Before we get to the portfolio review (brief this week), I want to touch on gold. Last week (‘Waving in the ‘Yella Fella), we were feeling good enough about the metals to write some cash covered GLD 0.00%↑ puts in BUSHY™’s hedge book. I did not expect the options to decay by almost 50% in a week.

‘Hindsight Capital LLC’ would have obviously strapped on something a bit more aggressive - but I am categorically not complaining. Risk asset markets are in the grip of some wild summer narratives at the moment. Getting my gold weight back to (a much higher) long-term target weight will require a full recovery of the chart.

The more remarkable move last week was of course the gold miners. GDX 0.00%↑ ripped through all of its major moving averages with a 20% ripper for the week - an epic feat of chart repair.

I have had several questions from readers as to when I would be comfortable adding to the ShinyAcorns™ basket from February.
