This week’s new 52-week lows… (Jan 2-8)

Opinion about CLS-T: Not in his fund, but in separately managed accounts. Fantastic job on the supply side. 12-month price target of $199. If you own it, hold on. Add around $148, and another 1/3 around $140.

Opinion about MAXR-T: (A Top Pick Oct 07/20, Down 7%) Not long after making the recommendation the stock benefited from a lot of ETF buying. They exited on the strong buying on a much higher gain. Since then, the ETF buying has evaporated and the stock price has come back down.

Opinion about UR-T: Cameras on satellites. Feels they’ve made a lot of progress in the right direction. Management is working hard and there is now more clarity. We may see some positive free cash flow one day. At this point, it is starting to become interesting, although clearly there are still a lot of unclear…

Opinion about GDC-T: Prefers Melcor Developments (MRD-T). When there have been housing difficulty like there has been, it’s extremely difficult for stocks like these.

Opinion about TII-X: They had a project where they had lent out some money to the big Urban Corp. real estate company, which defaulted on their loans. Fortunately, the loan was secured by some real estate. Terra Firma just announced getting full repayment of the principal plus interest for that property. Now it will be…

Opinion about BEI.UN-T: Affordable + non-regulated. So when inflation hurts its operating expenses, it can raise rents. Alberta's enjoying above-average population growth. Market's overly concerned about economic impact on Albertans. Yield is 2.44%. (Analysts’ price target is $81.15)

Opinion about XBM-T: Base metals ETF? Base metals are economically sensitive, but there is long-term demand for them. XBM holds larger-cap stocks like First Quantum, Rio Tinto and Freeport-McMoRan. 50% of this ETF are the biggest names.

Opinion about HNU-T: You only want to use this as a short-term vehicle for a seasonal trade. Not a buy-and-hold.Disclosure:  He works for Global X (formerly Horizons).

Opinion about FSL-T: First Trust has a good operation. Has looked at the Senior Loan ETF, more in the US, and has tended to stay away from them. There is not enough pick up in yields in past corporates. Worries about the underlying illiquidity of the asset class.

Opinion about XSI-T: He doesn’t know this, but assumes it is an actively managed bond fund. If so, the question you are going to have is the duration of the bond fund at any given time. You can usually get that information from the people who market this ETF. If you have a duration of…

Opinion about ZPH-T: Good replacement for a HISA? Idea was to extract tax-efficient income out of the market. Hasn't taken off in a big way. See ZPAY.

Opinion about CCE-X: This company has been around for 20 years on the Venture exchange. It has no revenues and has a couple of properties, one in Quebec and the other in BC. I questions how many investors have made money on this. He has no interest in this one.

Opinion about EIL-X: He covers the stock and owns it. The business is doing well. They are a leader in their space. There was a big investor out of China that fell on hard times and has had to sell shares. It may be poised for a turnaround.

Opinion about TRO-X: A lot of people are down on this name including Rio Tinto who is the driver of this story with 50%. The Mongolian government is threatening higher royalties and taxes. These are some of the risks of foreign jurisdictions. But he thinks all of the bad news is in the name. Don’t…

Opinion about FM-T: Looking at it with renewed interest. Political situation has changed, license may be reinstated. That's critical to this company going forward, but also critical for Panama. Multi-decade reserve life, produces 1.5% of world's copper. Cautiously optimistic. Potential outsized upside for a risk-hungry investor.

Opinion about GDX-X: It's range-trader. During flight-to-safety periods (as he expects in the next few years when market become unglued), gold will shine again with a good rally. He's added to his position. GDX is US-listed gold miners. Gold stocks vs. gold price are 35-year lows, and gold stock vs. the S&P 500 are as…

Opinion about IFOS-X: Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. They have been growing their top-line quickly over the last quarters. Net profit margins are improving.

Opinion about MED-X: He is a geological advisor to them. Consulted on a project in Italy, but it was not what he thought it would be.

Opinion about GQM-T: Has an old mine outside of Los Angeles that was run in the 1930s. Closed down during the Second World War and they are doing open pit mining in the area. Has some issues, but at these gold prices, it will probably start to work again. Under followed. Highly speculative.

Opinion about DWS-X: Canadian wine has big tailwinds, including Premier Ford's cash rebate that began last year which is putting cash into Ontario wineries. Also, retail outlets in Ontario are opening up. Volumes are surging. The Buy Canadian movement has a lesser impact. Removing interprovincial barriers will help. Many tailwinds now and this will raise…

Opinion about LNR-T: (A Top Pick May 13/24, Down 13%) It announced it will not be affected by tariffs and is well managed. However he has sold - it has had a hard time getting respect from the market in spite of their successes. Has a dedicated fan base but this is not enough to…

Opinion about BBU.UN-T: A way to participate in Brookfield's excellent track record of private-equity investments. Owns companies like the largest residential mortgage insurer in Canada, and one producing low-voltage automotive batteries globally. Big discount of ~30% to NAV. Yield is 1%. (Analysts’ price target is $45.46)

Opinion about PLI-T: They hit a financing crisis and needed cash. So, they issued 20 billion share at 1.5 cents per share. A massive dilution that destroyed the shareholder base. Avoid.
