Welcome to Episode #415 of the Value Investor Podcast.
Every week, Tracey Ryniec, the editor of Zacks Value Investor portfolio, shares some of her top value investing tips and stock picks.
Interested in investing in gold but want to buy the gold miners?
With earnings on the rise due to record high gold prices, the gold miners, as a group, are cheap.
Screening for Cheap Gold Mining Stocks
Tracey ran a screen to find the cheapest gold miners. This meant the gold miner had to be trading with a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 20 or less.
It also had to have a top Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy), #2 (Buy), or #3 (Hold).
This screen returned 15 stocks, including several that were trading much cheaper than 20x.
These three gold miners are trading with forward P/Es under 12.
