GDXJ: A Small-Cap Gold Miner ETF With Big Potential

June 6, 2010 by Editor · Leave a Comment 

About 54% of GDXJ’s holdings are considered “small-cap” using the metric of a market cap of $200 million to $1 billion. The ETF balances this with 44% in mid-cap names (stocks with market caps of $1 billion to $5 billion). In addition, GDXJ’s country exposure should give investors some comfort. Nearly two-thirds of the assets are in Canadian companies. Australia and the U.S. also have double-digit allocations. Words: 533

Why GLD Is My Choice Over Every Other Stock and ETF

June 2, 2010 by Editor · Leave a Comment 

Investors are looking for a safe place to put their money – an asset class they can “touch” and possibly trade even when no organized marketplace exists. That of course is the worst-case scenario and I do not believe it will get that far but the possibility is there and gold seems to achieve peace of mind for investors at the moment. As such, for me, GLD would be the only stock or ETF I would buy if I could own just one. Words: 843

Don’t Sucumb to Fear When Choosing Gold Investments

May 22, 2010 by Editor · Leave a Comment 

There’s the greatest irony! Gold bugs panicking over GLD’s connection to physical gold instead have flocked to an ETF that in no way, shape or form actually tracks the price of gold. Investors in PHYS are paying serious cash to avoid a better-constructed ETF, simply out of paranoia and fear. Words: 689

GDXJ Junior Gold Miner ETF: The Devil is in the Details

May 4, 2010 by Editor · Leave a Comment 

I had previously expressed personal interest in buying into this fund – as a relatively “safe” and diversified investment (within this sector). However, should the fund managers choose to invest heavily into derivative investments, the actual holdings of mining equities could be limited, and thus not offer an amount of diversification to justify experienced investors into putting money in this fund – and certainly the “safety” I had hoped for is also not present.

April 30, 2010 by Editor · Leave a Comment 

While ETFs offer numerous advantages over traditional actively-managed mutual funds and individual stocks – near total transparency, intraday trading, and a (generally) more straightforward tax situation – they aren’t foolproof, and there are plenty of opportunities to make mistakes while investing in ETFs.

April 29, 2010 by Editor · 1 Comment 

Many ETFs now present unique approaches to stock and bond investing by tweaking popular and widely-followed benchmarks. The very first ETF, the S&P 500 SPDR (SPY), remains by far the largest U.S.-listed ETF, reflecting investor familiarity with the underlying benchmark, but there are now approximately 30 other issuers now competing for a slice of this still-growing pie.
