Strangely, Barrick Gold (ABX) was selling at 50 cents a share in 1985 (adjusted for splits), and went as high as $32 before sliding back recently to about $18. So even at this level, it has increased 36-fold over the last 12 years! And this in spite of the fact that gold itself has been on a slide for as long as we can remember!

My question is : how can this happen when gold has been going down all the time? An even more important question is : can this continue to happen? Maybe gold itself is not a good investment but gold-mining companies like Barrick Gold perhaps are? Any comments?

Dipy.
