Three Income-Paying Gold Stocks to Purchase as the Precious Metal Peaks 09/13/2024 | | | You may have heard about Boeing planes falling apart midflight and catching fire. But, according to analyst Dan Ferris, there's something much darker going on here that could threaten Nvidia, the Magnificent 7, and the entire U.S. stock market.
Click here for the full story. Click Here... | | | | Three income-paying gold stocks to purchase as the precious metal peaks feature companies whose share prices could rise in the next 12 month.
BofA Global Research is forecasting a rise in gold prices during the second half of 2024 that could reward patient investors. The three dividend-paying gold stocks to consider purchasing may climb as geopolitical risks mount due to Russia's intensified invasion of Ukraine and the Oct. 7 attack and murder of 1,200 civilian in Israeli at the hands of Hamas militants that began a war in the Middle East.
Gold traditionally performs well during geopolitical upheaval, inflation and U.S. dollar depreciation, so the precious yellow metal often is purchased as insurance during tumultuous times. Gold is regarded in many parts of the world as a way to shield savings from a possible bank crisis or even government confiscation of traceable personal assets in certain countries. In addition, a new report by BMO Capital Markets suggests that the price of gold is no longer driven by real interest rates.

Three Income-Paying Gold Stocks to Purchase: Recommendations
Several investment firms are recommending the purchase of gold, wrote Frank Holmes, the chief executive officer and chief investment officer of U.S. Global Investors (NASDAQ: GROW), a provider of eight no-load funds and two exchange-traded funds that feature precious metals, natural resources and emerging markets. One example is XIB Asset Management, a Canadian hedge fund that soared over 200% in the first two years of the pandemic, and now expects that gold and uranium will outperform if rates are cut.
That view may seem counterintuitive, especially with rates still above 5% and the stock market at an all-time high, but analysts at JPMorgan forecast that the metal will benefit later this year from Fed rate cuts and heightened demand for the shiny asset. | | | One of America's top retirement income experts reveals what he's calling Wall Street's best kept income secret:

Canada's B2Gold (NYSE AMERICAN: BTG) (TSX: BTO), a low-cost international senior gold producer headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, offers the best dividend yield of any miners engaged in the exploration and extraction of the precious yellow metal. Founded in 2007, B2Gold operates gold mines in Mali, Namibia and the Philippines, has a mine under construction in northern Canada and is pursuing development and exploration projects in countries such as Mali, Colombia and Finland.
Despite the company's major pullback in price during the past 12 months, it announced positive exploration drilling results on Jan. 31 from its Antelope deposit at the Otjikoto Mine in Namibia. The Antelope deposit, comprised of the Springbok Zone, the Oryx Zone and a possible third structure, Impala, is approximately three kilometers south of the Otjikoto Phase 5 open pit. The Antelope deposit could be developed as an underground mining operation, which could complement the expected processing of stockpiles at the Otjikoto mill from 2026 through 2031.
B2Gold drilled 37 holes of roughly 20,715 meters at the Antelope deposit in 2023, with a plan to nearly double the meters drilled in 2024. Discovered in 2022 using deep drill testing on three-dimensional models of magnetic inversion data, the Antelope deposit will receive most of B2Gold's US9 million 2024 exploration budget for Otjikoto.
In 2023, B2Gold completed a US$3.3 million exploration program in Namibia, with exploration drilling focused on its ML169 mining license that Otjikoto. The majority of that drilling targeted the high-grade gold mineralization of the Antelope deposit, the company reported.
As the drilling expenses indicate, B2Gold is spending millions of dollars a year to explore and find new mines to propel its growth. The company's share price dropped 29% in the past year, so investors so far have not seen progress to bid the shares upward.

Three Income-Paying Gold Stocks to Purchase: HL
Hecla Mining Company (NYSE:HL), a Coeur, d-Alene-based producer of silver, zinc and gold, has incurred a stock price drop of 39% in the past year but has some positive developments ahead. An update will occur when Hecla releases its fourth quarter and full-year 2023 operational and financial results after the market close on February 14, 2024.
One emerging opportunity is increasing interest in renewable energy. Silver, zinc, and other metals are needed across the supply chain for the renewable energy sector.
Renewable energy, electric vehicles and innovations in battery technology are critical to meet goals for a reduced carbon future, Hecla officials said. Demand for responsibly sourced metals is growing, and Hecla plans to help deliver what is needed, they added.
The drive to decarbonize relies increasingly on silver. The precious metal has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity compared to any alternative, and it is vital in producing renewable energy and electrical vehicle components, Hecla's leaders explained.

A gold royalty company that Mark Skousen, PhD, has recommended profitably twice in the past is Franco-Nevada Corp. (NYSE: FNV), of Toronto. His most recent profitable trade occurred in the Fast Money Alert trading service that he partners with stock picker Jim Woods to lead. That recommendation between December 2022 and May 2023 produced a return of 5.68%.
Mark Skousen, head of Forecasts & Strategies and scion of Ben Franklin, talks to Paul Dykewicz.
Jim Woods, a former U.S. Army paratrooper, co-heads Fast Money Alert.
Mark Skousen, PhD, a Presidential Fellow and scholar at Chapman University, wrote in his February 2024 Forecasts & Strategies investment newsletter that gold remains $2,030 an ounce. Skousen continued that he expects gold to rise in the next year.
FNV offers a large and diversified portfolio of cash-flow producing assets. Its business model provides investors with gold price and exploration optionality while limiting exposure to cost inflation.
Franco-Nevada is navigating a problem with its mine in Panama that it operates with a partner, First Quantum Minerals Ltd. The Cobre Panama mine currently remains in a phase of preservation and safe maintenance with production halted. As a result of the current suspension of operations, Franco-Nevada is conducting an impairment analysis and plans to disclose the findings in its 2023 year-end financial statements.
First Quantum has provided an update about its position regarding the next steps required for the responsible environmental stewardship of the Cobre Panama mine site. In addition, First Quantum announced it intends to pursue all appropriate legal avenues to protect its investment and rights. In turn, Franco-Nevada plans to pursue all appropriate legal avenues to enforce its rights and protect its investment in Panama.
The uncertainty is a drag on Franco-Nevada's share price. However, Franco-Nevada announced on Tuesday, Jan. 30, that its Board of Directors raised its quarterly dividend to US$0.36 per share payable on March 28, 2024, to shareholders of record on March 14, 2024. The increased dividend will be effective for the full 2024 fiscal year. The 5.88% increase from the previous US$0.34 per share quarterly dividend marks the 17th consecutive annual increase for Franco-Nevada shareholders.
Gold royalty companies have less risk than mining companies. The bulk of its revenue comes from gold, silver and platinum. The company does not directly develop mining projects or conduct exploration and drilling. Partly due to the shutdown of the mine in Panama, Franco-Nevada's share price has fallen 25.5% in the past year, 14.09% in the last three months and 1.67% in the past week.
There is no rush to buy the shares before Franco-Nevada provides an update in its 2023 10-k about the status of the mine in Panama. If the mine is restored to operation, the financial prospects of Franco-Nevada should be much improved.

Gold Coins May Appeal to Investors
Aside from recommending gold stocks, precious metal coins and funds offer alternatives. Consider purchasing gold and silver coins from a reliable dealer, such as Van Simmons of David Hall Rare Coins, of Santa Ana, California.
By far the best value in holding physical gold would be the older pre-1934 gold $20 Liberties and Saint Gaudens, Simmons advised. For the last seven or eight years, there has been a big influx of the importation and repatriation of the coins back to the United States from foreign lands, Simmons added.
"If you just look at the extra fine grade $20 Liberties -- struck from 1850 to 1907 -- for the last 40 years or so, they have always had a big premium on them, Simmons said. "It typically ranged from 75% to 125% over the spot price of the spot price of gold."
Dividend-paying Gold Funds Offer Another Alternative
Woods recommends a gold fund for subscribers of his Successful Investing investment newsletter. That position is profitable, and Woods is encouraging his Successful Investing subscribers to hold onto it for further potential gains.
Bob Carlson, a former pension fund chairman who now heads the Retirement Watch investment newsletter, is recommending gold though a trust. In the February 2024 issue of Retirement Watch, Carlson advised his subscribers that gold continues to deliver "solid returns," even though it had a slow start in the initial weeks of 2024.
"I believe gold's recent strength is due largely to international tensions and not economic fundamentals, Carlson wrote.
Bob Carlson, who heads Retirement Watch, answers questions from Paul Dykewicz.
"If I'm going to own a gold fund, it is going to be a fund that's 100% backed by the physical metal," said Michelle Connell, president and owner of Dallas-based Portia Capital Management, LLC.
Despite the availability of investing directly in gold mining companies that are publicly traded, they can be "very volatile," Connell counseled. Such gold mining stocks can fall with the whims of the stock market, as well as face the ill effects of geopolitical threats that can disrupt gold production in certain countries, she added.
Michelle Connell leads Dallas-based Portia Capital Management.
"If someone is an investor who wants access to physical gold, they're going to pay in excess of $2,000 an ounce," Connell said. "That is not convenient for most individual investors."
An exchange-traded fund (ETF) would make more sense since it is "economically accessible," Connell continued. If an investor needs to get in and out of gold quickly, an ETF allows purchases and sales inter-day, she added.
Perth Mint/Asset Strategies International Provide Another Path
Another path to invest in gold is offered by Rich Checkan, president and chief operating officer of Asset Strategies International, a full-service, tangible asset dealer in Rockville, Maryland, close to where I live. Asset Strategies International offers precious metals, pre-1933 U.S. gold and silver coins, as well as world and ancient coins.
For investors who seek to buy precious metals, Checkan said "one of the safest" ways to do so is through the Perth Mint Depository Distributor Online (PMDDO) program. This program enables investors to buy and sell gold, silver and platinum securely and directly online seven days a week and 24 hours a day at some of the lowest premiums in the industry, Checkan added. The precious metals also can be stored, in some cases, for free at the Perth Mint.
"Just like investors can log into their brokerage account and buy and sell ETFs, investors can do the same with their PMDDO account," Checkan said.
Once logged into an account, investors see both their live cash and bullion balance, and have the option to purchase, sell, or withdraw their metals. When clients make a purchase or a liquidation through the program, the metals are automatically added to or withdrawn from their account. Clients who want to take delivery of their metals should receive their shipment within 10 business days.
"Looking at the worst case for the PMDDO, there is a 1% premium to gold or silver when buying and a 1% discount to gold or silver when selling at the minimum transaction of $50," Checkan said.
Aside from a straight price comparison, the Perth Mint program helps to mitigate the risks of liability, security and delivery, Checkan continued. The world's only government guarantee provides Perth Mint clients a uniquely safe storage option, Checkan added.
"All in all, PMDDO is the clear winner when compared to other forms of physical precious metals ownership," Checkan said. "When compared to ETFs, it compares quite well, but delivers so much more aside from premium."

Geopolitical Risks Worsen
In the Middle East, the United States responded militarily on Feb. 2 to the killing of three American service members in Jordan on Sunday, Jan. 28, by striking 85 sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iranian forces and Iran-backed militants. U.S. military forces hit targets at seven facilities involved in attacking U.S. personnel in the region, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said. The targeted facilities included command and control operations, intelligence centers, rockets and missiles, as well as drone storage sites.
"Our response began today," President Joe Biden said in a statement. "It will continue at times and places of our choosing. The United States does not seek conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world. But let all those who might seek to do us harm know this: If you harm an American, we will respond."
The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) continues to take out Hama leaders who are hiding in neighboring Gaza after orchestrating the Oct. 7 attack against civilians in Israel that killed 1,200 people. A potential hostage exchange between Israel and Hamas is under discussion but remains elusive.
Gaza's Hamas-run Health Ministry reported at least 27,100 people have died there since the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) began a military response to the Oct. 7 murder of men, women and children living there, along with the kidnapping of around 250 people from Israel to the Gaza Strip. In addition, the Hamas Health Ministry reported more than 65,000 people have been wounded in Gaza since the Oct. 7 invasion of Israel.
The IDF successfully carried out a raid at a hospital in Gaza on Monday, Jan. 30, where a Hamas leader was located. That leader and two other Hamas militants at the hospital were killed by Israeli forces.
With world leaders expressing concern about the deaths and escalating violence in the region, the International Court of Justice ordered Israel on Friday, Jan. 26, to limit deaths and damage but did not demand a cease-fire in the Palestinian territory.
A lasting peace remains uncertain in the Middle East where militant groups like Hamas in Gaza have a goal of annihilating Israel and killing its people. Based on reports from the Hamas-run Health Ministry and other sources, more than 90,000 people have been killed or injured since Hamas militants sparked the latest war in the Middle East with its Oct. 7 attack. The Hamas infiltration of Israel caused the IDF to respond militarily to try to eliminate the threat rather than await the next one without attempting to stop further incursions.
