U.S. Global: Resources and emerging markets set to 'GROW'

More

Investors interested in natural resources or emerging global markets can consider one of the top performing funds run by U.S. Global Investor. Or, suggests, Mark Skousen, they can buy shares in the fund management company.

The advisor has added shares of U.S. Global Investors (NASDAQ: GROW) to the buy list of his Turnaround Trader. He notes that last year, the stock was in his portfolio and after doubling, the position was stopped out.

Skousen now explains, "When earnings slowed, the stock fell out of bed, declining more than 40% from its high. Is it time to get back in? The evidence is growing that U.S. Global is back on its fast track mode."

The company, he notes, recently reported strong earnings. Revenues increased 30% to $58.6 million, and profits jumped 32.7% to $13.8 million for the year ended June 30.

Assets under management, he points out, grew 34% to $4.6 billion, and outside fees rose 60%. He states, "In every financial matrix, GROW is growing faster than its competitors. It even doubled its dividend to 2 cents a month, or 1.2% per year."

Skousen asks, "What's not to like? Amazingly, the momentum players and manipulators decided to dump the stock, and GROW declined after the news." He continues, "I talked to CEO Frank Holmes, who said there's nothing fundamentally wrong. With gold moving higher and Asian stocks booming again, U.S. Global is attracting investor interest again."
