Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd. (OR.TO)

If this company can accomplish their strategy, this is what he thinks would have the lowest risk gold exposure to what is a sensible plan to double his money in gold. It's not perfect, but this is what he has at the moment. Dividend yield of 1.4%. (Analysts' price target is $19.)

If you have a 2-year timeframe, this should treat you well. An extremely competent, but an extremely aggressive management team. There was a recent distribution of stock which he thinks was overhanging the market. Also thinks management, in terms of their financial public relations, is split among 3 or 4 issuers rather than just focusing on this company, which has hurt the stock.

Osisko Gold (OSK-T) owns a fair amount of acreage in the Noranda trend with some pretty interesting early stage gold prospects. An interesting speculation, but not the sort of thing he invests in.

(A Top Pick May 10/16. Up 4%.) A year ago, this company had a core value of $700-$800 million with $70 million potential cash flow. They have tons of cash.

This is not a bad name. It is a little more concentrated on fewer assets. He prefers Franco Nevada (FNV-T) for its diversification.

As a conservative investor, smaller gold companies would tend not to make it into his portfolio. Gold and interest rates tend to have an inverse relationship. If you believe rates are going to increase, it generally puts downside pressure on gold.

Has a lot of time for their people. They have royalties on the Osisko Malartic mine as well as on the Eleonor mine. The team behind this are top quality in that they can originate projects, finance projects, build and sell projects, with royalties on 2 very high-quality mines. He likes this company.

For the right speculator, this is a very good name. You are coming into the right environment where their merchant banking skills and exploration skills will suit them extraordinarily well. A very strong balance sheet and a great income statement, and they are people who understand Canadian capital markets as they relate to precious metals.

He still likes the royalty model and thinks he is getting this at half its valuation. They have money to spend and things they can do.

(A Top Pick March 6/15. Down 18.53%.) He just got stopped out. Has been one of the worst performers within his sector picks. He still has warrants that will run for another 5 years, but won’t be buying this one back.

You have a peak and then a fat line, but you had increasing volume. Compared to XGD-T it is not as strong as the index.

He likes the streamers (royalty companies) because he thinks they are going to be a much safer play than the actual producers. A good way to diversify within the sector.

Management has a big ownership in the company. This is the newest royalty company on the block. They have the Canadiann Malartic, sort of 5% NSR, which will give them $35 million a year. 2% royalty on a number of Cdn assets including Kirkland Lake Camp Have a huge tract of land in Mexico, which he expects they will hive off and keep a royalty on.

A royalty on the Malartic mine that was spun out of Osisko Mine (OSK-T). His problem with this is that it is over NAV, which royalty companies do. Right now, you could buy a few juniors at about half that valuation, so you really have to like the royalty side.
