Teck Resources Ltd. (B) (TECK.B-T)

Goes back to the grid story. The grid is deteriorating. Copper is the biggest input into the wires necessary to feed our EVs and the like. The mine in Chile is now one of the fastest-growing large-cap copper plays out there. Likes it.

Not necessarily. All copper stocks have been under pressure, due to copper getting ahead of itself to over $5/pound. Shanghai inventories going higher, sector had a lot of speculative plays. Copper is still a good story. TECK story looks fantastic, now purely positioned as a copper/zinc player, which puts it more in the global arena. Generating cash. 

Leading Canadian resource company, focused on responsible operations. Sees upside. 9/10 on fundamentals, but only 4/10 on value. Diversified business model. Wait for more of a pullback, great long-term play.

Great company for copper exposure. Strong management team. Cycle indicating to higher demand for copper and other commodities. 

Inflation will continue to effect prices in commodities, which puts TECK in the right place at the right time.

Has enjoyed a good run to ride the boom in copper. A super company, but the price has risen far in the last 3 months.

They got rid of their coal assets and are now a premium pure copper play. It should get a premium valuation like other copper producers since there is a shortage of copper and new copper projects. Copper is needed for the electrical grid.

This is volatile, because it's tied to the price of copper which is very choppy

(A Top Pick Jan 29/24, Up 18%)

Participates in a commodity bull market. Last time, in early 2000, went up by several 100 percent. We've been over a decade in a commodity bear market, and companies are now just waking up. Very early stages. A portfolio centrepiece that can generate real returns over the next 5 years.

They're exiting coal to focus on copper (South American). He loves the future of copper, but the risk is their expansion in Peru. See what happened in Panama. Buy only a small portion. He prefers Capstone because it operates in safer Chile.

Would've liked a better return. They're about to sell an asset which will reduce all debt and give them a few billion cash which will drive future growth. Their QB2 copper project continues to ramp up and will drive copper production up 50% by 2025. They're the copper champion of Canada.

Commodity play, has always been wildly volatile, and he avoids this type. Stock goes up and down with the commodity price. He prefers a more stable cashflow. Getting rid of coal is a net positive. 

The next economic cycle over the next two years is very good for materials and Teck is coming into new production. It has good copper production this year which will double next year. It generates very good cash flow which is good for dividend holders.      Buy 19  Hold 1  Sell 1

Remains the largest Canadian miner. Will they spin off their coal business? They will do well. They are major produces of copper and zinc, which are needed in EVs. The current valuation is fair, right at book value. You're not buying this for the dividend.

He took profits earlier this year when shares got frothy, but still likes it. He expects higher copper prices. Is looking for a better entry point.
