Well-Timed Launch For New Junior Gold ETF: GDXJ
Investment success often lies in timing. Van Eck Global may have hit the nail on the head with today’s introduction of Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ). With gold bullion breaking above $1,100 earlier this week, gold stocks are flying.
GDXJ follows the also very successful Market Vectors Gold Miners (GDX), launched back in 2006. The difference lies in that word “Junior.” GDX includes large-cap global mining companies; GDXJ is focused on much smaller gold miners and prospectors. The weighted average market capitalization of GDX constituents was $15.2 billion as of 9/30/09. In the index tracked by GDXJ, it was…

The Treasury Is Punch-Drunk On Stimulus
We’ve all heard that the stock market always looks forward, never back.
You can see the proof. Just take a look at companies that recently announced great earnings, but still hedged their bets on future guidance.
The reason is that the market wants to know what’s going to happen in the future. It couldn’t care less about what’s already in the bank. Right now, the markets know one thing for sure: The U.S. Treasury is printing money and dumping it into the financial system at historically unprecedented rates in an effort to stimulate the economy.
Chances are good…

Once again, the U.S. Mint can’t keep up with the huge demand for American eagle gold and silver coins. Americans are so anxious about the uncertainty of the seemingly never-ending financial crisis that they are demanding physical positions of their gold and silver, the only true money.
It’s not hard to see why. In many ways American eagles are ideal ways to buy gold and silver.
They are easily recognized, certified by the U.S. government, and easy to buy and sell through any coin dealer worldwide. And they normally sell for close to their bullion value. That is, until recently.
Prices for gold…

Gold’s performance in 2008 could look like a real yawner.
After all, it only managed to eke out a 5.7% gain. Not the kind you’d normally brag about over cocktails.
As we rang in the 2009 New Year, gold at $850 an ounce (in U.S. dollars) was roughly 15% below its all-time record high, set in March 2008.
But everything in life is perspective. In a year when oil lost 59%, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index was down 38%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gave back 30%, things could certainly be worse for gold bullion investors. Much worse, in fact. Just ask the typical…

In the closing weeks of 2008, Americans have once again been shocked by a massive Wall Street scandal. Former Nasdaq chairman, Bernie Madoff was arrested for masterminding a $50 billion fraud. The Bernie Mad(e)off with investors’ money Ponzi scheme is just the latest Wall Street scandal to see the light of day.
I firmly believe that the Madoff $50 billion Ponzi scheme will be just the first of many Wall Street frauds that will be revealed in 2009. In the past, Americans trusted their hard-earned savings to Wall Street bankers, brokers, fund managers, and so-called professional money managers.
I seriously doubt…
