Gold Stock's a Big Winner in the Bear Market By Anna Prior Updated April 12, 2009 12:01 a.m. ET The market was generally horrible, but William Staab's stock pick glittered: Gold miner Randgold Resources rose 32% in the six months through March, making Mr. Staab, a Realtor, the winner of Sunday Journal's 33rd Investment Dartboard Contest. "I think it did well because of the current state of the economy," which saw anxious investors rushing into gold as a potential safe haven, says the Albuquerque Journal reader. Mr. Staab was one of those investors -- he bought some shares in Randgold right before the contest began. "I wanted to put my money where my mouth was," he says.
