Top 10 Cheapest Stocks To Buy For 2014

Gold is on the rise. The commodity has seen a dramatic surge over the past two months since hitting bottom in late June.

Investing in the metal itself or in a fund like SPDR Gold Trust Shares (NYSE: GLD) are both great ways to play this trend.

But considering the historic lows that we've seen in gold producers, even bigger gains could be made by investing in gold miners.

One of the easiest ways to do this is through the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDX).

Right now, GDX is the cheapest it's been since 2008.

David Einhorn, the billionaire fund manager, is one of the biggest GDX shareholders. His hedge fund Greenlight Capital currently owns 8.8 million shares, making him the fund's fifth-largest institutional shareholder.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Jim Royal]

  To recap, Cincinnati Bell owns a 69% stake in CyrusOne (NASDAQ: CONE  ) , which is worth over $1 billion now. It intends to monetize this asset some time following a lock-up period that ends in January. CyrusOne is growing quickly, and revenue could easily climb 20% this year. This is Cincinnati Bell's best asset and the rapid deleveraging ��I expect debt could be slashed by 70% in the next year or two -- should help boost free cash flow markedly.

  For example, Digital Realty (DLR) is the undoubted leader in the data storage industry, with a market cap of $8.3B. Its other three competitors, DuPont Fabros (DFT), CoreSite Realty (COR) and CyrusOne (CONE), have market caps of $1.5B, $930M and $430M respectively. In addition, with the level of complexity involving Digital's business making it immensely difficult for companies to operate data centre facilities, the company is in a good position for future growth. The company also has a wide network of 595 tenants (significantly more than other competitors), including CenturyLink (CTL), AT&T and Morgan Stanley (MS). This further secures its long term business prospects and also its dominance over its competitors.
