RE:Comparison You missed one.
6 months
GDX +33.67%
EDV +27.02 %
Why 6 months? Since that's the period following the temporary " bad news pile on" of CEO firing, bogus lawsuits and temporary pull back in production associated with sale of mines in riskier jurisdictions ( while awaiting the startup of new mines) These events impacted the 1 year results severely
Savvy investors bought shares in the low twenties in Feb 2024 (about 5 months ago) and are now up almost 50% . ( also proving random stats are worthless in proving a point)
The issues appear to be mostly resolved now -so watch it pull away from GDX from here.
Thanks for pointing out that it is currently undervalued relative to GDX and gold, and there needs to be a further catch up trade which will reward new investors from here
