Barrick Gold stock price soars after Warren Buffett's buys a stake?


Has Buffett bought gold? Buffett has not changed. Buffett does not want to hold physical gold, but he has never said that he will not buy shares in gold mining companies.


Looking at the entire market, there are not many stocks that fit Buffett's trading. And Barrick Gold Company is just one of them. Buffett bought nearly 21 million shares, and the current share value is $563 million.

We now look at the underlying logic of Buffett's purchase of Barrick Gold stock.

Compared with physical gold ETFs, gold mining companies can respond positively to market conditions. There are financial reports to analyze, With dividends and stock repurchase plans, gold mining companies have the right to reward shareholders through capital return plans.

In contrast, the physical gold ETF has no gains.

The market generally believes that it is still in the upward cycle of gold prices. The current international environment is one where black swans emerge one after another. While paying attention to the gold market, we must also keep an eye on changes in international politics, economy, and finance. As the US election approaches, unexpected news will increase. Based on experience, every three weeks, there will be a large-scale friction event in the United States or related countries, which will help the gold bull market.

Due to the strong demand for gold as a currency hedging tool, it is a reasonable phenomenon that gold prices are supported. Due to the epidemic, there will likely be a decline in the middle, or even for some time, but it is unlikely to fall sharply.

This upward cycle will create a favorable business environment for gold producers. According to the existing market conditions, gold producers can put new mines into use, or temporarily not use them, control costs, and the operability is very flexible. The management of most gold mining companies is still relatively conservative on large-scale capital expenditures.

This not only brought record-breaking profit margins, but also set free cash flow expectations to a new high, and is expected to further encourage companies to significantly increase shareholder dividends.

This is very much in line with Buffett's stock selection philosophy and is a wise move by Buffett under the premise of uncertainties and uncertainties in today's market environment. Of course, we also saw that Buffett only used a very small position area for investment. And I think

This investment will not be Buffett's long-term investment. As gold mining stocks are affected by the cycle, their trend will suddenly reverse. Therefore, Buffett sold bank stocks, that is, because of the current market environment, various uncertainties surrounding the US election, and the confrontation between China and the US, and thus began to reduce investment in financial stocks.

With the purchase of a large number of shares of Barrick Gold this time, it is obvious that Barrick Gold will bring him huge returns. The stock will reflect the value of gold for most of 2020. The stock has grown 45% so far this year. After Berkshire’s investment, the stock has risen 8.11% in after-hours trading.

From the above analysis, it is easy to see that Buffett's attitude towards the price of gold is positive. This news has greatly encouraged the gold bull market. Many people naively think that Buffett's sunset is over. In fact, in the real world, the managers of global 100 trillion dollar fund management companies are all staring at Buffett. Currently, only about US$1 trillion is invested in gold, and investment in gold is less than 1%. As Buffett now invests in gold assets, the market expects that global capital allocation will increase significantly.

The positive sentiment surrounding gold means that Bitcoin's valuation will be pushed up. Because Bitcoin is considered digital gold, the price trend between gold and Bitcoin shows a certain correlation.

Since late March, since the global stock market crash, Bitcoin and gold have risen simultaneously. This shows that more and more investors are beginning to regard Bitcoin as a valuable asset, and I hold an open mind about Bitcoin. For Bitcoin, there is already a lot of controversy in the investment field. However, human society is always changing, some controversial emerging things, or will become mainstream things in the future, we should always pay attention to their development.

Investors should pay more attention to foreign exchange and commodity markets so that they can add value to your assets. Among many assets, anti-inflation commodities such as gold have become essential assets. Take gold as an example.

There is also a saying, "The world bought gold during turbulent times." From basic political theory, we know that gold is not currency, and the currency is naturally gold and silver.

Investors have begun to switch back to traditional growth stocks

 On Thursday, the stock prices of Cisco, Alphabet, and IBM hit new highs. But more importantly, the previously unpopular speculative growth stocks, including stocks bought by many ARK funds, have now begun to rebound.  How is this going?  Investors' perspective on the market is changing. In the first quarter of this year, mainstream voices in the market believe that the economy will restart strongly, bond yields will rise, and inflation may become a problem later this year. After the end of the first quarter, these expectations were only partially fulfilled.  The U.S. economy has indeed restarted strongly, but bond yields fell in the first quarter instead of rising because investors began to believe:  1) Inflation and supply chain disruption may indeed be "temporary", as the Fed insists;  2) The second and third quarters will be the highest points of stock returns and economic growth.  Alec Young, a chief investment officer of Tactical Alpha, said: “...

What is the essence of the stock market?

If you have invested in stocks for many years, and you already know what stocks are. But if I tell you, even if you have invested in stocks for many years, even if you are still losing money, you may have misunderstood what stocks are. Many people think that buying stocks is investing in a company and becoming a company shareholder. As long as the company makes money, the stock price will rise. As a shareholder, you can share the economic achievements of the company’s development, such as obtaining dividends from the company, such as the appreciation of existing capital, is it not good to return cash flow every year?  If you think so and are willing to keep close to the company's stock if you wait for 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, then this idea may be correct, I will not stop you. But if you buy stocks just to make money, then I can tell you that the idea just now may be wrong. And this idea may cause you to often lose a lot of money, do you want to know why? First, if you a...
