The point is about GLD and miners is this: Gold has trailed the miners by varying degrees during the most recent advance....but GOLD is less volatile than individual miners and less prone to individual company risk...If one employs leverage of 2:1 to GLD one gets the performance of AUY and ABX and more than the GDX... stockcharts.com Which is better a gold miner or GOLD, the answer lies with one's risk tolerance, diversification capabilities and ultimately with ones choices....
