A Stress-Free Way to Invest in Gold

Investing doesn’t just test your patience. It can test your health.

In fact, market stress doesn’t only live in your head… It can land you in a hospital bed.

I can attest to this personally.

The high blood pressure from my time on Wall Street left me with the kidneys of an 80-year-old man before I turned 50.

I don’t regret a second of the journey. But I do wish one of my Wall Street mentors had taught me how to emotionally survive the relentless ups and downs.

None of them ever showed me how to handle the fear, excitement, regret, and panic that comes with watching your net worth rise and fall every single day.

And this isn’t just a Wall Street problem. Everyday investors pay the price too.

That’s why I’m writing today, because there’s no investment you can make that’s worth sacrificing your health. And yet, people are literally rioting over the hottest trade on the planet right now: gold.

More on that in a moment. First, if you think I’m being dramatic, medical research shows investing stress can harm your overall health.

A study in The Journal of Finance found a link between stock returns and hospital admissions for anxiety, panic disorder, and major depression. The link was nearly instantaneous – occurring within the same day of a market drop.

Another study by Duke University researchers, published in the American Journal of Cardiology, found heart attacks rose steadily during the 2008 Financial Crisis.

From September 2008 through March 2009 – the worst months of the crisis – heart attack rates surged as markets collapsed.

That’s what emotional investing does.
