Which One Would You Buy And Hold?

Make my day punk! Do you feel lucky? Was it 5 or 6 ? (Quote Clint Eastwood).  Which one would you choose as BUY and HOLD?

The stats, folks:
- Dow Jones Industrials rally for 72 months (6 years)
- Gold correction for 43 months (or 3 and 3/4 years)

The charts below show the Rate of Change (ROC) based on  72 and 43 months for each. 

The 1929 Rate of Change for the Dow Jones hit 300%; the straight line  burst up (2015) to get to 300% would mean the Dow Jones at between 28,000 and 32,000 in the next 2 to 3 years. To hit 200% means a Dow Jones between 19,000 and 21,000 in the next 2 to 3 years; this is more likely than the 1929 playbook.

If gold mirrors the 1980s move at 300% to 450%, this would estimate gold to reach from current levels to between $5,000 and $6,000 (USD) an ounce in 43 months. 

Option1
 - GOLD, as it is oversold, more gains to the upside.

Option2
- Dow Jones, the easy gains are over, but not all gains are over, and there is the income (dividend) option.

Option3
- A balance mix of both. If you can't decide, sure, why not? But take care on your allocation of risk.

Folks, it is time for serious pause during 2015. If you have GREEN on the screen, it may be time to turn GREEN into cash.
