Jaime CarrascoFortuna Silver MinesFVI.TOPAST TOP PICKApr 29, 2021

(A Top Pick Mar 27/20, Up 124%) The acquisition is great, as a silver company buying a gold company is like marrying above your status. Likes management. Current noise provides a great entry point. Once gold is over $2000, and silver over $30, profitability will negate concerns about the acquisition.

You might be interested:

SELL ON STRENGTH

Would recommend selling at current prices. Does expect higher prices. Better options for investors in current markets. 

BUY
FVI vs. AGI

Likes both, but slightly prefers FVI, since it's so deeply out of favour. He's less conscious of political risk than most investors. Both are well run. Both have successfully brought Tier 2 deposits into production on time and on budget with efficient operations. 

BUY

Cheap stock price given large assets.
Believes company with be able to work through political problems.
Historically a good operator. 
Sees increased cash flow going forward. 
Very large silver assets. 

DON'T BUY

The stock is hitting resistance. Gold and silver have done very well. To know where the price of a commodity is going, look at companies that use the commodity. Look at FVI's share price, and that's been rallying. Don't add positions in gold and silver now, because mid-May enters seasonal strength in the USD--bad for Canadian minerals. But look at these names in late-June. Be patient.

HOLD
FVI vs. AGI

He likes both. Has had its run of problems. Relationship between gold and silver favours silver. Plus, it's an industrial metal. EV industry will put upwards pressure on demand for silver. Drawdown of silver inventories have been unbelievable.

BUY
If we start to get a move in precious metals, silver stocks tend to outperform gold stocks. Stock's very cheap. Long way to go to a peak.
RISKY
Very cheap for those who can take on a bit of risk. Stock's suffered due to underperformance in Argentina and African franchise expansion. These concerns are starting to turn around. Very good implementers.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 11/21, Down 56%) Market did not like their acquisition in Africa because of political risk. He's very bullish on the outlook for gold and silver, which should do much better. Add more at these levels.
HOLD
Quite a bit of leverage going forward. $5.50 target. Mexican community has voted to renew its license. Projects in Peru and Africa will be accretive. Likes management.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
The amount of silver in Fortuna is limited now since it is a diversified company. It got hit dramatically since the market needs to re-understand what the company is. At current level, it looks pretty good. Likes it and is probably good value here.
BUY

Merging with Roxgold That acquisition was unpopular with FVI shareholders, but it nicely adds gold to FVI and exposes them to the Ivory Coast of Roxgold's mine. The fair market value is much higher than current stock levels.

BUY
Silver. It is a very cheap stock. There have been concerns about their African acquisition, but they feel it was a smart move. The important thing going forward is to get a hold of good quality reserves in the ground, so it was in fact a smart move. They also got a mine on the Ivory Coast which has good, high quality reserves. Long term it was a smart move for the stock. (Analysts’ price target is $9.84)
BUY

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 21/20, Up 92%) Still holds it. They are building out a mine right now in Peru. This mine will be one of the most profitable silver mines in the world. It continues to be a top pick.
