Gold Equities: Value or Value Trap?
Tweet Send to a Friend
According to Ron Stewart, a researcher at Dundee mining research, gold equities are cheap. On a price basis, gold equities are below their 5-year norm. 1-year valuation also suggests "compelling" valuation, thinks Steward.
Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDX) is lower by 31 percent year-to-date. This compares to the SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE: SPY) which is higher by close to 5 percent.
Stewart favors Goldcorp (NYSE: GG), along with Canadian miners Osisko, Alamos, Dundee, Kirkland Lake.
A number of gold miners are set to report earnings this week, including Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE: ABX) and Newmont Mining Corp. (NYSE: NEM).
Last week an analyst at TD said Goldcorp production may grow 30 percent by 2014 and Barrick production may fall 3 percent.
