Although they’re more volatile than Gold, if you can position yourself on the ‘right’ side of their dominant trend, investments in fundamentally sound Gold mining shares can be even more profitable than investing in physical Gold. Here’s a look at the major trend move underway in the Gold Bugs index, one of the most widely regarded indexes that scores of precious metals equity traders and investors rely on.
My, how times do change. Less than a year ago, the share prices of virtually every senior and junior Gold mining company were on the proverbial ‘ash heap,’ and some market analysts had doubts that the bull run in the precious metals sector would ever regain a solid footing, much less soar to new highs. And yet, that’s just what happened - a complete recovery across the entire sector (including Silver and Silver mining companies, too), with Gold now at all-time highs and Silver up more than 100% in less than 12 months. Even better for those who trade Gold mining stocks, the Gold Bugs index (which tracks the performance of some of the biggest and most fundamentally sound Gold miners) is up a mind-jarring 200% since October 2008 – and the uptrend doesn’t appear to be waning yet. Let’s have a closer look at the weekly technical chart of the Gold Bugs index and examine the key trend indicators as see what they may be telling us about the future trajectory of prices for this volatile and potentially profitable sector of the market.
