This summary was created by AI, based on 5 opinions in the last 12 months.

Experts express a nuanced view on SPDR Gold ETF (GLD), emphasizing its role as a safer investment when compared to gold mining stocks, which carry significant operational risks. One expert highlights the advantage of separating gold from mining stocks, advocating for a diverse basket of gold assets. Another expert has recently purchased GLD, indicating a preference for gold over more volatile options like silver. The current market sentiment acknowledges a possible buying opportunity, especially as it aligns with technical indicators such as the 200-day moving average and a recent RSI touch at 30. However, caution is advised as some professionals have taken profits, indicating potential market volatility and suggesting that while holding GLD may be low risk, individual mining stocks could see corrections in the near future.

BUY
A little more positive on gold longer-term and this would be a good way of playing it. This is a direct play on gold bullion.
TOP PICK
This is a play on the bullion. As the markets have been breaking out into new highs, gold has been doing so also. Technically it looks like it is going to have an ascending triangle break out. Looking for gold to challenge its previous highs of $720.
BUY
This is a direct play on gold and he would combine this with some intermediate gold stocks.
BUY
If you are going into golds, this is his preference.
BUY
A very convenient way to get exposure to the gold price without physically taking possession of the gold. If you have a cash component to your portfolio gold would be a good place to hold it.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 9/05. Up 45%.) Easy money is probably gone. Gold has had a long run. Thinks gold will build a large symmetrical triangle which could span 9 months.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 8/06. Up 11%.) A Pairs Trade, shorting gold Stocks (XGD-T) and going long on Gold (GLD-N) Turned out to be an OK trade.
TOP PICK
If you are looking out three years, and you want a full contingent of gold exposure, this is a defensive wait to play it.
BUY
As the savings in the far east increases, it will go into gold. This is a safer way of playing gold.
SELL
This was one of his past picks. It is now up 8% since his last recommendation. The upward trend is over and it is time to sell.
TOP PICK
DON'T BUY
Not a gold bull. Gold is at a 25-year high which really means that the return on gold over the last 25 years has been 0. At the same time, you could have bought any number of equity and had a tenfold increase. If you focus on the long-term, ownership of good businesses bought at good prices will trounce the long-term return on any gold.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 9/05. Up 15%.) Since it is still going up, there's no reason to get out of it. The ETF's are a safer play than the gold stocks.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 27/05. No change.) US$ has been in a bull market since Dec/04. Getting a bit long in the tooth.
TOP PICK
Impressed at the way gold has performed. Bullion has done rather well, but gold stocks have been tragic. Had a low in February and a higher low in April. It could get to the $50 area.
