Can anyone suggest a few good Gold Companys to invest in now...? Some companys with a upside potential ?

Thank you

I've just been looking into this myself. You want to avoid companies that have been hedging gold, such as Barrick. The best recent list I've seen is one put together by Clive Maund which he calls "Top of the Pops."

I own physical gold myself, so I haven't been keeping too close an eye on gold stocks. Just be sure to buy one that is unhedged. Check out some of the gold forums on the internet - there must be a million of them. I think that gold will be to 2003 what tech stocks were to the early 90's. Get on board for the ride up!

Just IMHO: Harmony Gold, Golden Star Resources, Caledonia Mining, Durban Roodepoort Deep, Randgold, Samex, Glamis, among others. Of course that depends on a rising gold price. I also think gold is still cheap, but if it goes down, the miners will really suffer.

GLG and GG are solid North American companies. GG pays dividend. South African un-hedged include GFI, HMY, and DROOY. GFI and HMY pay dividend. CALVF, which this guy mentioned in his article looks to have nice upside potential. All South Africans should be considered with the caveat that nationalization is an underlying threat.

GG - Goldcorp
GLG - Glamis
GFI - Goldfields
HMY - Harmony
DROOY - Durban Roodepoort Deep
CALVF - Caledonia
