Gold Stocks Are Starting to Outperform

In 2023 and 2024, gold prices trended higher. That trend has continued this year, with gold prices rallying over 20%.

In prior years, gold mining companies have been conspicuously absent from that rally. But in 2025, they’re starting to move up – and at a faster pace than gold:

Gold mining stocks should perform better than gold during a rally. Why? Imagine a gold company has total cash costs of $1,500 per ounce.

At $2,500 gold, they make a profit of $1,000 per ounce. If gold rallies to $3,500, a 40% rally, the miner’s profit goes from $1,000 to $2,000 per ounce – a 100% jump in profits.

That’s the power of investing in gold mining companies. Aside from the first half of 2016, this is the best setup for gold mining stocks since the early 2000s. It’s not too late to buy gold stocks if you haven’t done so yet.

P.S. We’ve been pounding the table on gold since the inception of the Grey Swan Investment Fraternity. And it’s been nearly 10 months since we released our initial deep-dive research into gold.

While our estimates for gold moving to the five-figure range may have seemed wild last year, with the continued rally and ongoing central bank gold buying, our research only holds up with the passage of time.

Given that gold could rally not just to $10,000 but more than twice that, it’s still a reasonable price, especially if you need to buy some more of the metal as portfolio insurance against a Grey Swan event like a financial crisis or renewed inflationary spike.

Through the first 41 trading days of 2026, the S&P 500 traded within a 2.7% range — the narrowest start to any year since 1928. The first 41 days of 2008 spanned roughly 35%. In 2020, the range ran near 15%. Even the placid 1950s never opened this tight…

Since the Iran attack began, global markets have been chaotic. Despite some wild intraday swings this week, the U.S. stock market has held up well. When bombs go flying, capital moves from frontier markets to safer shores. And even though the U.S. has been the one to aggressively move against Iran, capital that was going to foreign markets has shifted back to New York.

Ever since the re-election of Trump, the blue tribe has been searching for another event it could use to repeat its success with BLM. They thought they had finally found it with ICE (its enforcement actions produce numerous excesses it could exploit).

In normal times, the Chinese operate a quota system for refined product exports; this week, the throttle tightened. And even though they are Asia’s third-largest exporters of “energy,” the country still draws close to half its imported crude from the Gulf, including nearly all Iranian shipments.
