12 Best Gold Stocks Under $25

In this article, we will take a detailed look at the 12 Best Gold Stocks Under $25. For a quick overview of such stocks, read our article 5 Best Gold Stocks Under $25.

Gold prices slipped recently amid indications from several Fed officials that the central bank won’t show haste in cutting interest rates as inflation continues to remain stubborn. Gold prices reacted to this development negatively as historically a low-rate environment bodes well for the precious metal. However, long-term investors believe gold remains a solid option since sooner or later the Fed will begin to cut rates and there are several other catalysts that make gold stocks worth buying.

According to a report by World Gold Council, gold consumption in 2023 increased by about 3% to 4,899 tons, fueled by massive central bank buying and demand from OTC markets.

Demand of gold in China has been a significant catalyst for the precious metal as people turn to the precious metal because of its intrinsic value amid a decline in property prices and other investment options. A Bloomberg report earlier this month cited Nikos Kavalis, managing director at consultancy Metals Focus Ltd, who said that the difficulty to move your money out of China and lack of alternatives are giving a boost to gold in the country.

Some other catalysts for gold stocks like Barrick Gold Corp (NYSE:GOLD), Kinross Gold Corporation (NYSE:KGC) and B2Gold Corp (NYSE:BTG) include investors’ wish to continuously diversify their portfolios for troubled economic times and stay invested in safe-haven assets. A report by State Street Gobal Advisors said that gold has historically delivered positive risk-adjusted returns in the past, with a 7.7% compound annual growth rate in USD terms since 15 August, 1971.

But does strengths in gold prices help gold stocks? A report by investment management company VanEck analyzed some data to show that gold prices are directly linked to gold stocks.

“Gold stocks are supposed to outperform the metal when gold’s price is rising. Their leverage to gold justifies outperformance. For any given move in the price of gold, operating cash flow generated by these companies increases (or decreases) by a much greater percentage. Take Alamos (8.06% of Fund net assets), for example. The company estimates that a 5% increase in the price of gold (about a+$100/oz move), would translate into an increase of almost 30% in their free cash flow in 2024. “

However, the report noted that over the past two years there has been a disconnect noted between gold prices and gold stocks, mainly due to central bank buying and several other factors of temporary nature.

“We did not fully sell any positions during the third quarter. We purchased four new names: Avista Corporation (ticker: AVA), Farmland Partners (ticker: FPI), Equity Commonwealth (ticker: EQC), and SSR Mining Inc. (NASDAQ:SSRM). We believe these opportunities materialized because higher interest rates are disproportionately impacting investor sentiment toward certain sectors, even as capitalization-weighted, tech-heavy indexes have powered through the headwinds.

The company is selling at a meaningful discount to its tangible book value and our calculated net asset value.

Osisko Gold talked about its Q4 guidance in a latest earnings call:

“By the end of 2024, we can also expect both Namdini and Tocantinzinho gold projects to be added to this list. Along with Osisko’s high precious metal exposure, especially diamonds no longer serving as a major GEO contributor, our company continues to distinguish itself from pure leading jurisdictional exposure as it relates to both production and NAV to what Osisko defines as Tier 1 mining jurisdictions, which include Canada, the United States and Australia. Recent global events have only served to underpin our belief that maintaining a high exposure to both Tier 1 and very well-established mining jurisdictions where mining has been a key industry or part of the overall culture is extremely important. As stated in our press release last night, after joining the team and subsequently going through a full portfolio review, in addition to factoring events that have transpired over the past years since this company last published it’s 2023 guidance and previous five-year outlook, the company has updated these numbers to reflect what we believe to be achievable ranges.

With respect to our 2024 guidance of 82,000 to 92,000 GEOs, it goes without saying that there is a significant void in terms of GEOs that has been left by the shutdown of or not. Production improvements and new mine startups, plus the CSA copper stream coming online for us on June 15th are expected to partially offset this reduction. However, cornerstone asset, Canadian Malartic is guided to be flat to maybe modestly down year over year in large part, because of Ignyta’s decision to defer the reintroduction of progression lower grade ore to increase mill throughput, which is now not expected to happen until 2025 In 2024, Mill throughput is expected to be sourced primarily from the Barnat pit, as well as the Odyssey underground and to a lesser extent, with total throughput estimated to be 52,000 tonnes per day in 2024 versus a nameplate capacity of 60,000 tonnes per day.”

China’s terrifying internet “Master Key”… and the one microcap that could stop them

Published on December 18, 2024 at by Insider Monkey Staff

In August 2024, news outlets around the world revealed one of the most shocking data breaches in recent history.

Approximately 2.9 billion records, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, mailing addresses, financial data and, distressingly, Social Security numbers, were stolen when Coral Springs, Florida, firm National Public Data (NPD) suffered a massive cyberattack. The company confirmed that the breach, which happened in December 2023, resulted in the potential leaks of data in the summer of 2024.

Nearly every day in the news, we hear about yet another damaging data breach or ransomware attack that puts valuable data — including yours — into the hands of hackers. And the number of attacks is soaring — up 30% year over year according to the latest numbers.

As bad as this is, it’s a day at the beach compared to what’s coming.

That’s because hostile nations across the globe — including Iran, North Korea, Russia and Communist China are going all-out to develop a breakthrough technology that will unlock what I call the “Master Key” to the Internet.

If they succeed in harnessing this groundbreaking “Master Key” technology, the consequences could be catastrophic.
