An earthquake damaged a major gold mine owned by Alamos Gold, causing their stock to see its biggest single-day drop in years. However, this leaves the stock heavily oversold as investors panicked out of their positions.

## Idea

Natural disasters cause sudden panic, and Wall Street usually overreacts by dumping the stock immediately. While the earthquake is a real setback for Alamos Gold, the underlying value of the company's other mines and the gold they still have in the ground hasn't evaporated. When a solid gold mining stock plunges this hard in a single day, it often bounces back as cooler heads prevail and bargain hunters step in to buy the dip.
