This summary was created by AI, based on 11 opinions in the last 12 months.

Teck Resources Ltd. is currently in the spotlight due to its planned merger with Anglo American, which could create a significant player in the global copper market. Experts present mixed views; some express concerns about execution risks associated with the merger and the fluctuations in commodity prices. Many see potential upside if the merger is successful, particularly given Teck's strong cash flow potential when copper prices are favorable. There are opinions suggesting investors might consider buying TECK.B at its current price or waiting for a possible dip post-merger vote, which is set for December. Overall, the long-term outlook remains positive, provided the issues surrounding the QB2 mine are resolved and copper demand continues to rise amidst global economic trends.

DON'T BUY
Acquired Fording Coal at too high a price and they're going to have to figure out a way to pay the bridge loan. This will likely include selling off a substantial amount of assets.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 1/08. Down 90.2%.) Doesn't like the sector and doesn't think there is a lot to drive this to get a whole lot better. Extremely speculative.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) Too much leverage. Probably a survivor but there is a risk they will be forced to sell their best assets.
DON'T BUY
Paid too much for Fording at the top of the last cycle and now have a debt problem. At some point, bondholders have a right to demand payment and this is the issue this company faces.
COMMENT
Asset rich and NAV poor so unlikely will be taken over. More likely it will be buyers for pieces of the assets. Extremely sensitive to coal price now which is being quoted from $125-$200. He thinks they will sell enough assets by the fall to survive and pay off the debt that is due.
DON'T BUY
Gotten themselves boxed by making a big acquisition near the top of the market. Financing has become very difficult for them. Have been selling assets. It's hard to know if they will be able to meet all the covenances and get the money.
DON'T BUY
A tough one for a lot of Canadian investors. Had been a wonderful company for a long time. Took a big bite when it bought the coal assets and are now paying for it. Coal shipments are down 10%, which hurts the cash flow. Have a $5.8 billion bridge loan coming due in September.
COMMENT
Unfortunately acquired Fording Coal at the top of the market and took on large debt. Once commodity prices rebound, it should go higher.
WAIT
Bought Fording just before the peak in the market so timing was brutal. A good strategy with this company would be to wait all of 09 because they have so many debt maturities coming due and there is so much concern on how they're going to finance them.
DON'T BUY
Zinc mines are closing all over. Large debt. Coal started to fall right after they bought Fording. They need to see global steel making get strong again and that people feel the base metal story has legs. Will be a while.
DON'T BUY
Very good company with very good assets has got themselves into problems with the balance sheet. Have a bridge loan that has to be refinanced. Until it's done, the market is not giving them any benefit of the doubt.
DON'T BUY
Bought Fording Coal at the peak of the coal market and then saw it collapse beneath them along with the price of other metals. Balance sheet is severely levered. If the economy comes back there should be strong demand for metallurgical coal.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Just getting lined up or as seasonal trade.
COMMENT
Iron/steel demand is down dramatically. Sees economic weakness globally. Metallurgical coal prices will be set in the next few months and he can't see it doing anything but go down.
DON'T BUY
Recently sold his holdings. Had liked its diversity of assets as well as its balance sheet. All changed when they acquired Fording Coal and a copper company at the peak. Have a lot of debt. Would like to see a management change.
