Ready for some mind-blowing stats?

Of the 220 ASX gold stocks on our list, 164 made gains in 2020.

Of those 164, 93 made gains of 100 per cent or more. That’s almost too many to handle.

Five of then – Legacy (ASX:LCY), De Grey (ASX:DEG), Chalice (ASX:CHN), Surefire (ASX:SRN) and Auteco (ASX:AUT) — achieved magical 11-bagger status.

That’s a 1000 per cent gain. To those blessed investors we say well done and screw you.

Kidding – we’re not bitter. Much.

To put that into context, there were 44 multi-bagger (a return of 100 per cent or more) resources stocks all up in 2019 – 49 less than in 2020.

In 2018 there was just 11, and none of them were gold stocks.

These are truly special times. In 2020, gold (+25%) is poised for its biggest annual advance in a decade. Poor cousin silver has surged almost 50%.

In 2021, conditions are ripe for commodity prices — not just gold — to zoom higher, according to analysts.

“A global economy that’s in recovery mode from a COVID-19-induced slowdown, a weakening U.S. dollar, unprecedented monetary stimulus and supply constraints is providing a favorable backdrop for everything from oil to copper to gold,” writes a Goldman Sachs research team led by economist Jeffrey Currie.

This could just be the start of a “sustainable positive feedback loop between commodities, the dollar and emerging-market growth that has driven past structural bull markets.”

$US gold prices over the past year.
