Labrador Iron Ore Royalty (LIF-T) is viewed favorably by experts as a promising long-term investment, particularly for retirees seeking reliable income through dividends. The company enjoys a strong position in the iron ore market, with Rio Tinto as the operator, which contributes to its stability and dividend yields that are currently at 4.5%. While experts recognize the potential challenges posed by advancements in technology within the steel sector, they maintain a cautiously optimistic outlook on the importance of iron ore for infrastructure development. One expert suggests avoiding chasing the stock during strength, advocating for purchasing shares during market corrections to optimize investment. Overall, the stock is considered a solid holding due to its consistent income generation and relatively lower risk profile compared to direct mining investments.

BUY
Expecting iron ore pricing to be quite strong going into 2008. Estimates are for a 25% increase. Good production profile.
TOP PICK
It is expected that iron ore prices could rise 50% over the next year. There are also a lot of rumours that it is a takeover target. 11% yield.
TOP PICK
Chart shows a sideways move from early 2005 to early 2007 and then it goes into an uptrend. This is a bullish sign.
TOP PICK
Peaked at around $30 in 05, went sideways until just recently. Broke out and started to go up which is a very positive sign.
BUY
Outlook for iron ore prices is quite strong. Expecting a pretty healthy distribution increase in 2008. They own 15% of Iron Ore Co of Canada and there's speculation it will be taken over. Still upside if a takeover were to happen.
BUY
The outlook for iron ore continues to do well. This is a good play for income-oriented investors.
BUY
Not purely a royalty or income trust. Has a dividend and has an equity holding within the Labrador Iron Ore property itself. A good trust to own.
TOP PICK
Pays 5% yield plus a dividend. It is a royalty. The company owns 15% of Iron Ore of Canada. There is a call on iron ore. Three major producers. In a bit of a turmoil right now which is causing a bit of weakness. Iron ore has a long reserve life-30 years. A great income stream. Paid $26.00 recently.
DON'T BUY
Has been a great performer over the last few years. The story for this trust rests in China and its robust growth. Labrador has a royalty interest in their production. The major producers of iron ore have enormous expansion plans which could be a problem for current high prices.
HOLD
Iron ore prices have been quite strong. Will probably soften over the next couple of years. but outlook for the next 1/2 years is quite strong before there is a pull back in prices. IOC, in which they have a large holding, has just re-instated dividends which will affect distributions positively. Look at trimming back your position after you have your next distribution payment.
TOP PICK
Has a 7% royalty on all the iron ore the Iron Ore Company of Canada sells as well as a 15% stake in Iron Ore. Reserve life is 35/40 years. A modest dividend, but sees this increasing through their 15% holding. There is a feeling that the Iron Ore dividend will be reinstated. Also feels there's a long term demand cycle for many of the commodities.
WEAK BUY
It's been a good name, we continue to hold and like it. They are going to stay strong. Huge production and demand of steel coming out of China which should help.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 13/05. Up 13.5%.) Still likes the story.
BUY
Feels there is still hidden value in this trust.
TOP PICK
Iron Ore Company of Canada pays a royalty on production. Looking at very stable and rising production. They will be developing a pellet plant which will give them a higher valued product. Own 15% of Iron Ore, but doesn't see that in the share price. Expects ditributions to rise. Low yield, but long duration assets, sustainability and quality of cash flow.
