The price of gold has increased by just under $200 per ounce since the middle of May, to a six month high of $1,736. The strength in the price of the commodity has been driven to a great degree by the rounds of Quantitative Easing here at home, and overseas in Europe and some parts of Asia and South America. One of the results of higher gold prices, according to penny stock picks expert Peter Leeds, is that many of his newsletter's Hot List penny stock picks that are in the precious metals sector will enjoy increases in sales and profits, and theoretically higher share prices.

New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 01/04/2013 --Given the rising gold prices over recent months, which have increased by more than 12% since May, precious metals miners and producers may see a benefit to their operational results. This will be the case according to penny stock picks expert Peter Leeds, who anticipates improving sales and earnings results from among his Hot List gold production penny stock picks.

"This trend has played out exactly as predicted, and don't anticipate that it is over just yet."
