Both gold, gold producers, VUSA and global clean energy have been bearish during the last 2-3 days. Why?
It looks so strange…

Understood, but how can I know if they will be still profitable?

Listen to Seb.
Also if you do not know how to build a diverse portfolio do as Buffet advises and just dump it all into the S&P 500

By the end of September the professionals had generated £497 of profit compared with £292 managed by Orlando. But an unexpected turnaround in the final quarter has resulted in the cat’s portfolio increasing by an average of 4.2% to end the year at £5,542.60, compared with the professionals’ £5,176.60.
The result indicates that the “random walk hypothesis”, popularised in economist Burton Malkiel’s book A Random Walk Down Wall Street , is perhaps truer than we thought. Burkiel’s book explores the idea that share prices move completely at random, making stock markets entirely unpredictable.

People buy gold as a hedge when there is uncertainty in the markets. Right now there is a lot of good news, trade talks are back on USA and China are making positive statements. Employement numbers are good and consumer sentiment is still high. You then also have the fed who are very likely to lower interest rates which is good for equities.
