Gold, Silver, fly to all-time records. Miners soar. Should you sell? This is what I’m doing.
Video Overview & Insights
There are several reasons why you might be considering selling some of your precious metals or mining stocks:
Great advice Clive thanks
“I need to pay the rent” - Good reason
“I feel over-exposed to the sector” - Good reason
What do you do with your old benchmark portfolios do toi liquidate and start a new or top slice
“I’ve found a better investment” - Good reason
“I think the price will fall” - Good reason
Thanks Clive, great video and breakdown. New subscriber and also just new to investing, so I appreciate the vid 👍🏼
“I want to take profits” - Not a great reason
In this video I tell you how I address these reasons and how much you should sell and how much you should keep
TY

The Unlimited plan costs less than a cup of coffee per week — and if you can’t afford a cup of coffee, you probably shouldn’t be trading stocks.
Interested in Gold or Silver?
Great point about the psychological factor…
Never thought about that angle.
That you could sell all your winners at the optimal time but you’d still be left with a portfolio of ‘losers’ even if your returns were optimal. This is psychologically difficult to manage.
Less than optimal returns with improved psychological factors might not be optimal financially in the short term. But it encourages one to keep it up long term. Therefore in the end it is psychologically and economically beneficial.

About Me
I’ve been investing for over 50 years. I’ve made plenty of mistakes — and I’ve learned from them.My aim is to help you grow and protect your wealth by sharing real-world experience: when to own stocks, bonds, cash, gold, silver, property, and other assets — and just as importantly, when not to.
The holy Bible says silver and gold ARE real money. That’s good enough for me (and have been buying for years).
You can find out more about my work, portfolios, and resources by visiting my website:👉 https://clivethompson.com/
Learn from my mistakes, so you don’t have to make them yourself.
Ah, Mr. Thompson. Nice to see you having a good walk during your video's, good exercise, and while you are doing it, good exercise for your brain, and your vocal cords. Well done, a great use of time. Education and exercise all in the same time frame. Thanks !

😆😆😆😆😆 I love how if he just got a big brick of gold out of his trousers 👖 and dropped it on the ground in view of many people they wouldn't care.carry on people 😆😆😆😆😢
@aaronShmacklesBuy the rumor, sell the news. I have seen this many times in crypto. Jan 1st we might see a huge pullback. I haven't sold anything yet until I can find another good investment.
@darrellb6583Excellent time for this topic. I would have loved to hear comments on selling a portion of miners and the strategy of buying real estate/land in discounted markets for the long term.
@jazzmagic-v3rGreetings from Sunny Bradenton Florida 👍
@jeffu8520Some analysts are saying silver will fall back to the $40 range, so time to short to that level by DCA (dollar cost averaging ) from $7940 today or on the likely stop hunt on Sunday night which will take out $80 price target and spike to around $8150.. let’s see 😂
@rayr3137I’m moving on and buying my retirement property which will probably need work. I currently live in a listed cottage which needs work, so will be living there until I can move in and sell my cottage.
@Hedgehogsinthemist123i invest in silver miners, in a fund with name auag silver bullet. Is it better with physical silver?
@fredrikrex5127Great advice.
For now I'm choosing to compound my wins in Ag, fairly certain it'll go higher even if its a bumpy ride. My barometer is not the Ag price per se, but the Gold:Silver ratio vs historical trends.
You should never sell assets for a worthless currency if you can avoid it
@Mandanceexcellent advice!
@circlelabsありがとうございます🙇
私も、同じ考えです！！！！
ドルも終わるでしょうし、
これから銀が楽しみです！！！❤
I hope Clive or somebody could answer this for me. Should I be buying physical gold and silver bullion or a gold/precious metals stock or etf? I can’t find the latter. I’ve asked the bank for help, but they said I have to do my own research but I’m really confused. Thank you !
@kbr1064you can't buy happines and time
@ercanqa7452How can I approach you for your advise
@fauzianaurine2871selling gold for silver? what do you say to that?
@ehaaronGreat post, thank you.
@brianbannon8938Clive, the "AI Data Center Energy Problem" funnels down to PGMs that are used for emissions scrubbers. The planned AI projects by 2030 add the equivalent of 20% car fleet in the US. Whether current power utilities or on-site coal/diesel AI power systems, they will demand more PGMs. That may be why Platinum started moving recently, someone else realized that.
@jvin248Gosh what a stunning place you are in! Is that down to investing?
Liked and subscribed. I started investing little amounts in metals about 5 years ago, and Ive been telling my family members please to buy in, but they are stubborn! I also believe that although there may be some corrections, retail has still not cottoned on and professional investment firms are still not allocating much to gold. When I spoke to a few 2 years ago none of them favoured gold so I decided on DIY investing!
Back in 2016 I thought this was happening so I bought a shitload of miners. Only to realize nothing was going on, so I sold them a few years later. Now I don't own miners anymore 😔 But atleast I have almost 100k in gold and silver.
@defrankenI wish you had been my teacher at school.
@dan19752008Wonderful video Clive happy holidays.
@M3_OreooWhat a wonderful location...
@GilBalfasGood advice. I sold on the dip after 100% gains and bought in into silver miners.
@wiktorjespersen971Gold 10 k ✈️🤌
@user-nz7hd4on2g9kAgreed. My plan is to sell about 10% of my silver each week as we continue this rocket ride. Until I get back to holding my original investment cost. It’s called taking profit. I will cycle the cask back into energy, financials, and technology stocks.
@WtfizdatMerry Christmas Clive
@zeeshTekChironYou should take profits at sometime and it's okay if you miss out of what is to come if you make money on it you didn't take a loss
@Wowsers101Some men just want to watch the world burn - A.P.
@rajhianandaI sold a substantial amount of my miners held from 2021 and redistributed it to oil, gas and oil & gas pipeline stocks and water treatment facilities. The goal is to reinvest the profits until retirement.
