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.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 22/10. Up 23%.) Tracks gold bullion. Sentiment on gold got so lop-sided that his system sent up flags, so he sold his holdings.
COMMENT
Has trouble owning gold, but when every country in the world is trying to devalue its currency, this is a very attractive environment for gold. It is not more attractive than value producing companies. There is no sign that gold will change direction.
COMMENT
Gold ETF. This is a play on bullion, not gold companies.
BUY
Trades at a 1 to 10 ratio on the underlying gold bullion so it is an efficient way to get access to bullion.
TOP PICK
Gold. This one holds the physical bullion. Chart shows a nice upward trend and it broke through resistance at about $116. Sentiment on gold is starting to cool, which is okay with him as he might add more to this.
DON'T BUY
Are they really holding as many tonnes as they say they are? He doesn’t know. He tends to play gold through gold shares.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Apr 20/09, Up 38.08%) There are very few things where he sees such a long term up trend. Stick with it.
TOP PICK
Fantastic long term up trend. We have good levels of support. Good fundamentals. Canadian dollar is tied to the global growth story.
DON'T BUY
Gold ETF. He prefers playing gold where it is US$ hedged, which is available through HBP gold ETF. Doesn't see any point in trading gold if he is going to make money on the commodity but lose a good portion of it on the currency.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 17/09. Up 12.9%.) SPDR Gold ETF. Gold is in a good long-term trend. Can be quite powerful in a deflationary environment and a lot of currency fluctuations.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Dec 01/08, Up 45.5%) Changed for XGD-T because of Canadian dollar. Also he was uncomfortable with it because of futures. Wanted to come back to Canada.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 5/09. Up 48%.) Bought Jan 90 Calls, which were trading at $22.25. His cost was $15. He would sell these now. If you like gold, this is probably not a bad ETF to have.
DON'T BUY
This is the obvious choice if you want to hold physical gold but has currency risk. You might want to take a look at HBP Comex Gold ETF (HUG-T), which is hedged against the US$ so you get the full event each of the rise in gold.
TOP PICK
SPDR Gold Trust ETF. Every portfolio should have 2% to 5% in gold. Watch for the technical analysts not to ring the bell that this has formed a head and shoulders bottom, where you break the neck line and market technicians will start talking about a move to $1200-$1300. Will rise with weakness in the US$.
BUY
Would have 10-15% in gold. GLD-N is the best way to play it.
