Iamgold Corp (IMG-T)

Don't argue with an uptrend. Pulling back to the trendline. You can see that it was parabolic. Will probably take a pause, but moving in the right direction along with gold. Long-term investors will be fine.

Whole sector's been a pretty good place to be. If you're looking for real strength as far as opportunity goes, move downstream from the big names to mid-tier names like IMG. Those are the ones that are behaving quite robustly.

Often it works to buy a basket, and then drill down and add one name for some extra alpha.

Well-managed. Undervalued compared to its peers. It has several projects on the go. It has strong leverage going forward. Good management. Money will move in at some point. They boast low production costs, diversified assets in safe geopolitical areas. (Analysts' price target: $9.55)

Solid technical pick. Has owned for a while. One of the better names since the spring. Nice little trend, but pretty choppy. Have to stick with it. Resistance around $8.10. Only down $0.11, when gold’s down $30, so it’s held up quite well. Excellent producers. A drop to $7.25 would indicate something’s wrong. If it gets through $8, look for $9. (Analysts’ price target is $9.60.)

The whole gold space has been pretty volatile. Around $7.56 is pretty critical. There may be some pretty big swings up and down as it comes back to its trend line. Thinks gold is going to be a pretty good long-term investment, but a much better price over the next few months. This is one of the stronger names, but is susceptible to some big swings.

This has been on his triple A list for a number of years, but he has never quite bought it. This is not the time of year he buys stocks. This one is interesting because there is so much news.
