AEM

BUY

Interesting business model. Down since July. Hit by stall in gold rally. With weakness in US dollar, he'd have thought that gold sector would be stronger. Gold is undervalued here, and has a ways to run. Good way to play gold.

BUY

He's bullish on gold. He plays it through FNV, the best way to get exposure to the commodity and exploration, while insulating yourself from financial and geopolitical risk.

TOP PICK

Great quarter. A royalty company, so avoids much of the commodity risk. Gold is in a structural uptrend right now. Perennial all-weather gold name to own in the sector. Yield is 0.71%. (Analysts’ price target is $211.51)

BUY

HOLD

TOP PICK

The go-to gold stock. They don't mine, but are a royalty company of gold (and other precious metals) miners. As the price of gold rises, miners drill more and more royalties FNV receives--this is crucial. Operates on a strong business model. FNV outperforms the gold mining index in 9 out of 12 years. (Analysts’ price target is $206.58)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 23/19, Up 59%) It is one of his core holdings. The dividend structure will continue to grow going forward. He continues to hold it.

COMMENT

Gold producers? He prefers to own the Royal Canadian Mint (MNT) and Sprot (PHY.US) and Franco-Nevada (FNV). He likes the physical element. He would also consider the Junior Miners ETF (GDXJ). At some point, there will be a role for gold to help the economy recover.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 14/19, Up 108%) He suffered a little pullback when some of their mines were forced to close briefly. He likes their royalty business strategy. He continues to like it. Be careful with today's valuation. His go-to gold name.

HOLD

It is a streamer. It has done really well. It is more likely to increase within its period of seasonal strength. It is a good holding for longer term. Don't sell it. We are close to the period where it can do well.

COMMENT

Gold vs HUI If you look at HUI, trading near $198 and gold at $1654, there is a massive discretionary between their values. HUI (Gold Bugs ETF) is trading as if gold is trading at $1000. Company earnings are improving, so he thinks you could begin building positions. He would consider buying FNV here as a starting point and look to build a diversified portfolio. He would stay away from ETFs, if they don't own the shares in the underlying companies. He thinks you should own 20% in the gold sector.

COMMENT

He does not like this ETF. He would prefer to own the shares, not just holding derivatives. This can cause discounts to NAV at times. He would prefer to hold solid producers like FNV or ABX. If you want an ETF, he would pick HGGG.

BUY

The biggest player in the gold royalty space. He put this in his parent's account. It has steady cash flow from gold, silver, copper and oil. As gold prices continue to grow, the increase in earnings will continue to be paid to investors. He would be a buyer here for 5-10% of your portfolio position. Yield 1%

WEAK BUY

Gold Gold is a natural hedge to bad news. It's possible for gold to make new highs. He owns FNV-T, but they are a royalty firm, not a producer. His clients own 3-5% actual gold in their portfolios which is a reasonable hedge. Higher than that, he does not advise.

HOLD

He generally does not trade gold stocks. But this is a good one as it pays a royalty. It has always been expensive, trading at 40 times EBITDA. It actually is a defensive stock as well as it would trade well if the market were to fall. Yield 1%
