In addition, Pat thinks then beginner investors should cultivate two important qualities: a healthy sense of skepticism and patience.

Investors should approach all investments with a healthy sense of skepticism. This can help keep you out of fraudulent stocks that masquerade as high-quality stocks. It will also keep you out of legally operated, but poorly managed, companies that promise more than they can possibly deliver.
If you are a new investor, you should also realize that losing patience can cause you to sell your best choices right before a big rise. All too often, investors buy a promising stock just as it enters a period of price stagnation. Even the best-performing stocks run into these unpredictable phases from time to time. They move mainly sideways in a wide range for months or years before their next big rise begins. (Stock brokers often refer to these stocks as “dead money.”)
If you lack patience, you run a big risk of selling your best choices in the midst of one of these phases, prior to the next big move upward. If you lose patience and sell, you are particularly likely to do so in the low end of the trading range, when stock prices have weakened and confidence in the stock has waned.

That’s without bearing the cost to store and insure physical gold investments like gold bars, coins, etc. Note—the best gold mining stocks also pay you dividends, which tend to rise along with gold prices and production.

Q: I’ve been a long-time reader and applying your work/research to my Portfolios with excellent success. My U.S. stock exposure was 25% of my Portfolio, and lately I decided to lower it to 15% because of all the commotion in the White House. What are your thoughts on the U.S. exposure percentage for a retired investor in their early 70s? Thanks.
