| BUY | 84.280 | Jeff Black | There is a lot of money being printed right now and Gold is a good place to be. | 2008-10-06 | |
| TOP PICK | 84.280 | Jeff Black | Gold. Not a big weight in portfolios. Prefers gold to gold stocks. | 2008-10-06 | |
| Comment | 89.180 | Som Seif | Gold. He is negative on the US$ and if correct, gold should go up. | 2008-09-22 | |
| Comment | 85.980 | Richard Croft | If you were bullish on gold and wanted to aggressively play gold options, he would Buy an October call option on this. | 2008-09-19 | |
| TOP PICK | 94.220 | Veronika Hirsch | 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. | 2008-07-17 | |
| TOP PICK | 94.440 | Peter Brieger | 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. | 2008-07-16 | |
| BUY | 91.400 | Som Seif | Gold plays a great hedge against inflation and against the US$. Thinks you could see some appreciation in gold prices in the short term. | 2008-06-30 | |
| TOP PICK | 91.400 | Peter Brieger | Gold is a protection against a decline in the US$ as well as a hedge against inflation. | 2008-06-30 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 86.650 | Peter Brieger | (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. | 2008-06-04 | |
| DON'T BUY | 84.580 | Jeff Parent | Gold is very tricky here. Thinks $850-$900 is going to be a new range for it and you'll see big swings. Looking for it trading in a tight range of $850 plus or minus $30 for a while. Doesn't think it will go up to the $1000 level until the end of the summer. | 2008-05-02 | |
| Comment | 84.580 | Som Seif | This is his favourite ETF for gold investing. This one is a physical gold product and holds actual gold in a vault. Low cost at 0.4% MER. A great gold product if you like gold. | 2008-05-02 | |
| TOP PICK | 89.270 | Peter Brieger | Gold bullion ETF. He likes precious metals in either the bullion format or a precious metal stock. His target price for gold is near $1500 in the next 12 to 18 months. | 2008-04-02 | |
| DON'T BUY | 98.340 | Bill Belovay | This entitles you to a percentage of gold. Should something happen, you are not guaranteed that you will get your gold. He personally thinks a person should just go and buy gold coins. | 2008-03-13 | |
| BUY | 89.440 | Som Seif | A great product. Physical gold. He would appoint people to physical gold rather than the derivative contracts. | 2008-02-13 | |
| Comment | 89.850 | Brian Acker, CA | Globally banks have let us down and paper money has fallen dramatically. Gold should go higher. Gold company stocks are overpriced. As the price of gold goes up, gold companies costs are going up also. This is a way to buy bullion. The trouble is, you don't know when the change on gold price will happen and this worries him. | 2008-02-07 | |
| BUY | 88.950 | Peter Brieger | His target for gold is $1200 and his gold holdings include Gold ETF’s (GLD-N) (his prime play) plus 3 gold plays Agnico Eagle (AEM-T), Kinross (K-T) and Yamana (YRI-T). These are great intermediate stories with great growth potential in front of them. | 2008-02-06 | |
| TOP PICK | 88.580 | Peter Brieger | Gold bullion. This is a more conservative way to play gold. There is a new set of players coming into the gold sector, who are disenchanted with holding paper currency. | 2008-01-11 | |
| BUY | 81.300 | Peter Brieger | There is little correlation sometimes between the price of gold and gold shares. Likes gold very much and to act as a counter balance to his StreetTracks Gold ETF (GLD-N) he bought a package of gold stocks including Kinross (K-T), Agnico Eagle (AEM-T) and Yamana Gold (YRI-T). | 2007-11-26 | |
| STRONG BUY | 74.500 | Peter Brieger | Generally he likes gold very much. With the Canadian dollar being so high, the worst case is that the Canadian dollar will reach $1.05. This is a US stock, so if the Canadian dollar drops, the value of the stock in relative terms will go up. | 2007-10-17 | |
| Comment | 72.330 | Peter Brieger | He would consider using the Cdn$ at par to extend his holdings to extend his non-Canadian holdings. | 2007-09-25 | |
| TOP PICK | 70.970 | Jean-Francois Tardif | STREETTRACKS gold E.T.F. owning gold is the place to go because it’s safe. Gold could move in a big way. There may be demand from China, India or Russia. | 2007-09-17 | |
| BUY | 66.070 | Norman Levine | He generally doesn't own ETF’s, but if there were one he did own, it would be this. If you think the price of gold is going up, then you want to own the commodity. With a mining company, you have exploration costs, mining costs, strikes etc. | 2007-08-29 | |
| DON'T BUY | 65.440 | Richard Croft | ETF on gold bullion. He is not a big believer in gold. If you think gold is going to $1000, this is a great way to play it. | 2007-07-11 | |
| Comment | 64.740 | Bill Belovay | An easy way to own gold. With the ever strengthening Cdn$ you would be losing some of the benefits from direct investment. If you really believe the US$ is going to be considerably weaker, this is one you should own. | 2007-07-03 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 65.600 | Peter Brieger | (A Top Pick May 15/06. Up 14.5%.) | 2007-05-16 | |
| Comment | 66.450 | Peter Grandich | Physical ownership of bullion. A good way to trade intraday and if you don't want to own physical gold. | 2007-05-11 | |
| BUY | 67.890 | John Zechner | A little more positive on gold longer-term and this would be a good way of playing it. This is a direct play on gold bullion. | 2007-04-25 | |
| TOP PICK | 68.400 | John Manley | This is a play on the bullion. As the markets have been breaking out into new highs, gold has been doing so also. Technically it looks like it is going to have an ascending triangle break out. Looking for gold to challenge its previous highs of $720. | 2007-04-16 | |
| BUY | 65.850 | John Zechner | This is a direct play on gold and he would combine this with some intermediate gold stocks. | 2007-04-02 | |
| BUY | 63.210 | Peter Brieger | If you are going into golds, this is his preference. | 2006-12-29 | |
| BUY | 62.490 | Paul VanEeden | A very convenient way to get exposure to the gold price without physically taking possession of the gold. If you have a cash component to your portfolio gold would be a good place to hold it. | 2006-08-16 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 62.710 | Bill Carrigan | (A Top Pick Aug 9/05. Up 45%.) Easy money is probably gone. Gold has had a long run. Thinks gold will build a large symmetrical triangle which could span 9 months. | 2006-08-11 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 61.140 | Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTA | (A Top Pick Feb 8/06. Up 11%.) A Pairs Trade, shorting gold Stocks (XGD-T) and going long on Gold (GLD-N) Turned out to be an OK trade. | 2006-07-24 | |
| TOP PICK | 67.410 | Peter Brieger | If you are looking out three years, and you want a full contingent of gold exposure, this is a defensive wait to play it. | 2006-05-15 | |
| BUY | 58.470 | Peter Brieger | As the savings in the far east increases, it will go into gold. This is a safer way of playing gold. | 2006-04-03 | |
| SELL | 54.490 | Bill Carrigan | This was one of his past picks. It is now up 8% since his last recommendation. The upward trend is over and it is time to sell. | 2006-02-14 | |
| TOP PICK | 54.830 | Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTA | | 2006-02-08 | |
| DON'T BUY | 55.260 | James Cole, BA, CFA | Not a gold bull. Gold is at a 25-year high which really means that the return on gold over the last 25 years has been 0. At the same time, you could have bought any number of equity and had a tenfold increase. If you focus on the long-term, ownership of good businesses bought at good prices will trounce the long-term return on any gold. | 2006-01-17 | |
| TOP PICK | 49.740 | Bill Carrigan | (A Top Pick Aug 9/05. Up 15%.) Since it is still going up, there's no reason to get out of it. The ETF's are a safer play than the gold stocks. | 2005-11-28 | |
| TOP PICK | 43.340 | Bill Carrigan | (A Top Pick Apr 27/05. No change.) US$ has been in a bull market since Dec/04. Getting a bit long in the tooth. | 2005-08-09 | |
| TOP PICK | 43.200 | Bill Carrigan | Impressed at the way gold has performed. Bullion has done rather well, but gold stocks have been tragic. Had a low in February and a higher low in April. It could get to the $50 area. | 2005-04-27 | |
| BUY | 44.020 | John Embry | The ETF is a good thing since it will allow a lot more people to access gold much more easily. When there is a real raging bull market on gold, this will explode. Some controversy as to whether this would be a tool that central banks could use to control gold. | 2004-12-22 | |
