Teck Resources Ltd. (B) (TECK.B.TO)

We have a developing bottom. It is forming a base. Buying pullbacks makes a lot of sense. If the low breaks then it will test the previous low. If you buy here you have to decide if you are willing to risk that much. The upside is a little more than the downside, but not 2:1 and that is where he decides the risk is worth it.

(Market Call Minute) Getting cheap, under book but desperately needs something to turn earnings around. Probably dead money.

We have had the steady decline since the rally, but we had a pivot point after which if it moves above $32 it confirms the down is over. It is not over yet. He would probably be an owner here. He likes copper stocks.

(Market Call Minute) Asian recovery story.

(Market Call Minute.) Sold his holdings but thinks it is coming back to a time when it might be a Buy.

Copper prices have picked up a bit. A little bit neutral on this and is still waiting. If you want to participate in a rise in base metals, this would be one of the companies you would be looking at.

(Market Call Minute) A little out of favour, tax loss selling.

High-quality stock in a bad place. It will certainly be a survivor in a downturn of commodities but all of their major commodities, including coal, copper and zinc are all facing tough times. This will work itself out as more money is not going to new mines. In a couple of years, there will be a deficit in copper. This hinges on what your thought is on growth acceleration in Asia, China, specifically. Tough call. 3.7% dividend yield.

(Market Call Minute.) Probably a Buy, but if it sees the low $30s, it’s a Sell.

(A Top Pick Nov 1/12. Down 21.06%.) Sold his holdings. Resource stocks have underperformed this year. He is less bullish on the coal market than he was. The Fort Hills project was where he got out because all of their excess cash flow for the next 4-5 years is going to go into this development.

Has not owned since 2007/8 as they almost went bankrupt in ’09. Now he can’t get an idea of what copper and coal prices will be. It is hard to forecast profitability.

Global growth is returning, but what if it is consumer lead growth and not construction led growth. China is making steel just to make steel, not because of global demand. He has stayed away.

Has some leverage in the oil space now. Buy given the outlook on global economies. Demand for Copper and Met Coal will pick up from here. Dividend is safe.

Has had a very good run. Added to his holdings in the summer when it got down to the low $20’s. Likes this very much over the next 2-3 years. Have good, longer-term growth with participation in Fort Hills. You are basically buying exposure to metallurgical coal and copper. The outlook for both is very good. 3.3% dividend yield.

Copper, iron, coal are not a great combination for the next couple of years. Demand will remain tepid. It can be traded in a range. Buy near this year’s lows and then the 29.60 area will be a resistance area.
