MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Gold did this exact thing in 1975… [then exploded] (Ad)

In 1975 the Fed raised rates and gold fell 50 percent. Headlines called the gold bull market dead. Instead gold climbed from 100 dollars in 1976 to 850 dollars by 1980, a 750 percent gain in under five years. Today the new Fed chair has floated another rate hike, and investors are reacting the same way they did in 1975. Analyst Garrett Goggin, CFA, CMT, founder of Golden Portfolio, says the setup rhymes with that era.tc pixel
