A Virtual Long Call Option on Gold with TGD
Güncellendi
TGD came up in my Deep Value screeners as one of the highest ranked companies in the screener, so I took a look to see what they were about. Timmins Gold Corp is obviously a gold mining company, so right away I knew their success or demise was closely tied to whatever the price of gold did. Before going into the fundamentals, let's take a look at the charts.
Since late January of this year, TGD has been consolidating nicely around the 0.35 - 0.42 price levels. I liked the length of the consolidation, and the overall chart seemed pretty well set up for a high run breakout if the price action dictated. Liking the chart, I headed over to check out the fundamentals of this company to see if there could be any substance to the breakout, or if the breakout would even be justified.
TGD is trading at 3.77 times earnings, 0.94 times book value, and is trading 3.59 times its free cash flow. Not bad ratios, and it clearly makes this a deep value play within the gold sector. Taking a look at some of the return percentages for the company I was pleased to find that TGD had an Operating Margin of 30%, ROA of 20%, ROC of 25%, and a 21% ROI. Pretty impressive. Next, I took a look at their cash positions, because I love investing in companies with a ton of cash (RGR is a perfect example of this idea of tons of cash, no debt, and it paying off). TGD's Current Ratio is 3.01, more than enough cash to cover its debts.
Taking everything into consideration, this is virtually a long call option on the price of gold without the theta (time decay). I am looking for it to break that consolidation pattern, perhaps the 0.46 price level, at which I would go long, and place my stop right below the consolidation pattern at 0.30. Once again, I want to stress that although the company appears to be solid fundamentally, they are very correlated to whatever the price of Gold does. If gold goes south, TGD will most likely follow. However, if you're long term bullish on the price of gold like I am, this could be a way to expose yourself to gold without having to invest purely in gold or gold futures.
As always, critiquing and disagreements on my theses are encouraged.
All the best,
RC

TGD has just been bought out by Alio Gold and is in the process of changing symbols to ALO. For all of those that might have been rambunctious enough to take this idea and run with it, congrats on the 900% gain!This is the benefit of Net - Net stocks with strong balance sheets, but TGD was different in that it was a play on the expected rise in the value and price of gold.
As always, shoot bullets in my ideas going forward.
All the best,
RC
