Buy gold or gold miners? You don’t have to dig deep to hit paydirt. If you want to bet on gold in coming weeks and months, you may want to favor gold-mining shares over gold bullion. AFP/GETTY IMAGE Gold bullion — physical gold GC00 — has outperformed gold-mining company shares over the past three years by one of the largest margins in decades. Gold recently hit a new all-time high above $2,200 an ounce, while the PHLX Gold/Silver Index XAU is below where it stood three years ago — as you can see in the chart below. This is good news for gold-mining shares, since historically they have performed well following periods in which they have significantly lagged bullion.
