Stockchase Opinions

Jean-Francois Tardif Pinetree Capital Ltd. PNP-T COMMENT Sep 04, 2008

Owns a lot of micro cap and small-cap resource stocks. Right now, all those stocks are getting hammered. At last count, it was trading below net asset value. Cheap, but if the net asset value keeps on going down, there is no reason for the stock to go up in the near term.

It's the ideal tool to help you make quicker, more informed decisions for managing and tracking your investments.

You might be interested:

BUY
Like a little mini mutual fund of small-cap resource companies. Track record has been pretty good. If you believe in the small-cap space, this is a pretty good investment.
WATCH
Collection of about 300-400 little companies i.e. a holding company like a closed end fund. Has a lot of natural mining resource plays and in the present market situation, this could check back quite a bit. A high beta play that you Buy after the resource sector has been hammered.
SELL
A Warrant is a very long dated option. Whatever you paid for it, sell that amount of capital (take profits).
COMMENT
Like a merchant bank holding company where they own 300-400 really highly speculative companies. If we are in a market trough and we go into a bull market, this thing will really pop. Not for the faint of heart.
RISKY
A kind of lottery ticket company (a boutique financing house, a merchant bank). When company is bullish, harvest this stock and when everyone is bearish you accumulate it. Very counter intuitive.
WEAK BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Very speculative. This is only for mad money. Interesting by. Tends to trade between $1 and $2.
HOLD

Very high beta. Thinks through the fall it will do better and then drop off in the spring. He would be looking to take profits off the table.

COMMENT

This is a bundle of super, super speculative companies and the market goes through these periods of speculation and promotion. The question is, is the next speculative cycle going to be in mining or somewhere else. If it is going to be in mining, this company will come back. This is one that you don’t put any serious money into it.

HOLD

This one is going to be tough. They kicked out management. It had to sell off a lot of assets to avoid contravention of its covenants. Now you have to sit with it. He would call it a reluctant hold. If resources go up, it could be a good lottery ticket. Don’t average down.

WATCH

Interesting pedigree on the management team. Used to be resource-focused, had been planning to shift more to technology. Chart's perked up, may be time for him to revisit the stock.
