Overall, 2014 was a good year for the
markets, but there are some notable exceptions, particularly when it
comes to commodities companies.
Barrick Gold Corp.
(TSX:ABX)(NYSE:ABX), for one, is down about 23% over the past 52 weeks,
and that includes the 26% it has gained since the start of 2015. Cameco Corporation
(TSX:CCO)(NYSE:CCO) is another stock that has been battered over the
past 52 weeks, declining 28.8%; 6% of those losses were experienced
since the start of 2015.
If you want to make money investing you
have to buy stocks when they are relatively low. Unfortunately, this is
easier said than done. When stocks are under pressure, there is a reason
for it, and this reason usually scares most investors off. While it is
basically impossible to predict the low point for any stock, these two
companies have a great near and longer-term picture, even though 2014
was a year that both these companies would rather forget. (more)
