If you are looking at investing in gold, you might consider a company like Newmont Mining Corp. (NEM)
Gold got up almost to the all time high today, before falling $ 30.
Mutual Funds......IMO, most Mutual Funds have so much money to invest they have to spread out and buy many different companies. They typically own ~ 1/3 "good" stock, 1/3 average stocks and 1/3 below average stock. With money invested like this, the fund will normally perform about the same as what the stock market does.
