The Canadian gold stocks on our list should be on every bargain hunter’s radar
SmallCapPower | June 26, 2017: An old investing strategy carried out by Benjamin Graham was to purchase shares in companies trading at less than net current asset value, also commonly referred to as working capital. The theory is that you are purchasing the company’s most liquid assets at a discount, so if you were to buy the company and liquidate its assets, you would make a profit. Graham’s strategy has proven to work; however, he suggests creating a diversified portfolio of companies trading below working capital. Today we have identified three such companies, Canadian gold stocks trading at less than net current asset value.
