Lobo Tiggre, founder of The Independent Speculator, argues that geopolitical spikes in gold are usually short lived and that investors should focus on the deeper structural trend rather than headlines. He believes gold’s strength is driven less by Middle East tensions and more by long term monetary debasement and sustained central bank buying. While bullish long term, he expects a period of correction and consolidation after gold’s surge above $5000, emphasizing disciplined profit taking rather than emotional chasing. Lobo distinguishes between permanent bullion savings and speculative mining stocks, urging investors to follow the formula of buying low and selling high. He currently sees relative value in oil, copper, and uranium, while maintaining that the next major move in precious metals is more likely up than down once consolidation completes.
