Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSEArca: GDXJ)
January Gain: 14%
Comment: A resurgence that would make even GDX blush, GDXJ has been bolstered in part by talk of low valuations attracting buyers to the small-cap mining space. Traders applying the logic that if large-cap gold mining names rebound, small-caps will do so even more strongly have also boosted GDXJ. This ETF was reverse split last year. Now it is one of 2014’s best performers.
