Q: Hello 5i Team
Comparing gold sector ETF
In previous Q&A, you stated it is more preferable to purchase Gold Bullion ETF in US$ as the gold trades in US$ (June 30, 2020).
1 – Is it better to purchase Canadian dollar denominated gold miner ETF vs US dollar denominated gold miner ETF?
Comparing the Major gold miner ETF, please compare as follows:
2 - iShares S&P/TSX Global Gold Index (TSE:XGD) vs iShares MSCI Global Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:RING);
3 – iShares S&P/TSX Global Gold Index (TSE:XGD) vs Sprott Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:SGDM); and
4 - Sprott Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:SGDM) vs iShares MSCI Global Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:RING).
I searched the question database and there has been no questions for the two Sprott Gold miner ETF (NYSE:SGDM and NYSE:SGDJ) and for iShares MSCI Global Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:RING).
Thank you

Q: Hi,
As a South African, I have had an affinity for Gold and Gold stocks over the years. I knew about the Krugerrand when I was just a child, lol. However, I have to say that I have never really made money from holding onto gold stocks. I own KL, AGI and BTO and except for KL i am losing money on the other two. If I can’t make money in this environment of excessive money printing and low interest rates , I wonder when I ever can. Over the years, I have been disappointed with gold stocks, with a buying and hold strategy working in my disfavour and waiting 5 years to just then break even. I do have a diversified portfolio and thanks to 5 I for some of the great ideas. Your comments are appreciated?
Thanks,
