best gold royalty s

Gold Royalty. simple. No mining costs just paid in gold. 38 million shares outstanding and a royalty with just about every major mining company. I 'd lose my lunch trying to trade this stock, but over a period of a few years, you'd be rich.

Fool article rec; gold should hedge inflation

someone's been reading Peter Schiff and Christopher Barker (TMFSinchiruna)

Locking up great prices on gold. Since it is a trust, it avoids taxes producers can't. And since it has no costs involved in mining the stuff, I'd say they are working out some great deals.

Streams coming online at an ideal time, though cananda is imposing taxes on energy trusts, they havnt on gold trusts so i expect huge dividends in the coming years.

Great financial and valuation.Mining the right stuff.

timing is tough with gold but it's a good safety hedge

I may be a little early on this one, but this pick is one of a collection of UltraShorts and 3X Bear ETFs that are all due for a short but (hopefully) profitable rebound (10%?). In looking at a combination of the Slow Stochastics, the Volatility Index ($VIX) and the Daily Sentiment Index (DSI, courtesy of GoodVibe's blog posts) for this pick and others, I think we'll see a local minima established for this pick this week or next.

To me, it's clear from the Slow Stochastics of some big ETFs that they are due for a turn-around. Take a look at ERY, BGZ, SFK, and SJF, to name a few. All are above the 80% "overbought" line, some above the 90% line, meaning they are more likely to fall, and soon. The "Williams%R" indicator, which leads the Slow Stochs by a few days, is showing even greater "overbought" tendencies, and in some cases is starting to head back down. In general, this is good news for a market shocked by dropping below the 7000 psychological mark. And if investing for the masses is anything, it's psychological. So, I think we'll see a rally starting this week and pushing into next week. But I don't expect it to last long -- maybe to St. Patty's Day if we're lucky, perhaps a little longer.

Finally, let me be absolutely clear: I still believe we are definitely NOT at THE bottom, but only at a local minima. We have at least another 20% to fall:

If you do not have time to watch your purchases over the next 2-3 weeks, don't play the game. I have a feeling it's going to be very volatile. Good luck!

I find the post of rgldripoff55 as disingenuous when that bear pitch is the person's only holding, unless that person bought at the top and got creamed by selling at the bottom, or they have a chip on their shoulder about them, ya think?? My point?

Gold/Silver/PGMs require resources (to buy, and WHAT you buy MUST have resources to mine or be acquired by a larger fish unless it is an ETF, reseller or profits via royalties such as RGLD), they require research, and most of all - patience and diligence are essential.

I like the royalty model. SLW has similarities and I've done well with them in the past. Silver is a hyperactive little brother to gold and can get away with a lot of things that gold cannot. Both are actively manipulated, but that cheezy game via COMEX should come to an end when enough contracts demand delivery. Given time, both shall do quite well in this Brave New World Order of a temporary depression to be followed by hyperinflation. The latter will be when the PMs shine the brightest and the mania stage and hyperbolic rise commences with sheeple FLYING to them.

RGLD and others of quality will provide sweet leverage to the price. I may go long in reality by summer, 2009 if a good entry is presented. My pitch is long term so short-term volatility and/or losses on CAPS during Spring, 2009 won't faze me one iota.

A gold royalty company that has a pretty clean balance sheet. Not one of the "big boys" but could be a solid pick in this market for 2009.

Skimming Royalties beats costs of doing the mining.

Royal Gold has had quarter over quarter in declining revenue. This company last quarter made .09 cents a share for the quarter way under analyst consensus of .17 cents. Not to mention 14.6 million in revenue under the analyst consensus of 16.2 million. This compnay in my opinion is one of the most over-valued companys on the market. My prediction is definitly retesting last year's low and more then likly 2003's low. Strong sell !!!

Massive increase in true money supply now will result in inflationary pressure in the US$ (and other currencies), causing gold and well-managed mining equities to out-perform the S&P 2-4 years out. Royal Gold, with its extensive, quality gold mining royalties, is very well positioned to profit from the inevitable weakening of fiat currencies.
