More interested in wearing gold than in investing in the yellow stuff? You're not alone. Gold-affiliated stocks are far less popular than those that represent other sectors. However, the metal's popularity has soared recently with its price climbing as high as $2,067 per ounce in August -- and even more so with the market's steep sell-off on Thursday. Even longtime skeptics, like the Oracle of Omaha himself, Warren Buffett, have taken a recent interest in gold. And if the world's greatest investor is willing to take the metal more seriously, maybe you should as well.
For investors willing to broaden their investing horizons -- or to increase their existing exposure -- there are several opportunities which are worthy options this month: Barrick Gold (NYSE: GOLD), Kirkland Lake (NYSE: KL), and the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSEMKT: GDX).
