I have been thinking about adding gold to my portfolio for some time, but it always seems "too expensive".
That's why I've now decided in favor of the $LBUL (+2.61%) decided in favor of gold.
My crypto and equity exposure is currently high enough - I just wanted to have a stable counter-buffer.
Advantages:
- Profits can be realized at any time (taxed directly, no 1-year holding period as with gold ETCs)
- Expansion via SafeBack, weekly round-ups and savings plans
- Target: approx. 15% of the investment volume as a counter-buffer to the growth portfolio (tech & Bitcoin)
- I expect the gold rally to continue for a while - this will allow me to stay in and get out flexibly
- For me, the risk with gold is lower than with meme coins or hype stocks
Disadvantages:
- Not a classic long-term investment - leveraged products are more for tactical bets
- The leverage can be disadvantageous during longer sideways phases (path dependency)
- Fluctuations significantly greater than with gold directly
- Taxable on every sale, no holding period
👉 The right solution for me at the moment: a solid buffer alongside my core investments - without opening new positions, as I am very happy with my portfolio overall.
