BUY
Gold: Everyone should own gold bullion.
TOP PICK
Gold Bullion (GLD-N) if you have a US$ cash position. Otherwise gold stocks (XGD-T). (Canadians have to pay an enormous premium for bullion.) Thinks gold will become one of the alternate currencies or be part of a basket of world currencies. With all the money being pumped into the system, there has to be some uptick in inflation. Gold won't wait for that to happen.
TOP PICK
ETF gold. Denominated in US$ so if you don't want to pay the 20% premium, use the XGD-T (?), the gold index in Toronto. The only difference is that it is gold shares vs. actual bullion.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 17/09. Up 9%.) Physical demand for gold is there. Thinks it is the paper market that is low. Probably a lot of funds bought commodities including gold, but because they are unwinding everything, they have to sell their gold.
BUY
Better than iShares COMEX Gold E.T.F. (IGT-T) as there is more volume. Any weakness in the US$ could be a disadvantage to Canadian investors. Anywhere between 2% and 5% of an investor's portfolio should be in gold as a hedge against instability and uncertainty.
TOP PICK
It’s a flight to safety. Good looking chart.
BUY
There is a lot of money being printed right now and Gold is a good place to be.
TOP PICK
Gold. Not a big weight in portfolios. Prefers gold to gold stocks.
COMMENT
Gold. He is negative on the US$ and if correct, gold should go up.
COMMENT
If you were bullish on gold and wanted to aggressively play gold options, he would Buy an October call option on this.
TOP PICK
Didn't pick this because it was a money-making idea but everything else is horrible and gold is probably the one place you are not going to lose money. Will help balance your portfolio in a very risky environment.
TOP PICK
Prefers gold bullion to stocks. Insurance against a financial calamity as well against inflation. Will probably take over as the world's reserve currency once again.
BUY
Gold plays a great hedge against inflation and against the US$. Thinks you could see some appreciation in gold prices in the short term.
TOP PICK
Gold is a protection against a decline in the US$ as well as a hedge against inflation.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 4/07. Up 31%.) Has half his 15% exposure to precious metals in this and iShares Silver (SLV-A). The other half is in gold and silver stocks. Still a Buy.
