"This is attracting attention and bringing forth questions of whether gold stocks can play catch up to gold prices," Mr. Lettieri, an economist at National Bank Financial Inc., said in a recent report. "Despite a 50 per cent rise in gold prices since 2010, gold stocks performed poorly and have disappointed many over the past two years." Producers of gold continued to be hit with rising expenses for energy and labor that are eating into their profits, he adds. The underperformance can also be blamed on other problems such as political and operational risks.
