Gold investors make 120pc return in four months

February 25, 2009
A gold investment that private investors can buy on the stock market has gained in value by more than 120pc in four months.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
The Russell Global Gold fund, an “exchange traded fund” or ETF that tracks the performance of gold miners, has produced a total gain of 121pc since October 27 last year.
Meanwhile, a similar investment that tracks the gold price has risen by 33pc since November 21 and by 65pc since this time last year. The gold price broke through the psychologically important $1,000 an ounce level last week.
The Russell Global Gold fund, which tracks the performance of the world’s largest gold miners, is the strongest performing equity ETF among those provided by ETF Securities.
“The fund continues to benefit from investors’ positive view on the gold price and the leverage to the gold price gold equities provide,” said ETF Securities. “Despite recent price increases, gold equities are still trading at a substantial discount to their historical levels relative to the gold price.”
Investors can buy ETFs from stockbrokers in exactly the same way as buying a normal share. The stockbroker will charge its usual fee, while the company that manages the ETF will deduct its charges, which may typically be about 0.5pc, from the income produced by the fund.

Yeah, but they’re making their “money” in gold STOCKS, which are just paper investments that only return computer digits – data entry. If they cash in on it, they get Federal Reserve Notes. Whoopie! The really smart people are the ones who are buying gold COINS and holding onto them. Gold is a disaster hedge, not an investment, dummies!

You’re exactly correct Gary. However, I would add to your comment that in the current market it’s Both a hedge & an investment…Buy gold & or silver NOW while they still accept PAPER MONEY in exchange!!

Well, true. You CAN make money from trading gold stocks, as well, but you’d do better to put that same money into physical holdings of gold, IMHO.

I concur with gary, but watch out… the nazi party had troops steal gold, which we can expect from our troops if and when it happens. So, don’t think that they are there for just your guns.

You can’t beat pre-1933 U.S. gold coins for an investment – mine have doubled in value in 15 months – try that in a “good” stock market!!

I see one problem with this, I did some checking on this subject and if I was to buy 10k in gold and then in 2 years sell it for 20k. guess what “PEOPLES” I/we get charged at the gold exchange store or bank or guy at the gold store a fee for each piece of gold or the amount I made..SO in that token its the same as having the gold on the stock market. ANd the food stores and general stores do not TAKE GOLD….HA….work out to be the same if u want to think of it in that aspect…!! So make your choice stock market or gold same thing..PERIOD u still get CHARGED for the exchange and pay taxes and the like T_HEE as the old internet saying goes….!!! ya right.. And the ones selling gold on the internet like E-bay are getting charged for this, and the “G” man is taking notice to this..I checked on that too….I shall stick with the story above I think, go that route for now..BUT having gold is gooooodddddd…:) too soo do both just in case..its a win win deal but remember u have to pay the TAX-MAN and the fee that goes wth it either way….prove me wrong, ha..I have done me home work….

many info about censoring, disinfo, and false leaders …
What your leaders dont want you to know …

Im sure alex and ron have figured how to profit from making you people so scared that we are going to need gold as a currency. Gold isn’t some kind of magic elixir that is going to save the world. Cult leaders typically have 1 or 2 punch solutions that they convince their people to believe in through brainwashing techniques. One such way is to control their people through information. This is what mr. aj and ron p. are doing. They sing gold currency and constitution as though they are the answer to every problem. Aj talks about elite while he is becoming an elite from dough selling survival crap.

Think critically people dont blindly follow these ego maniacs who want to brainwash you with their own propaganda.

gold in exchange for worthless paper sounds smart to me.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:50 am
How about this. You make money with stock investing and the profits you trade in for physical bullion!
Another thing is that this article doesn’t point to the fact that gold miners got crashed in the last months of 2008.
February 27th, 2009 at 11:05 am
paper and gold are both not eatable. i was a gold bug at one time,but i have realized that soon, gold trading will be halted standerdized at one rate, and not allowed to float, because of a coming new monetary system. there is no safe haven, other than cheap fertile farm land.
