Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 44

Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD), one of the world’s largest gold mining firms, has been a go-to name for investors seeking stability amid inflation and market volatility. Cramer expressed a clear preference for the stock last year, specifically pointing to the strength of its leadership.

“Barrick gold, one of the largest gold miners on the planet, my go-to pick because of the CEO Dr. Mark Bristow, who’s one of the best operators in the industry.”

Since that call, Barrick Gold shares have risen 17%, as the stock benefited from a resurgence in gold prices and strong production metrics.

However, Cramer is still not fully satisfied with the performance of Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD). Here are some of his comments from the 4^th of March and 3^rd of April:

“It’s killing me that that thing isn’t moving. It’s not doing what I thought it should. So that’s why I’m saying pivot to Agnico Eagle. That’s the one I like. Agnico Eagle.”

“Golds are working. I’ve got Barrick. I think Agnico’s the better one.
