A Gold miner can be safe heaven in times of troubles. Barrick was up 10% on September 18, when the entire stock market was collapsing.

Since I fear more of those days, ABX may be the answer.

Even numbers for it are good: P/E = 15, some growth when Gold prices are high ( Qtrly Revenue Growth yoy:19.80%, Qtrly Earnings Growth (yoy):22.50%).

Barrick has little debts and gives out some dividends: 1.4% yield is not much, but could help make a choice.

Barric has reserves of 124.6 million ounces of gold, worth about $100 Billion

6.2 billion pounds of copper worth about $18 Billion

    I think Gold and Gold stocks are a fantastic investment right now (at the right price). This sounds like a very good idea!

    […] It was a good idea to buy shares of this gold miner. In September 2009, I wanted to play defensive seeing the beginning of the recession. […]
