The small cap gold stocks on our list would appeal to the precious metals bargain hunters
SmallCapPower | May 12, 2017: The U.S. stock rally and strengthening of the U.S. dollar following the election of Donald Trump resulted in a drop in gold prices at the tail end of 2016. Gold has since rebounded and is up 10% YTD, due to geopolitical uncertainty in key countries throughout the world. Furthermore, the S&P 500 is trading at a historically high PE ratio, which many investors see as a big concern. If you share this outlook, it may be a good time to get into gold as the price of gold typically rises during a market crash. Today we have identified five profitable small cap gold stocks with big upside potential, as they are trading at a significant discount to Net Asset Value (NAV).
