He likes materials, but pared back on gold last March. All materials moved up and are now consolidating. AEM went parabolic in early 2026, so no surprise it's pulled back, and the chart is now on the historic trendline. It's an okay play if you're patient. Maybe wait for it to bounce off this trendline. He expect gold to move up in a few months.

Biggest and best gold producer in Canada. Very low political risk. Loves its recent acquisitions. Pullback is buyable. Gold price is cooling off after meteoric rise last year, but bull run is not over.

Parabolic increase in January, things got extended. He reduced then. Gold bull markets advance in stages, with corrections lasting ~3-5 months. We're now 3-4 months into that. He's been rebuilding. Next leg should be a strong leg higher.

Long-term investors should just buy and hold.

A dividend pick. Dividend are one of the best, easiest ways to hedge against inflation. This is a dividend grower, increasing each year by nearly 202% annually over the past 5 years. The total return over 3 years is 230%.

He recently added, but still underweight gold.

She doesn't like gold now. She bought this is in the $60-70s. Its mines are in low-risk areas, like Canada and the US. Gold used to be a safe haven, but this has recently reversed with gold now trading as a risk-on stock. The space got crowded and became speculative.  Tread carefully. She is not adding her holding. AEM is the best gold stock,.

Revenues are 99% gold, 1% silver. Its 10 mines reduce single-mine concentration risk. Jurisdictions have negligible political risk. Management has well-deserved reputation of credibility.

Met production guidance in 9 of last 10 years. Beat street earnings estimates in 29 of last 30 quarters. Loves Finnish acquisition of last week. Great entry point. Yield is 0.92%.

Really likes it. OK valuation. Safe jurisdictions give it lots of tailwinds. Gold itself has had a big run, and looks to have broken that. Investors are likely taking profits from the miners. Hold, then add if gold sees serious momentum and breaks to new highs.

(Note the shortish timeframe.)  When a stock gets to 10% of a portfolio, they peel it back. Still first- or second-largest holding in portfolios. Only knock on it today is valuation, but that's the quality speaking. Quality is how you make $$ in the long run.

Still a great place to be.

Good long-term hold. Over the short term, vulnerable to ups and downs in gold price. It's become the "gold star" gold company to own. Management shines, good acquisitions.

In general, keep your position in gold under 5%.

He just bought this. Is bullish mining now. Superior margins, low costs and low risk jurisdictions.

Has come off with the price of gold. This name, along with AGI, is the best-run gold company in Canada, if not in the world. Both continually replace mines with fresh, high-quality reserves. Pullback is a chance to buy.

Has doubled over the last 12 months, so consider taking some off. Very well run. In good jurisdictions. Despite the run, his firm is a big fan of gold -- more to go because of USD weakness.

With profits, consider going into bullion itself (such as CGL).
