STRONG BUY

Reported a big beat and gain, but shares went down. In the last 12 months, it reported $6 billion in EBITDA. They raised their guidance on price by 17%. Volumes are picking up, including the carmakers. It's annoying that shares are down today--the market is down, and there could be some profit-taking. Today's price is a definite buy. It boasts free cash flow of $6 billion pr 40% FCF yield, which cannot be found in megacap tech stock, and CLF is buying back shares. They are anchored by fixed, long-term contracts. The market is a dingbat when CLF reports.

DON'T BUY

It's a cyclical stock and not a growth company. If car demand slows down--and it will--CLF will suffer, despite a good CEO. He sold this in the mid-20s.

steel

STRONG BUY

Factories in America are being built and are buying cars. Both need steel. Demand is strong.

steel

BUY

He started buying it 10 days ago at $22, now it's pushing $26. 6000 of the March 26 calls. It keeps moving up and up. Expect better returns than high-PE stocks. He added to his position today.

steel

BUY

He just sold Marathon Oil to buy this. This company is on fire, shares low, so it's time to buy. Interest rate scares (like now) open opportunities to buy beaten stocks like this.

steel

BUY

An inflation-protection trade: Energy is the obvious play. Kinder Morgan is a laggard in energy, though not directly tied to oil prices, but will benefit during this rally. Also likes Cleveland-Cliffs which reports tomorrow. Down from highs, but still very high and lifted by high steel prices. Upside here as the economy expands. Alaska Air. Costs are up, but airline are good at passing on costs to customers. People will come out of hibernation to fly, so demand is up.

steel

BUY

Has long liked this steelmaker. They report Friday, which he expects to be decent based on a cleaned-up balance sheet and strong management.

steel

STRONG BUY

His favourite stock for 2022. Shares are down since its all-time high in October, because steel prices declined a little, but remain high. Gross margins and volumes remain high and will stay so, because car production is rising and people are being major appliances as they buy new houses. PLus, infrastructure spending is coming. All tailwinds. $2.5 billion free cash flow projected for 2022 or 25% free cash flow yield. Stick with it.

TOP PICK

Strong 1-year growth. Reduction in Chinese steel production has benefited North American companies. Has recently been recommended as a BUY by David Burrows and Jim Lebenthal. Social media mentions have increased 131% over the past 7 days.

steel

BUY

Has pulled back, but it's up from $10 in 2020. US and Canadian steel should do well over next couple of years. China is not increasing production, to help the environment. Not as high quality as NUE, but more leveraged to steel prices. He owns STLC. He'd be fine owning this one or NUE. Lots of earnings leverage as the cycle improves.

steel

BUY

CLF made a deal today to buy Ferrous Processing. CLF has been turbulent, but its long-term trend remains intact. This deal secures a source of scarp metal for CC, which they can turn into steel--so this is a strategically important deal. This is the future of steel--of making steel out of scrap metal using electric furnaces. Steel is pricey and will come down eventually, but CLF is making money hand over fist, beacuse they buy cheap raw materials, but sell expensive end products. Also, CLF is delevering. Watch for their free cash flow when they report in a few weeks.

steel

SELL ON STRENGTH

He's buying this week's dip including Facebook, Skyworks and Cleveland Cliffs. He holds 35% cash. Some stocks he bought were down 20% this week, far below Monday's dip. Copper prices will remain stable. However, steel prices are so high, so Cleveland Cliffs is merely a short-term buy and he's looking for an exit if prices partially recover.

steel

HOLD

Buy this 14% dip? Hold if you own a lot and you haven't fallen below your ACB. Unless the economy collapses, CLF will go higher.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 27/21, Up 0%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with CLF has triggered its stop at $22. We recommend covering the remaining position at this time. Combined with the previous recommendation to cover half the position, this results in a total net investment return of 9%.

steel

BUY

Makes flatrolled steel. Steel prices have been strong. China is focused on improving environmental impact, so it's constraining supply. Next step might be tariff on exported steel. Their loss would be NA's win. CLF could boost earnings this year. Should benefit from infrastructure and as a recovery story. He owns Stelco.
