Gold Reserve Inc.

Gold Reserve Inc. is an AMEX listed security that has been trading in a range between $3.33 and $7.61 over the past year. With 40,784,520 shares outstanding, a recent price of $5.48 gives a total market capitalization of $219,420,722. While there are certainly larger companies, Gold Reserve Inc. has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, Gold Reserve Inc. created $-0.31 in earnings for every share outstanding.

Gold Reserve Inc. is currently priced by the market at 0.00 times last year’s earnings. Many trading multiples around the world are quite attractive these days, but don’t be fooled. A Price to Earnings ratio of 0 simply means that the security didn’t make any money last year.

With a share price under $50 a share and earnings per share below $1 a share, Gold Reserve Inc. is unlikely to be an interesting value proposition.
