My ETF of the Day: GGGG


For more than five years, some investors have been predicting a huge rise in the price of gold. Maybe they’ll finally be right in the second half of 2013. Just maybe.
GGGG, an exchange-traded fund also known as the Pure Gold Miners ETF, is down in price by 49.62% through yesterday’s market closing.
If you believe in buying low and selling high, and if you are among investors who believe we will begin to experience rising inflation in the second half of 2013, you’re probably interested in grossly oversold gold-mining DTFs, starting with GGGG but including GG, GDX, GDXJ, and GLD.
You might be interested in oversold silver stocks, too. If so, visit SILJ and SLV. 
My 1-year Yahoo chart for GGGG shows a very nice up trend in July and August 2012, followed by a persistent down trend until a few days ago.  
My 3-month chart for GGGG suggests the possibility that  the ETF is now near the bottom of its 2013 downtrend.
Forecasts of precious-metals prices vary from one source to another.  No surprise there. I like educated guesses but I tend to dismiss predictions out of hand.
Never forget this: All investments and savings are gambles on the unknowable future and thus subject to loss.
