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.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick July 17/08. Down 2.17%.) Has been disappointing that gold has not gone through $1000. Seasonally we are in a weak period. Expecting a pretty clear go from the fall and into spring.
COMMENT
The problem is that when the US$ falls gold appreciates and your return in Cdn is zero. If you have a strong view against the US$ you should use the Claymore Gold Bullion Trust (CGL.UN-T). If you don't, you could use this either one.
DON'T BUY
Day to day, we are still in the environment where gold is in vogue with a lot of chatter. He is a bit concerned that a lot of people think it will break $1000 and go much higher. The main reason people are talking about gold is because of the US$ and the deficit. He would rather own uranium or oil as a hedge.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Oct 6/08 Up 3.14%) Modest exposure to gold in portfolios is warranted (10-15% of the equity exposure)
TOP PICK
Top Short
SELL
Bearish on Gold, selling short. Hasn’t traded a gold company, long or short, for a long time.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick July 17/08. Down 3.4%.) Bullion in this environment can do well on many different scenarios. Good hedge against inflation, deflation, further financial disruption, etc. Hopes to be out of the position by the end of this year.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick April 2/08. Up 0.9%.) Gold is a terrific long-term bet. Sold and replaced it with Canadian iUnits Gold (XGD-T). Concerned when main custodian was not responsible when sub custodians delivered gold to him. Raised a huge yellow flag. (See Top Picks.)
BUY
People should always own some amount of gold, anywhere between 2% and 5%.
TOP PICK
Recently broke out of a pennant formation. Will probably see some sort of resistance develop. If it got above its present top ($97?) he would be inclined to add to it.
TOP PICK
Buy Jan 90 Calls if you are real bullish on gold you can get a 3 or 4 times gain on this. On the downside is your loss of the $15 you paid for the option. (He doesn't know where gold is going.)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 11/08. Down 4.6%.) Just sold this because 1) it is denominated in US$ and he got a 25% currency gain 2) expects gold prices to increase in 2009. Moved into iUnits Gold (XGD-T) on the TSX. (See Top Picks.)
TOP PICK
Gold seems to be ahead of the market on a whole. Long-term chart looks very good. If it broke through $78, he would be a little bit worried but would probably be a re-acquirer at the lower level.
