FYI: Three major gold miners will report earnings in the next two days. And investors can be forgiven for wondering how much it really matters.
As weary investors have known for years, the metal itself or financial equivalents like SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) are usually the better bet than the leading companies who mine for the metal. And that's even the case when the price of the metal is rising, which theoretically, at least, is supposed to be a time when the miners outperform the metal.
