Stock Market Crash and Gold Stocks: The X-Factor Poised to Separate the Wheat from the Chaff Now
The novel coronavirus is spreading fear and panic on a global scale. Over the last few days, the Dow Jones Index crashed almost 3,000 points lower. Yesterday alone, the leading stock market index lost 1,190.96 points (-4.42%), making Thursday, February 27, 2020, the biggest daily point loss in the history of the Dow Jones.
On the positive side, this is not the first time that the popular stock indices are in crash mode, pulling down almost everything including gold stocks. A look into the past, however, shows that gold stocks may only fall for a limited period of time during such panic-driven selling waves. In the last major stock market crash of 2008, gold prices and gold stocks only briefly fell to their knees and were able to quickly make up for their losses. The gold price started a strong upward trend after the 2008 crash and appreciated by 175% (from $700 to $1,923 USD/ounce) within only 2 years. During that time, gold stocks were amongst the biggest winners.
