Original Reddit comment

Commenter argues against buying and holding gold and silver because they are cyclical and will drop when the current moment passes.

Unpriced research observations (excluded from Calls and Returns):

XAUUSD — AVOID The author argues gold is completely cyclical and will drop once the current moment passes, burning buy-and-hold holders. Holding it as a hedge is a waste of time unless traded correctly, so the author's stance is avoid. Exact non-equity contract requires separate historical validation; no generic proxy.

it's completely cyclical and you WILL get burned, it will drop once the moment passes
