ST. LOUIS -- After three years of trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange, Central Gold-Trust joined its sister the Central Fund of Canada on AMEX today under the symbol GTU. With gold up 2% for the week, the fund’s manager hopes to ride the positive sentiment in a new market.

"The Trust has achieved this significant milestone to broaden its market ability and will continue to soundly steward the assets entrusted to it by investors," said Stefan Spicer, president and CEO of Central Gold-Trust, in a press release.

Central Gold-Trust [TSX: GTU.UN, GTU.U; AMEX: GTU] invests all its assets in bars of gold bullion, with "the primary investment objective of achieving long-term appreciation in the value of its gold holdings," according to the company.

This reduces the amount of gasoline sold by indexers to just under 50 percent of their holding instead of our tabulation of 73 percent.
