With gold continuing its rise up I have seen a major increase in  gold stocks prices, I have decided to put together a small compilation for you to peruse.

It is interesting to note that physical gold (or equivalent) in Australian dollar terms ranks behind the top six companies while gold in US$ terms ranks behind the top nine companies. Not surprisingly, Australia’s largest gold company, Newcrest Mining represents the best proxy for US$-based physical gold; both improved by around 6% over the ~12month period.

The three smaller companies in the top ten performers were Catalpa Resources, which raised sufficient capital to finance the Edna May Project and locked in a hedged price of A$1,545/oz, believed to be the highest in Australian history; Regis Mining, where the previous Board and management were replaced largely by former Equigold personnel and OceanaGold, which significantly improved its cash cost position and recovered off a very low base.

Perhaps not surprisingly, it was the high cost producers and smaller end of the market which recorded the largest falls when the gold price fell to just above US$700/oz in October last year. Many of these companies have recorded stellar increases from their 12-month lows; in fact, more than half doubled in price from their lows and more than 20% recorded in excess of 300%. By contrast, gold, in both US$ and A$ terms, was only around 30% off its 12-month lows.
Apex Minerals, which was the third worst performing stock over the period, was still trading at its 12-month low on 26 June 2009.

The outlook for gold is bullish. If you choose to invest in any of these company’s you do so at your own risk.

Gold has been on the rise  and just shooting up , there are diferent ways youcan profit from it . one of the most Basic ways as we all know is to just buy gold from the  shop / market . gold shop / mint  and then sell it back to them when prices rise.

Has the glitter of gold caught your eye? As the price of the precious metal surges to levels it hasn’t seen in 25 years, investors who might not ordinarily dabble in such things are wondering if gold should be in their portfolio. Some investment advisers tout gold as a way to diversify a portfolio and protect against inflation and a decline in the value of the dollar.

Top gold investing options – profit from rising prices

But then there are other ways to  buy gold and profit from it as well.

1.ETF – or exchange traded funds ( GOLD ETF )

Gold etfs are the  Listed securities  that track the price of gold  and i s listed on the stock market . you can just buy these off the stock market like any other stock.

2. Producers shares  – Mining company stocks

Invest In gold mining companies. Gold producing companies  reflect the gold prices but there can also be risks as to the company performance , balance sheets and other factors.

3. Managed Funds _ Gold

There are managed funds thats selectively invest in the gold sector or focus on that sector. As these  funds are exposed to  different  gold mining companies and gold. you Invest in different gold companies at one time

The ultimate dollar hedge investment will always be gold. Investing in gold through ownership of the metal itself, mutual funds, or gold mining stock provides the most direct counter to the dollar. As the dollar falls, gold will inevitably rise

Missing out on gold is already costing investors a pretty penny. What’s more, most experts are forecasting gold prices to rise at least another 56% by the end of this year.

Direct ownership.

There is nothing like gold bullion, the ultimate expression of pure value. Historically, many civilizations have recognized the permanence of gold’s value.

For example, Egyptian civilizations buried vast amounts of gold with deceased pharaohs in the belief that they would be able to use it in the afterlife. Great wars were fought, among other reasons, to pillage stores of gold. Why the allure?

The answer: Gold is the only real money, and its value cannot be changed or controlled by government fiat-the underlying reason for governments to go off the gold standard, unfortunately.Gold’s value will rise based on the pure forces of supply and demand, no matter what Mr. Greenspan decrees regarding interest rates or greenbacks in circulation. The big disadvantage to owning gold is that it tends to trade with a wide spread between bid and ask prices. So don’t expect to turn a fast profit. You’ll buy at retail and sell at wholesale, so you’ll need a big price jump just to break even. However, you should not view gold as a speculative asset, but a defensive asset for holding value. Since your dollars are going to fall in value, gold is the best place to preserve value. The best forms for gold ownership are through minted coins
