Gold had a good year in 2009. Tom Winmill’s Midas Fund had an even better one.

The $125 million fund, which invests in companies that mine or process metals or other commodities, rose 83 percent last year.

Its average annual return was a decline of 4.8 percent over three years and a gain of 13.5 percent for five years.
