HOLD
They purchased the balance of their project from the government. It is trading very cheap. They do not have major issues with China. It will be highly sensitive to global iron ore prices. There have been shut downs in Colombia, which has benefited them. It would be a hold for him as iron ore prices might weaken going forward.
BUY
It was going to be a top pick. He has done extremely well. Iron ore prices have moved up quite a bit. It is the right time and right place. Cash flows will continue to rise. It is one of the best companies in the resource side.
HOLD
CIA bought cheap assets from a bankrupt competitor and at the same time iron ore prices have taken off this year. CIA has had a great run, so stick with it. Iron ore prices are artificially high, and will pull back eventually. Until then, CIA is a cash-flow machine. Don't buy this now, because iron prices may be peaking now. A good company.
TOP PICK
They hold Quebec assets. They just reported a quarter that blew away expectations. The iron ore price has bounced back, and CIA produces high-grade iron ore, so they fetch a premium price. Also, transporatation costs have declined in the last month. If China comes back into the fray, CIA will enjoy huge growth. (Analysts’ price target is $3.33)
BUY

WAIT
CIA vs. LIF Iron ore prices are pretty high, and it's not in short supply. If you're more aggressive, buy CIA. If you want to sit back and collect the cashflow, buy LIF. Be cautious on buying them in the short term, due to price weakness.
WEAK BUY
Hard commodity to play. Inflation means it's not a bad time to buy. A buy, with a $6 target. Eventually we'll get out of Covid, and iron will be needed. He'd rather go with copper, or silver, that's where the biggest leverage is going to be.
WEAK BUY

On a downslide to the bottom of a not-bad trading range. Sticking his neck out, but thinks it's a buy right now, with potential of $6.40. Bottom of the range is $4.40 and if it goes below, there's a lot of nothingness to the $1-2 range.

Profit more than doubled on a year-over-year basis coming in at $126.46M. The board approved the company's $470.7-million direct reduction pellet feed (DRPF) project at its Bloom Lake iron ore complex in Quebec which is expected to be in service in the second half of 2025. This is a solid quarter from CIA, nicely beating both revenue and EPS estimates and shares are up ~4% thus far on the day.
