Franco-Nevada Corp. (FNV) has garnered substantial acclaim among analysts for its strong position in the royalty business across precious metals, base metals, and to a lesser extent, gas and oil. The company boasts a solid execution track record with no operational risks and no debt obligations, which strengthens its financial stability. Despite a relatively modest dividend yield of 0.84%, FNV has demonstrated remarkable growth, averaging an impressive 44% annually over the last decade. There is anticipation around upcoming catalysts related to FNV's backlog, expected to materialize in the near term. While some experts note its premium price in comparison to the broader gold market, they remain bullish on its future prospects, stressing that precious metals serve as an essential diversifier in investment portfolios.

AEM

BUY

A low-risk way to play gold and a strong performer there. Buy gold in a low-interest rate environment; it will likely go up.

BUY

The best of the best. High quality company. Sells at a premium but it is worth it. Best capital allocator in the space. The Administrative expense ratio to Cash flow is 0.12%. Very lean company ran for the benefit of shareholders.

HOLD

They are more expensive than the operating companies. This is a very well run company. When gold moves this one will go with it.

BUY

A perfect stock for an older investor. A steady climber that's broken away from the other gold stocks. It's always paid a dividend which is tied to the price of commodity--which will grow over time.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 17/18, Down 5%) Believe in strategy and management team and the assets (royalties). Way to get exposure to gold, which he's constructive on, without exposure to mining companies. Likes that they're diversifying away from gold. Delivering great year over year growth. Developing one of the biggest copper mines in the world. Continues to buy.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He regrets not owning this. This is a safe way to invest in gold, since they finance gold companies and don't run them. (He's not a gold bug.) Well-diversified and -managed. Good balance sheet.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 05/17, Down 7%) It's up 6% in the last month. Investors are waiting for gold to break out of its range, held back by a hawkish Fed and strong US dollar, and FNV would benefit. He could add to his position now. The US dollar remains too strong, a headwind.

WATCH

Chart is choppy. Looks like it has a support level at $80. If it gets to $100 he would sell. (Analysts’ price target is $105)

BUY

Massive disconnect as to true value of gold. One of the most solid names you can own. Don’t be concerned with the price, because you’re buying insurance. Most conservative of the sector. It’s gold, oil, and other assets. At this price, it’s a gift. One of the few precious metals companies with a dividend. 10-20% of investable assets should be in solid precious metals, and he would recommend this name.

WATCH

A well-run company. A $300 million royalty stream each year. They buy the gold streams of existing mines. They say they can go into energy and use the same multiples on valuation. He sold it a couple of years ago, when it was in the early $90 range. As soon as he sees a technical floor forming, it would be the first stock they would buy in the space.

HOLD

This company has traditionally been a core hold as it tends to have lower volatility. However, as he has become more bullish on gold, he is looking for more torque in the actual E&P list of companies at this time. He thinks $1100 per ounce is a floor for gold prices. (Analysts’ price target is $109)

BUY

It is a royalty and has been generally a good performer. Get a better multiple than the pure producers. If you are going to own a gold stock, this is her favorite.

DON'T BUY

A gold royalty play (also in silver, oil/gas). He sold them around $100 on a purely technical basis. In a recession, hold cash, bonds and precious metals. Until then, there are better places to invest your money.

TOP PICK

It's how he plays the gold space. A gold royalty company across 77 assets. This has outperformed the gold index in 8 of the last 10 years. This insulates the investors from the operating costs of overruns that are endemic in this industry
(1.5% dividend, Analysts' price target: $110.65)

HOLD

It has been a big holding of his in the past. He views it more as a finance company than a gold company. It reacts more like a financial company. He would stick with it if he owned it. It should strive in this kind of environment. He would even start to buy more.
