JAG a frustrating one right now.... I've been fortunate to have traded it selling some on the spikes and buying on the crashes (bought down to 4.15 on this latest crash) but for sure not heading the right way. Probably needs new management to get it going but the gold is there and if POG heads to where I thinks it's heading JAG will be a big winner even the with inept fools presently running the company....

3 Stocks Near 52-Week Lows Worth Buying
fool.com

Just as we examine companies each week that may be rising past their fair value, we can also find companies potentially trading at a bargain price. While many investors would rather have nothing to do with companies tipping the scales at 52-week lows, I think it makes a lot of sense to determine whether the market has overreacted to the downside, just as we often do to the upside.

Here's a look at three fallen angels trading near their 52-week lows that could be worth buying.

Stay the course
One rule of investing I often need to remind even myself is not to allow short-term emotions to get in the way of long-term profit potential. Back in March, Japan suffered one of the most devastating earthquakes on record, taking countless lives and crippling many of the nation's largest corporations. Months later, many of these companies are still reeling from supply chain issues and negative near-term sentiment. The thing to remember is that Act of God phenomena are unpredictable and often have only a short-term effect on a stock's price

Gold nugget
We don't often think of finding value in the gold sector, but that may be just what investors are getting by buying into Jaguar Mining (NYSE: JAG ) . Perhaps the only other metal miner even cheaper than my small cap to rule them all choice Golden Star Resources (AMEX: GSS ) , Jaguar is rapidly approaching its book value and trades at a mere 5.2 times Morningstar's estimate of Jaguar's forward earnings.

The reason Jaguar shares have taken such a hit relates to the company's preliminary third-quarter update released last week. In that update, Jaguar reduced its full-year output guidance from 200,000 ounces of gold to a range of 155,000 to 163,000 ounces. Despite this shortfall, there are still myriad positives. Gold production is expected to be up 20% over last year, quarterly revenue hit a new record, and cash operating margins of $806 per ounce are also a record. Jaguar should remain profitable even with its recent snafus, making this a potentially bargain-basement value in the gold mining sector.

Common sense will prevail
Sometimes a stock's precipitous fall can leave investors wondering when common sense will prevail.

Foolish roundup
Keeping a long-term view on things and blocking out the short-term white noise is the key to seeing that these companies offer investors solid value at these levels. Keep your emotions out of your portfolio and good things are likely to follow.

I feel totally out of sync with the markets right now.

Looking at the COTS and the stances of the central banks, you just had to know that "eventually" gold would go back up, but I dithered on pulling the trigger. Now I've missed today's really nice move.

Kind of feels like late 1999 where you knew a Nasdaq bubble burst was inevitable, but you held your nose and your stocks for big bucks.
