TDG Junior Gold Index Update

Our junior gold index contains 20 stocks that are weighted equally. The median market cap is around $300 Million. We changed the construction of it in 2008, 2011 and recently. Some juniors fail, some grow out of junior status and some are acquired. Hence, a junior index is constantly changing.

Our junior index rallied strongly out of the December low, even exceeding the 2013 summer high. Yet, the index now looks headed for a test of that December low.

This chart plots Gold and our index against Gold. It has been a good leading indicator as it made a new high in 2006 before Gold. It also peaked in spring 2007 before Gold and in early 2011 before Gold. Has it now bottomed before Gold? Only time will tell.
