How to invest in Gold using mining company stocks

December 2009 No Comment
If your like most Americans you have thought about investing in gold, but all the clouded information has made the process very confusing. The recent pricing run up of precious metals has made gold investing a solid choice for a portion of many investors portfolio. Once you decide you do want to the invest in gold the next decision is how you want to invest in gold. I feel it makes the most sense to invest in the gold producers which is the mining companies that locate the gold and gold ore and bring the gold material to market. This investment can be easily completed by taking a look at gold mining stocks that can be purchased via your trading account.

The reason I find the gold mining companies attractive is the the revenue they receive for the gold material should continue to increase while they are still investing the same amount of company revenue that they have in the past. This means the productivity and profits can increase while expenses remain the same or constant. Look for gold mining stocks that are already producing gold as many of them are still prospecting and are not producing any gold at all and may never produce gold, which makes them a much higher risk. Some of the gold mining stocks are listed below for your review should provide some good opportunities. Please make sure to fully review all gold stocks with your advisor before making any investments. I must also state that I own some of these gold stocks and could make an increase return in my investment if the stocks increase in value.

At the top of my list in terms of having the greatest opportunity for growth is Sierra Gold Corp, symbol SGCP, pink sheets. This is one of the only gold mining stocks I have seen in the penny stock category that is already producing gold and has secured very productive land for continued gold production in Sierra Leone on the West Coast of Africa. They have recently secured financing that should allow production to increase dramatically in 2010. If this occurs this could be a penny stock that goes to 1 or 2 dollars per share. Again, this is a high risk for high return investment. Some other gold mining stocks to look at as less risk than SGCP would be Goldcorp (NYSE:GG), IAMGOLD Corp, (NYSE: IAG), Bema Gold Corp. (NYSE: BGO), and Metallica Resources (AMEX: MRB).

I expect gold prices to continue to increase over the next 6 to 12 months which should result in good returns for gold mining stocks. Picking the right gold stock to invest in will be the hardest part of the gold stock investment decision. Make sure to consult your investment advisor before making any final decisions on gold mining stocks. Investing in gold mining stocks one of many ways to invest in gold.

How Should You Invest in 2010?

December 2009 No Comment
2010 is fast approaching. I have had conversations with colleagues..and the issue that was brought up so many times was 2007-2009 just a fluke or the beginning of something more serious. As usual… I told them to their discern I do not know the future. However in all reality… if we ran our personal households how the central banks and banks ran their portfolios we would be living on the street and I feel there will be a price to pay. The real problem throughout the world is debt, both Govt debt and personal debt. The reality is both the borrowers and the lenders have a serious problem. The borrowers can be wiped out… but what will the lenders do with anything from worthless debt or run down real estate? More so the fact,there are starting to be shortages of basic foodstuffs could make for scary headlines. The fact is India has imported rice for the first time in I do not know how long. There are droughts stretching the globe. This is a fact.. not a headline. Argentina is not exporting soybeans. What does all of this mean? I believe we are in a period… not to see how much we can make… but rather how much we can protect! Not a return on investment…but rather a return of investment. I am not implying to freeze and do nothing. Even leaving your money in the bank you can lose money due to inflation…. Even thinking about putting all your assets in gold you can lose money. Anything can happen. Gold can go to $4,000 an ounce or $400. One must really believe anything can happen… So how should you invest in 2010? I think the word is cautiously and with a plan. This is how I explain to potential clients. Everyone wants to find someone who has the answer…That is why they watch CNBC or Bloomberg thinking some expert will tell them something that is a secret. Well in reality that will not happen. The key this year as well as all other years is to diversify …be cautious…be realistic…and have a plan. In my personal opinion…I feel the safest place for my money is in trend following strategies over a large basket of interest rates, currencies, commodities, stock indexes, energies etc. Further more I spread out my assets with NEVER more than 5% in any idea ( even the trading programs I do in our commodity pools and trading accounts). I believe in allocating to other commodity trading advisors who understand risk…have a plan…that are disciplined…and patient..In this manner I am not predicting anything rather attempting to make myself available for any outcomes. What is the best aspect of commodity trading and trend following is the <strong>liquidity</strong>…( I can liquidate my whole portfolio with in a minute or so) as well as liquidate my managed accounts very quickly…<strong>transparency </strong> as well as the regulatory that Hedge funds do not have. The problem is people think commodity trading is risky. More so I have seen this all too many times..They allocate to a commodity trading advisor when they have a good run…and then leave when there is a draw down. This is completely the wrong idea if someone wants to compound their money or use their money as inventory to make more money. So how should you invest in 2010? Ask yourself really what changed… Did the banks write down all their losses..NO! How is the rate of employment? I do not need to answer! Have foreclosures stopped? 2010 should be time of being aware of the risks that can plague you! Consider allocating some of your portfolio in trend following and managed futures.

Futures trading involves risk. People can and do lose money


My name in Andrew Abraham. I have been investing in commodities and managed futures since 1994. I am a commodity trading advisor/co manager of a commodity pool who adheres to the philosophy of trend following. Trend following stresses a disciplined approach to commodity/ futures trading. Successful trend following and commodity futures investing requires patience, discipline and actively managing the risk. What sets us apart from other Commodity trading advisors and commodity pools is that we are not only concerned about the return on investment but how much risk you will have to tolerate to achieve your goals.
