Still likes it. Attractive margins, continuing to diversify its portfolio. Sees 3-5% upside from here, but thinks analysts' targets will readjust as momentum builds.

Still has a high conviction in the position. Its diversification is underappreciated. Stronger underlying commodity prices support higher royalty revenue.

Fundamentally still strong, but only 5% upside means it's a potential trim.

(Note the short timeframe.)  Space has done well. No longer a cheap or overlooked name. Low risk/high margin model is still the core of the story. Lithium acquisition really improves long-term growth profile. High-quality way to stay exposed to the resource/energy theme. A hold for now, don't chase.

She likes the royalty models which don't have the risks of operating mines. Its copper, potash, etc. covers the structural growth sectors. She sees 24% upside from here. It has steady cash flow, low net debt and a weaker U..S. dollar is good for it. It scores 9 out of 10 for fundamentals.

(A Top Pick March 2/17, Up 8.5%) A high-quality Canadian company. A brilliant team that's generated substantial free cash.

Superb team. He's a founding shareholder. Generates $45 million a year in EBIT. Has great royalty income. Their allocation of capital sets them apart from other mining companies. Active in Canada and worldwide in many commodities. (Analysts’ price target is $16.42)

Brian Dalton runs this and has had a remarkable long-term success and patience with the company, which is in diversified base metals. His royalties in the 1st year, which was only $3 million, is now $60 million. Dividend yield of 1.1%. (Analysts' price target is $16.)

Continues to be very Long and a very strong holder. World-class Canadian allocators of capital and world-class land spread. Perfect practitioners of the joint venture business model, and great merchant bankers in the mining business. An absolute “must own” in a junior portfolio. The knocks against the company will be that they have a lot of coal revenues, as well as their leverage to potash.
