Gold is One of the Few Assets That’s Up for the Year

Gold is One of the Few Assets That’s Up for the Year by: Tim Iacono December 16, 2008
Don’t look now, but the little yellow metal that pays no interest and provides no dividend is one of just a few assets that can make the claim of being in positive territory for the year.
It’s only eked out a gain of about one percent - a London PM fix of $833.75 last December 31st versus about $840 as this is written - but, most investors would be happy with any number that doesn’t start with a minus sign this year.
Interestingly, if you held the physical metal versus the paper variety, you’d be up somewhere around five percent at the moment.
The next two weeks could also be kind to gold as the second half of December has produced an average gain of about two percent over the last seven
