By Frank Holmes, CEO and Chief Investment Officer

Conditions have improved for gold equities, and economic policy decisions

being made in Washington could further increase the investment appeal ofthese mining stocks.

The charts below clearly illustrate the relationship between gold-miningstocks and the federal budget.

The top chart below compares the total-return performance of theS&P 500 (blue line) with that of the Toronto Gold & Precious MineralsIndex* (gold line) going back to 1971, when President Nixon ended dollarconvertibility into gold and deregulated the price of gold.

Disclosures

Please consider carefully the fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and

expenses. For this and other important information, obtain a fund prospectus

by visiting www.usfunds.com or by calling 1-800-US-FUNDS (1-800-873-8637).

All opinions expressed and data provided are subject to change without notice. Some of these opinions may not be appropriate

to every investor.

The Eastern European Fund invests more than 25% of its investments in companies principally engaged in the oil & gas or banking

industries. The risk of concentrating investments in this group of industries will make the fund more susceptible to risk in these industries

than funds which do not concentrate their investments in an industry and may make the fund’s performance more volatile. Foreign and

emerging market investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuation and less public disclosure, as well as economic and political

risk. By investing in a specific geographic region, a regional fund’s returns and share price may be more volatile than those of a less

concentrated portfolio.The Nasdaq Composite Index is a capitalization-weighted index of all Nasdaq National Market and SmallCap

stocks. The S&P 500 Financials Index is a capitalization-weighted index. The index was developed with a base level of 10 for the

1941-43 base period. The S&P Volatility Index (VIX) shows the market’s 30-day volatility, and is a widely used measure of market risk.


Disclosures

The Toronto Stock Exchange Gold and Precious Minerals Index is a capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance

of the gold and precious minerals sector of the TSX 300 Index. Gold funds may be susceptible to adverse economic, political or regulatory

developments due to concentrating in a single theme. The price of gold is subject to substantial price fluctuations over short periods of

time and may be affected by unpredicted international monetary and political policies. We suggest investing no more than 5% to 10% of

your portfolio in gold or gold stocks.
