Bearish Gold ETF Fund Signal? Gold Slips In Public Eye (GLD, IAU, PHYS, DZZ)
Christian Magoon: In what appears to be a bearish signal for gold ETF fund investors, a recent survey of Americans shows the conviction level in gold as the best long term investment has slipped.
Gallup recently completed the poll by asking Americans “Which of the following do you think is the best long- term investment: bonds, real estate, savings accounts/CDs, stocks/mutual funds or gold?” Gold placed number one as it had eight months ago for the last survey. However the latest survey saw an 18% drop in that conviction level among respondents.
What area picked up gold’s lost rate of conviction? Savings accounts/CDs and stocks/mutual funds. This is a trend in gold sentiment which gold ETF fund investors should monitor.
