Investors' most common questions on gold, answered

Gold prices, and gold mining stocks, have been on a tear over the last 12 months, with the price of bullion soaring more than 24%. ASX-listed gold stocks, of which there are 174 on the local bourse, have also had a fantastic year, with investors in smaller players like Spartan Resources (ASX: SPR), Perseus Mining (ASX: PRU), RED 5 (ASX: RED), Emerald Resources (ASX: EMR), Genesis Minerals (ASX: GMD), and Ramelius Resources (ASX: RMS), among others, making serious bank. That said, not all gold miners delivered the same share price performance as the aforementioned names over the last 12 months. In fact, 126 of the 174 gold players on the ASX saw their share prices fall into the red over the year. That's more than 72%. For investors looking for gold exposure without the volatility, gold-backed ETFs or physical gold itself may be a better choice.
