The price of gold and gold-related stocks have fallen considerably over the last year as investors turn to the equity markets for returns and the US dollar appreciates in value. Over the last year, gold (GLD) and gold miners (GDX) have fallen -11% and -37.6%, respectively. That pain is due to continue with the S&P 500 (SPY) and Russell 2000 (IWM) hitting new all-time highs today as the US economy continues to show improvement.
