Four Dividend-paying Gold Investments Glitter

02/14/2025

Four dividend-paying gold investments glitter as the precious metal keeps climbing.
The four dividend-paying gold investments with potential to profit are recommended by top prognosticators who track the sector closely. Amid market volatility, gold is proven hedge that lures buyers during troubling times.
"Gold has started 2025 with a bang, breaking out of a post-election slump to already set a new record for all-time high," said Rich Checkan, president and chief operating officer of Asset Strategies International, of Rockville, Maryland. "In 2024, gold snatched 39 all-time high record closes, and the rally is once again going strong.
"As President Trump has taken office, the launch of myriad new policies has thrown markets and news cycles into chaos. Regardless of the future impact of his administration's actions, the unpredictable nature of his governing style has shaken up markets, with the volatility impacting equities, precious metals and the U.S. dollar in the near-term."

Four Dividend-paying Gold Investments Glitter: Ongoing Rally
Following a strong 27% annual gain in 2024, gold has rallied another 10% YTD, outperforming all major asset classes and breaching Citi Research's price target of $2,800 an ounce. In a recent research note, Citi upgraded its price target to $3,000 an ounce, while keeping its 6-12 month target unchanged at $3,000 an ounce. Citi also raised its 2025 average forecast from $2,800 an ounce to $2,900 and ounce.
Bob Carlson, the head of the Retirement Watch investment newsletter and his proprietary IRA Caculator that helps investors assess whether a traditional IRA should be converted into a Roth IRA, said three key reasons explain gold's recent gains.
First, certain central banks around the world continue to diversify their reserves away from the dollar and other paper currencies by purchasing gold as their "favorite diversifier," Carlson said. Central bank purchases of gold increased since sanctions were imposed against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine and that trend is likely to continue, he added.
Second, monetary policies are becoming expansionary again in the West, Carlson continued. Most central banks have reduced interest rates and plan to keep up interest rate reductions for a while, he added.
"Lower interest rates generally are positive for gold," Carlson counseled. "In the United States, inflation never fell to the Fed's target, but the Fed cut interest rates anyway. That puts investors on edge that inflation might begin moving up again."
Third, the United States has large budget deficits that don't seem likely to decline any time soon, Carlson opined. Government debts usually are paid off at least partially through higher inflation, he added.
"The government pays the debts with currency that has reduced purchasing power," Carlson advised. "Investors worry the perpetual deficits in the U.S. could lead to this result."

Four Dividend-paying Gold Investments Glitter: RING
"I recommend moving some money from money market funds to gold mining company stocks through iShares MSCI Global Gold Miners (RING)," Carlson told me. "Stocks of gold-mining companies typically rise and fall with the price of gold, though by a greater percentage in each direction."
However, for a host of reasons, gold-mining companies weren’t participating in the gold bull market until recently. Mining stocks now have a lot of ground to make up if past patterns hold, he added.
RING has been on a roll by rising 18.25% in the last four weeks, 6.51% in the last three months, 21.99% so far in 2025 and 60.72% during the past 12 months. An investment in RING may allow investors to later ring the proverbial register with robust returns.

Four Dividend-paying Gold Investments Glitter: KGC

Five Star Trader advised its subscribers to sell half their call options, while holding the rest for additional potential profits.

Four Dividend-paying Gold Investments Glitter: NEM
Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM) is a fourth dividend-paying gold investment that gleams with the promise of additional profit potential. The stock pulled back in late 2024 but has been trending up since then.
Newmont is the largest gold miner in the world. The company, founded in 1965, is based in Denver, Colorado. It operates globally including in North America, South America, Africa and Australia.
Newmont acquired Goldcorp in 2019, which added additional mines in Canada and South America. Newmont further bought Newcrest in 2023, adding mines in Australia, Canada and PNG.

The four dividend-paying gold investments glittering with further potential are causing investors to take a genuine shine to them. Investors seeking to buy shares in equities that literally are as good as gold would benefit from additional upside ahead, especially with geopolitical risk on the rise as wars continue around the world.
