This summary was created by AI, based on 7 opinions in the last 12 months.

The iShares S&P/TSX Global Gold Index ETF, represented by the symbol XGD-T, has garnered a mixed bag of perspectives from various experts. Some analysts are optimistic about gold's potential for upside, citing supportive bullion prices and strong cash flows, suggesting it could be a good time to start accumulating. Others express caution, indicating that gold may not be as compelling as base metals like copper and aluminum, especially as there is a worry about overheating within the gold commodity space. There’s acknowledgment of the volatility in gold equities, with a possible pullback on the horizon due to the current high interest level among investors. While some experts suggest limiting exposure to gold, others advocate for it as a defensive asset in diversified portfolios, emphasizing its role as a hedge against currency fluctuations.

iShares S&P/TSX Global Gold Index ETF(XGD.TO)

Dec 31, 2012

Very good ETF. It has all the major gold producers. If you are a gold bug, then it is a good one to have. If you are buying it as part of your asset mix, that is fine but he is not a gold bug.

Got in in the first or second week in August. There is lot to be worried about with US politics. Everything is lining up for gold to move higher. Thinks this is great. A great way to catch the gold space. This is the time for the gold bugs to be right. About Jan or Feb next year.

Sep 25, 2012

(A Top Pick Oct 14/11. Down 13.68%.) Views this as insurance. Feels gold shares are undervalued relative to bullion. With this one, you stay in Canadian dollars so you don’t have to take any currency risks. Reasonably diversified and the top 10 names account for 70% of the basket. Starting to pay a modest yield.

Mid May until Mid-July gold goes down, as do gold stocks. You can then play it until the end of the year. It is lining up nicely. If XGD outperforms gold, go for the stocks, otherwise go for Gold. XGD is best EFT for gold stocks in Canada.

This holds all of the large-cap gold companies. Completely oversold and trading very divergent away from gold prices. If gold continues to move up and Europe continues to have issues, he feels gold can do well.

S&P/TSX Global Gold ETF. Tracks gold producers. With the recent pullback of bullion he feels there is better value with the gold shares. Dominated by 3 big companies, Barrack (ABX-T), Placer and Newmont (NMC-T), which account for 40%.

S&P/TSX Global Gold ETF. Very frustrating as you invest in gold stocks, why is it not the same as gold bullion. There are a lot of factors such as currency and costs. If gold can maintain its level, he doesn't think he can, these stocks will start moving upwards a little better. He would recommend at mutual fund of small gold stocks rather than this ETF.
