Barrick Mining (ABX-T) has received mixed reviews from experts, highlighting both its positive aspects and notable concerns. Some analysts commend its geographic diversification and copper exposure, ranking it high on fundamentals and considering it a solid investment for the current economic climate. However, there are significant reservations regarding its management of shareholder capital, with comparisons drawn to its competitor, Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM), which is perceived as a safer bet due to its mining jurisdictions. While the recent agreement with Newmont brought some optimism, the stock has shown volatility, which leaves some experts wary about its ability to sustain growth, especially considering the backdrop of fluctuating gold prices and broader economic uncertainties. Overall, there is a recognition of gold's long-term value, yet skepticism regarding Barrick's ability to capitalize on it effectively persists.

BUY
News that the new mine on the Argentina/Chile border will be coming into production at a cost of about $40 an ounce, which will reduce their overall costs from $405. Huge reserves. With wage and equipment prices coming down, it is becoming more economically viable. Good entry point.
TOP PICK
Gold is going to be under a bit of pressure in the next month or 2 but should start to recover later in the year. This company is the global leader in gold and have a lot of great projects but has lacked growth. Has some growth projects coming on in the next few years. Just announced a huge project in Chile/Argentina.
WAIT
Traditionally there is a ratio of bullion being 4X to 6X of gold stocks. This went up substantially last fall to a record of 11.7X. That was a great time to purchase gold stocks. It is still trading above 7X. Because of this, he is expecting gold stocks to outperform gold seasonally between July 27 and the end of September.
BUY
Got more bullish on Gold recently. Adding more to his exposure recently. Good industry proxy. Wont be the best performer, but it’s the biggest and easiest to play.
SELL
Does not think Gold is going up. He is shorting ABX
BUY
The most defensive of the major golds. You could start to accumulate it at these levels for a 2-3 year hold. The value looks the best amongst the golds.
BUY
Bought in fall because it moves in opposite direction of stock market. Concerned about eventual inflation in US economy after 2011. All the money being printed will result in higher inflation. Expects inflation highest since recession of early ‘80s. Buying as a hedge against inflation.
COMMENT
He is over weighted on gold. This one has a hedge program on, which is why some people are not as fussy on it. If you want a pure play, Goldcorp (G-T) is a direct play. Costs are roughly the same. (Also owns Goldcorp and Kinross (K-T).)
COMMENT
Very positive on gold. Longer term he expects it to get to the $1300 level. Largest gold reserves in the industry. Prefers Eldorado (ELD-T), which is more of a pure gold play.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 21/08. Down 2%.) Bought shares and sold June $46 Calls at $1.75. Turned out stock was not above strike price so he kept the stock. Would have continued writing Call options because the gold sector is an area where covered option writing is a superior strategy compared to just owning the gold stock because they have a lot of the delay but don't go very far.
TOP PICK
He wants to own Barrick but not at these prices. Wrote an April $25(US) Put giving him $2.45. If Barrick drops below $25, he is forced to buy it, which he is happy to do. (You can't do it now because of stock price but you might want to sell a $30 Put option which would give you about $1.)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 8/08. Down 27.3 %.)
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Really likes the gold sector. Still the 900 pound gorilla in gold.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 26/08. Up 25.2%.) Held in very nicely last year. Best of the golds and given the current situation, he thinks you have to have golds.
BUY
Gold stocks have advanced a long way. This one is a double off the bottom. What you are really buying is ounces in the ground and these guys have 130 million ounces of resource.
