DENVER (MineFund.com) -- The last time that general equities were this cheap relative to gold or silver was 1991 and 1987 respectively. Unfortunately, it’s not merely confined to general equities.

Why Silver’s Run May be Far From Done

ST. LOUIS (MineFund.com) -- Many professional investors spend a lot of time and treasure tracking reversions to the mean. In its most simple formulation, it means that if, say, the gold price, is at an extreme distance from the average, then there is a high probability that the next price points will be at a less extreme distance. The good news is that silver prices have a long way to go before they risk "extreme" territory.

Gold Equity Dividends Must Rise Further and Faster

ST. LOUIS (MineFund.com) -- Gold equity investors have been cheered by recent company promises to improve dividends. The pledges have been underwritten by thickening margins, especially over the last eighteen months as gold prices outpaced input costs for the first time in several years.

Disappointing Day for Equities as Gold Climbs

ST. LOUIS (MineFund.com) -- Gold equities, mutual funds, and Commodity Traded Funds made little of bullion’s new record high nominal price of $1,441 per ounce on the nearest dated futures contract.

The world’s leading gold miners, represented in the MineFund Gold Index (GEX), continue to show indifferent leverage to gold prices and have done so since the start of 2010. After being outshone by the gold ETFs all of last year, there has been a marked pullback for the world’s largest such fund, the SPDR Gold Shares. However, BlackRock’s Gold ETF continues to show very impressive leverage to the gold price with continued evidence of investors trading out between the two leading funds.
