As shown in the table above, we have outperformed the buy-and-hold strategy (B&H) 14 of 15 years for SLV. In 2015 we were negative (-4.26%), but still outperformed the B&H (-12.42%). For GLD, we outperformed the B&H 13 of 16 years (i.e., no year was unprofitable).
Track Record 2021 (Close: 9/17/21): Our returns are -12.64% GLD and -6.46% SLV. The buy-and-hold strategy is -8.18% GLD and -15.59% SLV. The precious metal markets have been displaying a significant amount of whipsawing action and volatility this year. Hopefully when the markets find stability, our system will start to outperform the buy-and-hold concept of investing.
Track Record 2020 (Close: 12/31/20): Members profited an astonishing +73.75% SLV and +0.86% GLD, whereas the buy-and-hold strategy returned +47.30% SLV and +24.81% GLD. We outperformed SLV by +26.45%.
