Stock price when the opinion was issued
From a trade perspective, a bit overbought. He's a trader at heart, and buys into dips. If you're a bull, by all means keep holding. But he took some $$ off the table.
Likes both gold and silver here. Gold and silver equities and exposure to them are very undervalued relative to long-term trends; analysts tell him it's likely going to stay that way for a while. The market just doesn't believe that gold and silver prices are going to remain elevated.
Gold is almost like an insurance policy. Good diversifier. Should be a good, long-term hedge. Deposits have become harder to find.
He prefers the business model of the royalty companies like FNV or WPM. As well, they operate counter-cyclically -- give money when gold prices are low and harvest when prices are high. Always looks expensive, but it's expensive for a reason.
He bought them a long time ago and sold with profit. They would be in the same class as Franco-Nevada. WPM is not going to finance anymore. The cashflow is what it is and there will be little upside since it is a royalty company. He would prefer Franco-Nevada. He would look elsewhere where you can get appreciation.
