Which Gold investment do you prefer? And why?

Newmont Gold Mining

Tocqueville Gold Fund

Street tracks Gold Trust

The first one is a stock, the second one a fund, the third one an ETF.

If you want to invest in gold, then gold mine stocks are best. Especially the mines that have a high production costs will give a better leverage when the gold price rises.
The State Street Gold tracker follows the price of gold minus fees. There is no leverage.

So if you want a bigger bang for your buck, the tracker is eliminated. But, if you only want to invest in one item, the gold mine stock is out as well, as I think one should diversify. The Gold Funds holdings are gold mines, its 1 year performance in 53% and its fees are reasonable (2% entry fee, 1.6% management fees).

So that's the one I would pick, if I have to choose one.

I own the silver ETF. If you look at the historic ratio of silver to gold, silver is undervalued - as is natural gas when compared to oil. I see more industrial uses for silver, and less supply from future mines.

If you want the physical gold Perth Mint and they store it for free.

Resources Investment Trust I bought this for 86p it's now 213p, it could easily go to 250 and strong resistance around 200.

Look for an Invetment Trust with gold
Trustnet is a good web site.

More risky is land where gold can be mined there are a number of these on Toronto stock exchange not sure whats on AIM.

Mainly Gold and Oil both will generally move in the same direction.

If the world wakes up to tha fact that the US Dollar is overvalued physical ownership of gold would be the best investment

Copper Uranium are also a good bet a US quoted CUP ticker look very undervalued
