Agnico-Eagle Mines (AEM) has garnered considerable attention from analysts who see it as a strong investment in the gold sector. Many experts highlight its low-cost production capabilities, solid operational performance, and strategic assets located in politically stable regions, mainly Canada. Several analysts have reiterated its status as a top pick, particularly during recent pullbacks in gold prices, presenting an opportunity for investors. Most commentators are optimistic about the long-term outlook for gold, viewing AEM as a reliable option amidst global geopolitical uncertainty and inflation concerns.

DON'T BUY
Losing their mine in Québec to ground failure essentially has caused them to lose about 10% in production plus their premium valuation. To get that back, takes years. Doesn't feel it will go higher than competitors as gold prices go up.
DON'T BUY
Had a little bit of problem in Meadowbank, one of their projects but seem to be straightening it out. Production profile looking out over the next few years he can’t see the same amount of new production coming as some of their competition. All of the mining companies, particularly the gold, have been hit on the costs side. This wouldn’t be his first choice.
HOLD
Well-run company, but it's gold and copper, which is the reason it is not acting so well these days. As long as there are the concerns from Europe copper will be vulnerable. Probably a little late to bail if you own. When it starts to move, it moves quite well.
COMMENT
This was a management team that was really well respected. Then they had a major problem with the mine and had to write it off. They're in the doghouse. Doesn't see this as a takeover target. There is definitely tax loss selling right now so there may be an opportunity from a trade perspective. If gold goes down, his company will go down even more.
BUY
Had some operational issues lately. Historically has always traded at a premium to the sector. Management is very capable. Now that it has pretty well lost its premium, not a bad time to start looking at it.
BUY
Free cash flow of about $570 million. Production costs went from $500 range to $570. Suspended operations in the LaRonde mine but Meadobanks is starting to kick in. Good management.
COMMENT
3rd quarter was a big disappointment for investors and the stock has been punished quite a bit. People are expecting to see some growth from production but perhaps more modest compared to their competitors. Not his 1st pick in gold.
SELL
Owned until a week ago. He is patient if the company misses on a production number of delivering on a mine in time, but they had 3 issues recently. So he is out. He would prefer to own a different gold mine right now.
BUY
Traded at a premium and then a bunch of bad luck. The street has started taking the premium out of the price. Still sees $55-$60 targets that Bay Street has on it. You are in a ‘show-me’ stage for a while.
SELL
A great day for Canadian Resource names. They wrote down a key asset by about 10% of its value. They have one mine and something goes wrong. You need to diversify in the sector. If there is something wrong with the rock, then you can’t do anything. They can’t get the gold out of there. He sold it when it got expensive. It has nowhere to go. It is too complicated to say that today it is at the right price.
PAST TOP PICK

(Top Short Oct 8/10. Total Return 18.97%.) A trading stock. Looking at a long-term trading range you’ll see it goes up and down between $50 and $70.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick July 6/10. Up 13.17%.) Had an incredible rally last fall and got too expensive so switched to Yamana (YRI-T)..
BUY
Pay more attention to Technicals than fundamentals. Broke a major down trend leg and started an up trend leg. It’s not above the 40-week moving average.
TOP PICK
(Top Pick Apr 29/10, Down 1.5%) New mines coming on line. Alaska mine had snags but are now running. It will be quite Accretive. <$500 an oz costs. Very profitable. He sees very little risk.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick July 6/10. Up 4.86%.)
