Despite gold’s recent correction, investors should still look into ways to get into the precious metal as it will soon see a rally, said Doug Roberts, chief investment strategist at Channel Capital Research.

“If you look at the long-term trends with gold, when real interest rates are negative—that is, short-term interest rates are less than the rate of inflation—that’s where gold’s 'outperform' comes,” Roberts told CNBC.

With the Fed pumping money into the economy, Roberts said the value of the US dollarwill eventually decrease, which should lead to gold’s outperformance.

In the meantime, Mark Travis, CEO of Intrepid Capital Funds said he is in favor of companies that generate free cash-flow yields.
