6 Gold and Mining Stocks to Watch

Even with the market in a frenzy, gold is still in demand. Especially now that the Feds cut rates by 75bp, you can expect the trend to continue. I have claimed GLD to be my true love in the past because of its supreme run, and this is just one example of a solid play on gold.

With that said, here are 6 different stocks that are involved in gold, or gold and silver mining that should be on your watch close watch list.

Goldcorp, GG Stock is looking quite juicy right now at just above $35 a share, with the stock hitting a high last week of $39.94. If the 50 day moving average can start to uptrend again, watch out. As of this post GG stock rests at $35.06.

Kinross Gold, KGC stock has moved nicely as well since early September, and just yesterday the stock found great support at $19 and its 50 day moving average. KGC is a buy above $21.50 and easily has potential to move up to $25 if Gold stocks overall continue to press higher. As of this post KFC sits at $20.20

Buenaventura Comp, BVN stock has seemed to find support at its 50 day moving average, but has fallen under key support area $60 which makes me skeptical. Last week the stock peaked out near $71, and as of this post is at a last of $58.32.

Last but not least everyone has to know about the Streettracks Gold Trust, GLD ETF. $86 is the key level here for the bulls and this ETF has been a favorite since it was trading in the low $70s. Look for intraday resistance between $88 and $90. GLD as of this post is at a last of $87.89.

    Ya know I completely forgot to put it in there to be honest! I don't know how I missed it, it is one my favorites as well.

    ok, AUY was downgraded and on top of that a lot of news buzzing on the South African power outage, it still closes up.....hmph, I'd continue to watch this one, I'm looking for any dips currently, but it seems strange to me how this stock is totally unaffected
