | 3.3% | 7.6% | | After being up 8% in one month | 1.3% | 2.4% | 7.1% | 18.9% |
More than 40 years of history show that when gold climbs 8% or more in just one month, it tends to outperform going forward. And that outperformance is consistent, regardless of the time frame.
Importantly, based on the extraordinary performance in January, gold could deliver a gain of up to 19% over the next year.
Like the Japanese yen yesterday, it's not just the one-month move that's important...
Gold is actually "up" over the last 12 months. This is big news.
A positive 12-month stretch in gold returns has been tough to come by... Since the end of 2012, only two months showed positive 12-month trailing returns (out of 36 possible months) – until 2016.
Again, like the yen, gold does extremely well after a positive 12-month performance. Take a look:
| Gold Returns | Annualized Return | Time in Trade | | All periods | 8.0% | 100% | | UP over the last 12 months | 16.1% | 59% | | DOWN over the last 12 months | -2.9% | 41% |
Specifically, this is the performance of gold in the month AFTER a positive 12-month gain, annualized.
In short, you want to own gold, now.
Yes, gold has done well... but based on history – these solid recent gains tell us that we could have more to come.
Good investing,
Brett Eversole

"When several of our analysts are bullish on the same thing, you should pay attention," Sean Goldsmith writes. "That's often when the biggest gains come." Learn what some of our analysts are saying about gold in this essay from last month: This Could Be the Start of the Next Great Bull Market in Gold. Before you invest one dime in natural resources like gold, this classic interview with master resource investor Rick Rule is a must-read.

THE LATEST FROM THIS CLASSIC 'BOOM AND BUST' SECTOR
Gold and silver aren't the only commodities soaring right now... Today's chart tells us the trend in steel is up (for now). As longtime readers know, the steelmaking industry is one of the market's biggest "boom and bust" sectors. Get into the booms early, avoid the busts, and you can make good money trading steel. We last checked in on the sector in mid-September. At the time, steel was stuck in a big downtrend... But today, the trend clearly has reversed. To see this, we turn to one of the country's leading steel producers: U.S. Steel (X). As you can see from the following chart, U.S. Steel is up more than 60% to start 2016. This volatile sector could easily switch directions and fall again, but for now, investors are enjoying the recent uptrend... |
