Gold is down from levels seen earlier this year, but Frank Holmes of US Global Investors thinks the metal is poised to move up. “When you look at a 20 year chart, gold is ready to break out. When you look at the historical pattern for 23 years, gold has outperformed the S&P two to one,” he said. Gold stocks haven’t been as successful for a variety of reasons, but Holmes believes select companies are due to rise. “I think the wakeup call for a lot of North American people is you’ve got to be in there to buy the dip and buy those quality gold stocks,” he said.
