<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Gold prices tend to move lower at the early stages of a stock market <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sell-off,</FONT> according to one gold expert. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The Expert </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">George Milling-Stanley, head of State Street
Global Advisors&#146; gold strategy. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The Thesis </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When faced with the prospect of margin calls, many investors and traders aren&#146;t interested in selling their stock positions at depleted levels,
Milling-Stanley said during CNBC&#146;s &#147;Worldwide Exchange.&#148; Investors are instead turning to gold, or &#147;the thing that comes in useful when other things go down,&#148; Milling-Stanley said. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Gold &#147;does its job,&#148; which implies investors will return to buy it back &#151; so the current weakness in gold and gold-related products like the
SPDR Gold Trust (ETF) GLD 0.15% is likely to reverse, he said. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">While there never is a &#147;bad time&#148; to be buying gold, now is certainly a
&#147;perfect&#148; to be buyers of the commodity, he said. The pressure in gold has been to the upside, which creates an ideal scenario for investors, Milling-Stanley said. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Every portfolio would benefit from a small strategic allocation to gold, and I don&#146;t think that the particular entry point is necessarily the thing
to focus on.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Some experts are saying there is a relationship between bitcoin and gold, but Milling-Stanley said he isn&#146;t seeing any evidence
of that. Gold is among the least-volatile instruments, but bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have proven to be &#147;exponentially bigger,&#148; which implies none of the cryptocurrencies are serious competitors to gold, he said. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Price Action </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Shares of the Gold Trust ETF were up
0.29&nbsp;percent to $125.15 at the time of publication Thursday afternoon. </P>
