  • Is $1000.00 now the Floor for Gold? by Steven P. Orlowski
    Nearly five months ago I wrote a post here at SeekingAlpha.com outlining reasons why investors must own gold.  At the time gold had been trying it's darnedest to move higher to then retest that psychological threshold of $1000.00.  Every rally would elicit cheers from... More »

  • Central Gold Trust's Steep Premium by Geoffrey Ching
    Central Gold Trust (GTU) is a closed end fund (CEF). CEFs, similar ETFs, trade on stock exchanges like stocks.
