Barrick Gold

Gold a difficult metal to value. Recent strength in gold price good for overall business. Weakness in share price due to inflation concerns from investors (costs a lot to produce gold). ABX is one of the best companies in sector, but is a commodity style business. Overall is a hold for long term investors.

He doesn't own gold stocks. Bad balance sheet, restructuring. Gold exploration is expensive, easier to just take over another company. Environmentally unfriendly, in bad parts of the world.

Underperforming TSX since 2020. For him, owning the bullion makes a bit more sense, though he doesn't own that either.

Potential takeover of FM a tough sell for ABX investors?

He hasn't owned mining companies in a very long time. Shocking to see what's happened to FM with that mine, as it's a great asset. Shows how risky it is to invest in foreign countries outside NA. 

ABX knows how to allocate capital very well. If he were interested in a mining company, this would be the one, as the CEO certainly knows what to do. Eventually, the FM mine has to be up and running. If ABX can run it properly, there's a lot of value that can be created.

Small companies can't exist anymore in this new age of mining, oil/gas. We're going to see a lot of M&A.

Has underperformed the gold price, but so have gold stocks in general. ABX has an unusual good collection of high-quality gold assets. He's done well investing in companies that the CEO has run. Continues to be long this.

PARTIAL BUY
Barrick Gold

Earnings should pick up given the rise in gold prices in recent weeks. This should continue. Guidance says that production side won't be strong in 2024, though copper will see more opportunities than gold. Overall, he sees a little more upside in 2024.

The chart shows resistance broken, and a reverse head-and-shoulders pattern. He isn't a gold bug; it's hard to predict gold prices, though it's doing well now. The chart could return to $25, and if it breaks that it could rise further. Doesn't know.

A leader. He doesn't play too much in the gold space. It's more speculative than what he typically buys. Not on his radar. 

He'd prefer RIO, a low-cost leader in the iron ore space, with copper assets and a nice distribution. You could also look at MDI to play the miners, as it gives exposure to the whole sector.

Does not invest in gold. Hard to justify investment. Share price has not appreciated in 30 years. Not good for shareholders. Capital allocation not good. Only beneficiary is management who collect salary.

Expects this to fall 3.5%. Gold is essential to any portfolio. He owns physical gold, not the companies, because the costs of production are rising faster than the price of gold. Expects some gold companies to go bust.

Very large business makes it tough to earn  high rate of return.
Gold prices difficult to predict.
Prefers Franco-Nevada & royalties.
Valuation not very good.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Barrick Gold

Increase on real returns on bonds is a negative on gold prices.
Gold not as attractive with higher interest rates. 
Would wait 6-12 months before buying (when interest rates are cut).

Likes gold sector, but not ABX.
Gold a strong commodity.
Geopolitical risk & company debt major drawbacks of company.
Prefers other names in sector.

RISKY
Barrick Gold

Very supportive of Pakistan gold project.
Technical prospects very good.
Management very good at emerging markets & politics.
Political risk a substitute for technical risk (deposits very large). 
Political risk very high.

HOLD
Barrick Gold

You want to be long gold and silver at the right time, once every 15-20 years, and it's hard to find those times. Free cashflow is harder to come by when costs have been rising. And you have to be right about your bond yields, which have to keep coming down for gold to work. That's probably the way they're going to go. He likes ABX and AEM and owns them, but is not piling in.
