Experts have mixed views on Barrick Mining (ABX-T), primarily weighing the company's strategic moves and the broader gold market dynamics. Several analysts have expressed concerns regarding Barrick's management of shareholder capital and their lagging production growth compared to other gold producers, with a notable preference for Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM) due to its safer mining jurisdictions. However, some see Barrick as a quality investment with tier-one assets and a strong strategic position, particularly in light of rising gold prices that could bolster earnings. The potential spin-off of non-core assets is viewed as a positive move aimed at isolating less risky ventures. Overall, while the enthusiasm for gold remains strong, especially with ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, Barrick's performance and management choices have led to a cautious outlook from some analysts who suggest looking to other gold names for better returns.

TOP PICK
Very bullish on gold. Has excellent internal growth through a number of different projects. Valuations on a price to cash flow basis are extremely attractive. You will have to be patient with this.
DON'T BUY
The biggest gold producer in the world. He is very bullish on gold. They have had the best-run year to date of any of the golds. A lot of this has already been priced in and he would go further down the chain.
TOP PICK
Not bullish on gold, but this was one of the better stocks in the last 2 weeks. A big play with huge liquidity and it is well off the low in June. If the big money is going into this sector, it will probably go into this stock.
TOP PICK
With last week's sell off, he ran a filter for volume increase and a close above the prior week's low. Well above its February sell off. Feels the gold sector will be coming on. Likes the gold sector.
BUY
All of the big cap gold stocks have done nothing for investors over the last year. Investors are now waking up that relative to the commodity price, the senior golds are now undervalued.
COMMENT
Gold is one of the poorest performing sectors. He likes the valuation of gold. In the resource sector, he tends to play the smaller cap stuff. Good company.
COMMENT
Has difficulty understanding the pricing of gold, so does not own any golds. This is probably one of the best in this sector.
BUY
This gold company is different from other gold companies, because they're earnings have not been hit.
TOP PICK
Fairly cheap, and it's fair market value has held up fairly well. Best management in the gold industry around the world. Is the best of the golds and should be the anchor of your gold portfolio. This one's book value is 1.8 (he likes 1 or 2 so it fits right in).
BUY
His model price is $40.30, which is a 28% positive differential. It has made it to his top 10 of his Canada Focus.
DON'T BUY
The whole gold sector has been disappointing. Prefers Goldcorp (G-T), which has stronger production.
TOP PICK
His strategy is to buy the stock and sell an Oct $34 call option. The option in Oct is worth $2.15. Buying the stock at $33.20, he writes the $34 call option, he gets $2.15 immediately (taxed as a capital gain). This reduces his cost base.
COMMENT
If you believe in gold, this is the place to be. Will probably be the biggest and the best. Not a buy-and-hold, but could be good for agile investors.
SELL
Has been lagging the group. There have been continual disappointments on the cash flow.
BUY
If you want to own a really safe, senior gold producer, there's nothing wrong with this one.
