Andrew Bary's "Why Gold Mining Stocks Are an Unalloyed Bargain" points out that both Barrick Gold Corp GOLD and Newmont Mining Corp NEM have made big acquisitions. See why Barron's thinks their shares now offer an opportunity for investors to profit when the yellow metal regains its luster.

In "Five Ways to Play a Growing Health Sector," Daren Fonda makes the case that stocks of companies that make diagnostic health products, such as BIO-TECHNE Corp TECH, have had a strong run and, with increased demand and plenty of money for research and development, more gains could be on the way.

Real estate investment trusts that specialize in office properties have badly lagged the overall REIT market, according to "Office REITs at Bargain Prices" by Lawrence C. Strauss. But be careful, the article warns, because not every region is equally attractive. Find out how Barron's believes Kilroy Realty Corp KRC and others may fare.
