CAPS Rating:

A gold mining company in the world in terms of production, reserves and market capitalization.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Barrick is a short-term buy here to ride from $45 to $50. For those who read my blog, you know that I issued a warning on Barrick on January 28, 2008, on the basis of some huge insider sales of stock.

Plain and simple....market saturation of an ever accumulating element. Also Gold is becoming more and more obsolete in practicality in todays modern world. It just aint what it used to be. Bottom line. Also Too many geese laying the golden eggs, so to speak. There's just too many companies in the b...More

Recs 0 (ABX) rlvanegdom (53.01) Submitted: 5/08/08 2:49 PM : Start Price: $39.32 ABX Score: -0.83 I purchased this stock on April 29 at @38.48 per share. I have decided to invest 10% of my portfolio in gold stocks and this stock will be one of three stocks that will eventually make up that amount. I also own shares in Goldcorp and Fidelity Select Gold mutual fund. At some point I expect to sell the mutual fund and buy another gold stock probably NEM. Barrick Gold is the largest gold company so it is a logical choice for one of my three stocks in the gold sector. It has outperformed the S&P over the last 5yr,3yr,and 1yr time frames. The last 3 months it has underperformed and thus has provided a good entry point for me to get into the stock. I expect the Dollar to continue to fall in value and therefore wish to protect myself from the probable bout of inflation I see on the horizon. The downside I see is a commodities correction happening which would be difficult for gold in the short term but longer term I would expect it to do well. I expect the overall market to decline by another 10 to 15% and when that happens I will be ready to put the rest of my money back in the market.

ABX Score Leader

Rating: 99.38
ABX Score: 113.13

Gold is relative to the strength of the US Dollar. As I believe the dollar will continue to decrease, ABX should increase its revenue as gold prices will increase. But the market sentiment forces me to remain neutral for the short-term.
