A Gold miner can be safe heaven in times of troubles. Barrick was up 10% on September 18, when the entire stock market was collapsing.
Gold can be a safe heaven for investors
Since I fear more of those days, ABX may be the answer.
Even numbers for it are good: P/E = 15, some growth when Gold prices are high ( Qtrly Revenue Growth yoy:19.80%, Qtrly Earnings Growth (yoy):22.50%).
