First, choose your own operation mode.
1, long-term investment: suitable for investors who have no time to pay attention to the market. Generally, long-term refers to the holding time in years.
2. Mid-line investment: suitable for investors who don't pay much attention to the market time. Generally, the midline means that the holding time is calculated in months.
3. Short-term investment: suitable for investors who pay more attention to the market time. Generally short-term refers to the holding time in weeks or days.
Second, the investment trend.
1. We advise investors to follow the trend and not go against the trend.
2. Trend investment principle: when it goes up, it does not measure the top, and when it goes down, it does not measure the bottom. Both the top and bottom are out, not predicted.
3. Mattel effect: the trend is formed, the strong will remain strong and the weak will remain weak. At present, gold investment can be divided into two categories: one is to sell physical gold, including gold bars, coins and gold ornaments; The other is the so-called paper gold, that is, gold trading without physical gold intervention. At present, Bank of China, ICBC, China Construction Bank and other banks have paper gold business. Paper gold is potentially high-risk and high-return, and the investment group is large at present.
Skills of speculating in gold: The first trick is to closely combine your own financial situation and financial management style, which means that the purpose of personal speculating in gold must be clear. Do you invest in gold in order to earn the difference in a short time? Or as a low-risk part of personal comprehensive financial management, is it intended to hedge risks and preserve and increase value for a long time? For most non-professional gold speculators, the latter purpose accounts for the majority, so it may be more appropriate to speculate in gold from a long-term perspective.
They should look at the trend of gold prices, choose suitable buying points to intervene in the gold market and make medium and long-term investments. Wealthy families with more spare money can choose to invest in physical gold, make full use of the value-preserving and hedging function of physical gold, and make good gold reserves for individual families. Wealth managers who are keen on fighting in the financial market and making profits from investment can choose gold coupon trading. If such a wealth manager can better grasp the stock market, he can move similar skills to the gold market, spend some time and energy to pay attention to and analyze the international economic and political situation, and then boldly enter the gold T+D trading market.
The second measure is that gold investment should consider exchange rate changes, oil prices and the international situation, which are the three major factors that affect the long-term trend of gold prices. The price of gold is generally opposite to the exchange rate of the US dollar. When the dollar depreciates, the price of gold tends to rise, and vice versa. The price of gold moves in the same direction as the international oil price. Under normal circumstances, oil prices rise and gold prices rise, while oil prices fall and gold prices fall. Gold is also a means to prevent natural and man-made disasters such as war, so when the international political situation is tense, people tend to invest in gold. At present, the biggest international political factor affecting the price of gold is the development of the situation in Iran.
The third measure is to buy the head up rather than down. T+D gold trading, like stock and foreign exchange trading, should abide by this principle. In the process of rising prices, every moment of buying behavior should be said to be correct, but one thing should not be bought, that is, when the price of gold rises to the top and turns around. This theory mainly reminds investors that when buying and selling gold in the spot, they should not pay one-sided attention to the price level and ignore whether the price of gold is in the trend of big bear or big bull.
When making T+D short investment (that is, buying down), we should also pay attention to the changing curve. Generally speaking, investing in T+D is suitable for chasing high and killing low.
