Small Cap Gold Mining Stocks – A Wise Play?


Unless you live under a rock, you know gold continues to be hot. My favorite gold ETF that I’ve made money with has been rising each year. As more and more investors shift toward a gold investment strategy, they look for gold-based plays aside from straight gold ownership and that usually means mining stocks. But are they a good play?

In my opinion, I think mining stocks can work, but they are highly speculative. There’s a lot to know (jurisdictions for example) and it really is hit or miss. Still, if the market has positive expectations for a stock and the demand increases, the price will go up and we can make money on that (or short if reversed).

I will be talking more about gold investing and these stocks as time goes on, but today I want to give you a nice basket of small cap gold mining stocks to research.

It’s about 2 p.m. EST on a Friday and many of these gold mining stocks are down. They might be profitable plays next week. Make sure you research these and don’t just jump into one or more positions because gold is hot.
