5. BEST VALUE GOLD STOCKS
Value investing is a factor-based investing strategy in which you pick
stocks that you believe are trading for less than what they are
intrinsically worth, usually by measuring the ratio of the stock's price
to one or more fundamental business metrics.
A widely accepted value metric is the price-to-earnings ratio (P/E
Ratio).
Value investors believe that if a business is cheap compared to its
intrinsic value, in this case as measured by its P/E ratio, the stock
price may rise faster than others as the price comes back in line with
the worth of the company.
These are the stocks with the lowest 12-month trailing price-to-
earnings (P/E) ratio.
