| PAST TOP PICK | 3.870 | Peter Grandich | Believes that it is not a well managed company. He is disappointed with operations. Sell if you own., don't buy. | 2006-09-22 | |
| DON'T BUY | 3.970 | Jean-Francois Tardif | Stock is very cheap based on cash flow. Because people don't like things management has done, it is not moving much. The only way it can do well is a takeover. | 2006-09-06 | |
| DON'T BUY | 3.080 | Ron Meisels | Has a long history of coming down and is still very much behind the pack. | 2006-07-05 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 3.500 | Peter Grandich | They've always had a problem living up to expections, but they seem to have everything in order. They are one of the lower priced majors. | 2006-03-07 | |
| DON'T BUY | 3.430 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | A combination of troubled assets along with some good ones. Their mine in Quebec is getting a little old and a little tired. We'll probably perform well with a rising gold price but he classifies the assets as mediocre. | 2006-01-11 | |
| TOP PICK | 2.090 | Peter Grandich | Expects marked increases in mergers and acquisitions in the gold sector, so his Top Picks are based on this. This is his 3rd choice. A fallen angel. Had a big problem with its hedge books, then with higher operational costs. Starting to turn around but very vulnerable to a major who feels it can do a better job. | 2005-10-24 | |
| TOP PICK | 2.460 | Peter Grandich | Continued to disappoint, first by getting its hedge book into a problem and then had high operational forces which were a surprise. Very vunerable to a takeover at this low price. | 2005-09-30 | |
| DON'T BUY | 2.270 | David Taylor, MBA, CFA | Has some issues. There are other growth stocks you should buy instead. Trading at asset value. | 2005-08-29 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 2.800 | Peter Grandich | (A Top Pick May 19/05. Up 33%.) Starting to show some really relative strength here. Will be a candidate for consolidation. | 2005-07-11 | |
| TOP PICK | 2.100 | Peter Grandich | An international gold producer with operations, developments and exploration projects throughout the Americas. Had a big hedge book problem but that's dissipated and they appear to be turning the corner. Last quarter showed a 10% increase in gold output, revenues are up 52%. Cash flows have improved. | 2005-05-19 | |
| TOP PICK | 2.390 | Peter Grandich | We are still going to have a tough time in the metals and mining shares for the next few months, even though he thinks gold will work its way higher. The markets and managers will look for things that didn't participate in the last go-around. Believes this one may have begun to turn around. Hedge book is better. | 2005-04-15 | |
| DON'T BUY | 3.070 | Peter Grandich | Does not like. | 2005-03-07 | |
| BUY | 3.050 | Don Vialoux | Broke a key support level last week, but is now coming back. Expect a lot of activity between now and May on possible take-outs of gold companies which will drive stocks between now and late May. Forming a nice base and wants to go higher. | 2005-02-10 | |
| BUY | 3.010 | Fred Sturm | Because the view of a weakening US$ is so uniform, there could be a bit of a rally in the near term. Over the longer term, it will still be weak. The pull back in junior golds could last 6/12 weeks, so bit by bit, week by week, they keep buying juniors such as Bema and Cambior. El Dorado should participate as well. | 2005-01-14 | |
| WEAK BUY | 3.490 | Ian Nakamoto | Wouldn't be his first pick in a gold stock. A decent company with excellent properties. | 2004-11-02 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 3.710 | David Chapman | (A Top Pick July 16/04. Down 9%.) Has a series of rising bottoms. Has to break out over the $4.20 zone. It's fine, just taking longer to form. | 2004-10-22 | |
| WEAK BUY | 3.900 | David Chapman | There has been a longterm uptrend for almost 3 years. Stock can go up until about 7 dollar level. | 2004-09-01 | |
| BUY | 3.790 | Peter Grandich | Has some good projects. Prefers El Dorado, but this would be a second choice. | 2004-08-18 | |
| TOP PICK | 4.130 | David Chapman | Didn't have as sharp a pullback as others. Starting to break out. | 2004-07-16 | |
| BUY | 4.030 | Ron Meisels | Drastic drop and then accumulated in 2001. Upleg with an accumulation in 2002. Another upleg and is now accumulating again. Probability is that there should be another upleg. Breaking through its current downtrend line. | 2004-07-14 | |
| BUY | 3.430 | Ian Nakamoto | Likes gold . Feels the price of gold is going up. | 2004-06-14 | |
| BUY | 3.810 | John Zechner | Have dropped their production costs. Not a bad story. Not a lot of properties. | 2004-04-22 | |
| SELL | 3.970 | John Embry | Have a hedge book, which they are reducing. Their 2 main assets carry extremely onerous royalties. | 2003-10-21 | |
| DON'T BUY | 3.430 | Ross Healy | Not supported by its visible earnings outlook. | 2003-09-04 | |
| BUY | 2.900 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | Should do very well.Management has been able to turn the company around. | 2003-08-21 | |
| WEAK BUY | 2.120 | John Embry | A little concerned that they have hedges in place. Also carry pretty stiff royalties on their production. Very cheap. Warranties would be a good way to play this stock. | 2003-07-16 | |
| TOP PICK | 2.420 | Bruce Campbell | Still has upside left. Has a hedge on 30% of their production. Buy on a dip. | 2003-01-06 | |
| DON'T BUY | 1.750 | John Embry | Not happy with their hedging. | 2002-12-03 | |
| BUY | 2.390 | Brendan Kyne | Just raised capital to unwind their gold hedge. | 2002-05-10 | |
| BUY on WEAKNESS | 1.770 | Robert Floyd | Nave turned the corner. Will have to watch their costs. | 2002-04-05 | |
