The investment seeks to replicate the performance, net of expenses, of the price of gold bullion. The trust holds gold, and is expected to issue baskets in exchange for deposits of gold, and to distribute gold in connection with redemption of baskets. The gold held by the trust will only be sold on an as-needed basis to pay trust expenses, in the event the trust terminates and liquidates its assets, or as otherwise required by law or regulation.
Candlestick Analysis: "Buy If" (American Bulls). Currently in a Bullish Engulfing Pattern.
Summary: The numbers and charts don't lie. Gold and GLD outperformed the general market for the past five years, and now that it has status as a premier currency, that trend is unlikely to change. For the first time, I'm really thinking about going long GLD, a small position as a safe harbor.
GLD 3-year chart (monthly)
GLD traded down with the rest of the market in early 2009. Recently, it has traded apart from most stocks.
