Mining
It's the ideal tool to help you make quicker, more informed decisions for managing and tracking your investments.

You might be interested:

BUY
Ivanhoe Mines vs. Ivanhoe Electric?

Depends on if you're a speculator or investor. Electric has changed mining by using their Typhoon geophysical technology to apply to deposits around the world, so this is a spec buy. That technology could be game-changing. The Mines is far more senior with existing operations in Congo and South Africa, so it's an investment.

DON'T BUY

One of the most expensive mining companies, with valuation along the lines of Google. He targets $7.68, so more downside, but would buy at that level. Will higher costs impact their next earnings report?

HOLD

A rough couple of months on the heels of a truly spectacular decade. Owns one of the most profitable copper mines in the world. No longer cheap. Political risk. A major mining company in the making, so he keeps holding.

BUY

Big fan for a long time. Wonderful stock, and this should continue for people who can psychologically adjust to the perceived, and real, political risk of operating in the DRC. Has met and exceeded all guidance for a very long time.

HOLD

Has taken profits recently given recent share performance.
Remains substantial shareholders.
Expecting increased production going forward - lots of growth left.
Political risk in Africa.
Excellent management team with Robert Friedland.

DON'T BUY

Political risk given assets located in Africa.
Demand for copper not slowing down.
Better names to own in sector.
Good time to buy - bottom on market. 

DON'T BUY

Often considered a takeout candidate to enhance copper exposure for upcoming energy transition. Building in DRC, the 4th largest copper complex in the world. The location has always been an issue for him. Geopolitical risk seen in discount to peers. 

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Company generating large amounts of cash. Operate largest copper mine in the world. Bringing on highest grade Zinc mine soon. Investor appetite for risk is low given operations in Africa. Currently owns shares in the company. Very strong management and board.
TRADE
Has three world class deposits. With a 14 billion market cap it is not considered an undiscovered stock. Has started production in the Congo - second most important discovery of copper in the world. Copper deposit grades are in the 6% range which is very high. The average world grade is 1/2 of 1%. Also has a zinc deposit moving into production and the largest platinum deposit in the world. There are political risks. Has taken profits but still holds.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
It's too pricey and the stock will struggle to hold amazing summer gains. Buy at $8-9. It's a decent company, though. Too much optimism in this name now. The easy money has been made in copper.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 05/19, Down 11%) He's recommended this many times. He's VERY long Ivanhoe. They mine copper, zinc, platinum and palladium. But a slowdown won't be kind. It's well-funded by Chinese and Japanese investors. They have three world-class mines. You should continue to hold this.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 06/18, Up 39%) He's picked this many times. They have a high-quality platinum palladium deposit in South Africa and the highest-grade zinc in the Congo; and likely the best copper discovery. Yes, there's a lot of political risk in the Congo and South Africa, so that's a warning.
DON'T BUY
Has a $6.50 target, but doesn't like the locale of its mines in Africa--the geopolitical risk is too high. A spec. buy at his firm, but he himself wouldn't buy it.
DON'T BUY
Why is a major shareholding liquidating? The issue is the trade wars and the impact on commodities -- particularly copper. They had found a great copper project and they have found another good one lately. Investors are interested in the exploratory phase, but do not want to hold it for the development issues that can stall and delay projects. There is no M&A opportunity here.
