Gold coins and gold bullion prices gained again last week with a slight one percent gain.
This compared to a week that punished stocks and equities. The Dow Industrial Average dropped 3.29 percent in the week; the S&P 500 declined 3.79 percent while the NASDAQ took it on the chin dropping a hard 5.02 percent during the week.
Gold prices have actually increased in four of the last eight weeks and actually hit a six week high just last Thursday. It also broke above a key 50-day moving average.
While gold has been trading in a narrow band, it appears that its valuation is holding steady while traditional equity investments have suffered.
