Why are the gold stocks lagging the price of gold now? Nugt is 34, it should be up around 40 based on last September's gold price.
In Fast Moving Markets NUGT actually moves MORE that 3X the underlying asset
In range-bound or choppy markets NUGT will decay and lose value even as the underlying asset remains unchanged
This is Called Slippage
Russ - so there is NO HISTORICAL relationship between this type of trading instrument and the underlying asset
In trending markets you will be able to look at 'short-term' correlations only-in choppy or range-bound markets FORGET ABOUT IT!
To properly answer your question there is the HUI/GOLD ratio chart - miners have dropped slightly in their ratio to gold since September:
