Gold is often included in an investor’s portfolio as a diversification play. Income investors searching for dividends, though, might not find the generally low-yielding fare in the precious-metals space all that interesting. However, if you want that diversification and income, you can find it in Barrick Gold (NYSE: ABX), Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM), and Yamana Gold (NYSE: AUY), three dividend-paying gold stocks that are up about 100% so far this year.
