| TOP PICK | 7.420 | Ron Meisels | (His 3 picks include one each from industrials, gold and oil.) Has a 4-year base with a target of $14. This is possible the 1st gold stock that will move. | 2008-08-15 | |
| Comment | 7.780 | David Burrows | Technically at a line in the sand for the gold group. Indexes have pulled back to January lows. If they don't hold here, then it may be over. (Doesn't expect this to be the case.) Of the bunch, this is the one that has remained technically sound. Wouldn't want to see it trade at $7.50. | 2008-08-05 | |
| DON'T BUY | 7.950 | Veronika Hirsch | Wouldn't buy this one simply because of where it is politically speaking. Operations in Turkey. (See Top Picks.) | 2008-07-17 | |
| BUY | 7.820 | Robert Floyd | (Market Call Minute.) Could see higher targets for this one. | 2008-06-24 | |
| BUY on WEAKNESS | 8.220 | Bruce Campbell | Has very much better than the rest of the group but has pulled back in the last week or so. Now starting to look attractive again. Look to Buy at $8.00. | 2008-06-13 | |
| HOLD | 8.120 | Bruce Campbell | Has been his favourite. Has done very nicely, specifically in the last and 2 or 3 weeks when the rest of the group has not performed nearly as well. Did all of its catch-up, so now you need higher gold prices. Gold seasonably runs from late August into September. If it reaches $9, take some profits. | 2008-05-26 | |
| BUY | 8.130 | David Burrows | Gold is going a lot higher and this is a good space to be building positions in. Best looking chart in short run (month). Some political risk. Possible acquisition target. | 2008-05-22 | |
| HOLD | 7.300 | Bruce Campbell | Has done the best of many of the Canadian golds. Turkish government is allowing the Kisladag mine too likely be reopened. They are actually producing off the stockpile. It is playing catch-up, which is why it has done the best. Valuation is still 10% cheaper than the others and $8.50 probably makes it fully valued. | 2008-04-11 | |
| WAIT | 7.420 | Ron Meisels | Stock has not been able to go through the $7.40-$7.50 area. If you don't own it, wait for the breakout and then jump on it. | 2008-04-08 | |
| BUY | 7.350 | Peter Hodson | The market is going to gravitate towards producing companies. A prefect go to mid cap name. Great production, great assets. Going to start to profit from high gold prices. Great name | 2008-03-17 | |
| Comment | 7.490 | Gavin Graham | One of the higher cost gold producers. They have been a beneficiary of the big run-up in gold. Expects gold will go up a lot higher. | 2008-03-06 | |
| Comment | 6.790 | Bruce Campbell | Has moved up mostly because of the gold price, but it appears they are three quarters of the way to solving their problem in Turkey and he is expecting an announcement in the next few weeks that will solve the rest of it. | 2008-02-28 | |
| DON'T BUY | 6.100 | Alex Lane | Really likes their assets and the management team but their problem in Turkey is a real risk. The negotiations could drag on and on. | 2008-02-06 | |
| HOLD | 6.050 | Bruce Campbell | It has taken longer than expected for the Turkish government decision. Still thinks it's in the near term and will be a little catalyst for a move in the stock. There is more risk in this than any other intermediate/senior gold stocks, but if you can stomach the risk it has the most upside as well. | 2008-01-23 | |
| DON'T BUY | 6.360 | Robert Floyd | (Market Call Minute.) Would be on the sidelines because they haven't got their production back. | 2008-01-15 | |
| TOP PICK | 6.880 | David Taylor, MBA, CFA | Gold with 70% of its production in Turkey. There has been an injunction on their mines and they are not allowed to produce. Thinks this will be alleviated very shortly. Low-cost operator. | 2008-01-10 | |
| BUY | 6.640 | John Embry | The problem in Turkey is being solved. Likes the CEO. He has done something interesting by being one of the first people to move into China. This is a first-class gold company. | 2008-01-09 | |
| BUY | 6.640 | Werner Muehelemann | Have had some permitting problems but it is just a question of time and it will be a big producer. | 2008-01-09 | |
| HOLD | 6.180 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | Had to suspend their Turkish operations. Suit has to be reviewed by the courts. Be patient. He thinks they will get through this. Also have a gold mine in China and another mine in Turkey. | 2008-01-03 | |
| BUY | 5.830 | Bruce Campbell | Lagged because of the courts shutting down their mine in Turkey. 99% sure it will reopen in the next few months and, when it does happen, the stock will do well. If it does not happen, he is still looking at a stock price of $7.50. | 2007-12-31 | |
| TOP PICK | 5.730 | Bruce Campbell | Feels there is a 90% chance that before the end of the year there will be an announcement that the mine in Turkey comes back on stream. | 2007-11-22 | |
| BUY | 5.480 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | A lot of the price performance will depend on the outcome in Turkey. Thinks it will be okay. Also have a backup in their Tanjianshan operation in China. Very attractive at this level and could retest the old highs. | 2007-11-16 | |
| DON'T BUY | 6.590 | Veronika Hirsch | Have permits for one of their Turkish mines, but the government has shut the mine pending further investigation. She doesn't like this situation. Also concerned about skirmishes on the Turkey and Iraqi border. | 2007-10-31 | |
| BUY | 6.540 | Bruce Campbell | Still continues to hold it. The consensus is that we will see it back on stream by the end of the year. He thinks the stock will go higher. If you own it, hold it. If looking to buy, you should get it before the announcement because the announcement is likely to be positive. | 2007-10-24 | |
| VAGUE | 6.230 | Peter Grandich | Depending on whether or not there is a positive solution on a significant mine of theirs, will say a lot about where ELD goes. If there is a positive solution, then ELD is a primary takeover target. | 2007-10-22 | |
| BUY | 6.600 | Bill Carrigan | Had a huge gap in July, which occurred because of bad news. Now the stock has rallied and has now moved back above the long-term moving average. The July to September period may prove to be what he calls an island. This is when you gap into it, trade and then gap out of it. This is pretty strong. | 2007-10-10 | |
| HOLD | 6.020 | Ron Meisels | Long-term Hold, but for the moment it probably needs to come back a bit. | 2007-09-27 | |
| TOP PICK | 5.980 | Bruce Campbell | It has been doing the best year to date in the golds. Sold his holdings before the closure of their mine by Turkey. Just bought it back. Management expects the mine to be up and running before the end of the year. | 2007-09-25 | |
| Comment | 5.690 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | The biggest call you've got to make is the reopening of their mine Turkey in terms of the political situation. Feels it will be resolved before the end of October. | 2007-09-06 | |
| DON'T BUY | 5.120 | Stephen Carlin | The Turkey courts shut down their mine. This presents uncertainty and until he actually sees them get the green light he will avoid. It could take 3 months or 3 years. | 2007-08-21 | |
| PARTIAL BUY | 5.060 | Bill Carrigan | Was a “torpedo stock” in July. On a long-term chart, it shows that it is right at its support level. Thinks it will hold here. OK to pick away at it. | 2007-08-20 | |
| Comment | 5.060 | Greg A. Taylor, CFA, BBA | Has a great collection of assets. Management team has done a good job of growing it. Last quarter was very good. Sold off when the Turkish permits were suspended for 3 months. Analysts feel the company should be back on track and the permits will be granted. | 2007-08-20 | |
| WATCH | 5.710 | Robert Floyd | Recently forced to shut down their mine in Turkey and are awaiting the court's decision in September. Numbers in their quarterly report were very strong. | 2007-08-10 | |
| DON'T BUY | 4.710 | Veronika Hirsch | Their mine in Turkey has been shut down because of environmental issues. Prefers others. | 2007-08-01 | |
| WATCH | 4.700 | Bruce Campbell | Court decision to shut down their Turkish mine will take effect Aug 20. Turkish parliament comes back in late September, and they hope to have an announcement within 2 months of that. This is a 4-month shutdown, which will affect their Oct statement and he is looking for a drop in price. | 2007-07-30 | |
| BUY | 5.330 | Robert Floyd | A big court issue that should be resolved on the upside. Dramatically oversold. | 2007-07-12 | |
| BUY | 7.120 | Bill Carrigan | A number of gold stocks had a correction, but this stock did not making it one of the stronger gold stocks. Breaking a new 52-week high. | 2007-07-10 | |
| SELL | 7.160 | Bruce Campbell | UBS downgraded the stock. Sold his holdings. Of the intermediate/senior golds, it was the only one that was up year-to-date and has been by far the best performer. Has gotten ahead of itself. Will buy back at $6.40. | 2007-07-09 | |
| BUY | 7.100 | Peter Hodson | Everything is starting to come together. A takeout candidate. | 2007-07-05 | |
| BUY | 6.900 | Bill Belovay | Successful operations in Turkey. Also in China where growth is going to come from. | 2007-07-03 | |
| BUY | 6.120 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | Very good projects, in Turkey and China.
Great company, solid management.
| 2007-06-14 | |
| Comment | 6.480 | Bruce Campbell | The best performing gold stock around. $7.50 being the one year target. | 2007-06-05 | |
| BUY | 6.110 | Bill Harris | Likes it. Two projects in this stock are built into the price. | 2007-05-31 | |
| BUY | 5.850 | Robert Floyd | Have some very interesting operations. Growth profile is looking very strong. At a juncture, where gold has really come down and we are now in the summer doldrums. A good valuation point and you may want to consider adding. | 2007-05-30 | |
| WEAK BUY | 6.240 | Jeff Parent | Traded around $4.80 up until October of last year. Then it had a nice rally into a new consolidation of about $6.70. Hitting resistance above $7. At a support level now. Gold has some potential, but is very risky. This wouldn't be his choice in golds. Use a tight stop of $5.70. | 2007-05-23 | |
| Comment | 6.510 | Peter Grandich | Production target of half a million oz. for 2008. Takeover target. Has gotten a little toppy from a technical standpoint. Any weakness in gold and it could sell off 10%-15%. Longer term, they are on the right track. Well-managed. | 2007-05-11 | |
| BUY | 6.570 | Derek Webb, CFA | Like them, because earnings are accelerating, and all the gold stocks are down now, when everything else is up. | 2007-05-03 | |
| BUY | 6.980 | Robert Floyd | Doing a very good job in developing their assets. Will be bringing some big production on line. Valuation is reasonable. | 2007-04-19 | |
| HOLD | 6.860 | Robert Floyd | Likes the company. Continuing to explore and find new opportunities. Current projects are progressing well. | 2007-03-29 | |
| BUY | 6.860 | Ian Nakamoto | Sent to increase their production by twofold. Main operations are in Turkey and China. | 2007-03-29 | |
| Comment | 6.650 | Jean-Francois Tardif | A mid-cap gold producer. It will probably track the indices of gold stocks. Not much multiple expansion going forward. A good company. | 2007-03-13 | |
| BUY on WEAKNESS | 6.850 | Bruce Campbell | Had a fairly sharp pullback with golds. In the middle of putting into production a new mine in Turkey and one in China. Great production growth. Good track record. Would buy under $6.50. | 2007-03-06 | |
| BUY | 6.990 | Brendan Caldwell | Very bullish on gold. Expects this one will do very well over the next several years. | 2007-02-27 | |
| BUY | 7.270 | Peter Hodson | Has good prospects. Possible takeover target. | 2007-02-19 | |
| Comment | 7.280 | Bill Belovay | Very much leveraged to the gold price. Operations are in Turkey and China. Everything seems to be in line. Fundamentally sound. | 2007-02-15 | |
| BUY | 7.120 | Ron Meisels | Formed a pattern that is called “a ceiling becomes a floor”. Had a ceiling that it could not break through for a number of years, but when it did get through, that became the floor for the next pullback. A very positive technical development. | 2007-02-14 | |
| BUY | 6.990 | John Embry | Has highest admiration for management. Have good book of assets. Have no concerns with their Turkish operations. | 2007-02-08 | |
| BUY | 6.950 | Bruce Campbell | Has tried to break through$7 a couple of times. Doing everything that they said they would do as far as their Turkish and Chinese mines. Expecting a couple of other announcements in the next few months. | 2007-02-05 | |
| HOLD | 6.720 | Peter Grandich | A little overpriced at the moment, but one of the potential candidates to be taken over. In the next year or two. | 2007-01-26 | |
| BUY | 6.230 | Kyle McKay | You will see a 260% increase in production between now and 2009. Two of the properties are coming on line this year. Reasonable valuation. | 2007-01-08 | |
| BUY | 6.430 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | Just put a mine into production in China as well as a mine in Turkey 6 months ago. Very well run. Slightly discounted to where the price of gold is, so there won't be a lot of deep value but you will get a good performance alone with a movement of gold. | 2007-01-02 | |
| BUY | 5.920 | Bruce Campbell | Peaked at $7 and pulled back, partly with gold prices and partly with sell off after a great run on takeover speculation. Expect it could bounce off $5.75. Looking for a triple in production by the end of 08 and could be a takeover. | 2006-12-21 | |
| DON'T BUY | 5.840 | David Taylor, MBA, CFA | Have opened 2 new mines. Have done an exceptional job on their operation side. Production estimate for 2007/2008 is quite a bit less than what the street was looking for, which dropped the stock. On a price to net asset value, it’s not a cheap stock. | 2006-12-18 | |
| BUY | 6.000 | Kenneth P. Norquay, CMT | Breaking to new highs again. Had a consolidation this year and looks to be going again. | 2006-12-15 | |
| Comment | 6.730 | Gavin Graham | Has some nice properties and could be a takeover. | 2006-12-07 | |
| HOLD | 6.590 | Bill Carrigan | Had a long base and a down trend line, but finally broke out. Stock wants to go higher. | 2006-12-06 | |
| BUY on WEAKNESS | 6.160 | Peter Brieger | Likes the company, but would wait for a pullback before buying. | 2006-11-29 | |
| Comment | 6.160 | Bill Belovay | Nicely positioned in Turkey and they are starting a mine in China. Expect they will make acquisitions, but can’t see them being acquired. | 2006-11-29 | |
| BUY on WEAKNESS | 6.300 | Peter Grandich | Has been locked in a trading range from $4.50 to $6.50. Had a little hiccup in operations, but expect it will be the next candidate as a takeover. | 2006-11-27 | |
| BUY | 5.820 | Bill Harris | If you're looking for mid-tier growth opportunities, there are really only a handful. This is a great one, but you are taking on Turkey risks. | 2006-11-20 | |
| BUY | 5.840 | Bruce Campbell | Had a little bump up recently, partly due to Kinross (K-T) offer for Bema (BGO-T). Rumours of takeover possibilities. Cheap. | 2006-11-15 | |
| BUY | 4.670 | Bill Belovay | Has been hit with a few problems. Had been some fires in the Chinese refineries, which then required lower guidance. Also, some expectations were not met on other projects. A good time to start accumulating. | 2006-10-24 | |
| VAGUE | 4.600 | Peter Grandich | There is likely to be a takeover. The company may be acquired due to the amount of gold available. | 2006-09-22 | |
| BUY | 4.580 | Robert Floyd | Interesting exploration play. Have some big production coming on. Valuation is good. | 2006-09-20 | |
| HOLD | 4.750 | Bill Harris | There is money to be made here, but for himself, going into Turkey with the environmental risks there is not enough of a bump for him. A takeover target. | 2006-09-18 | |
| TOP PICK | 4.970 | Bruce Campbell | Not dependent on the price of gold per se. Has huge growth in Turkey and China. Turkish mine had a little weather related delay. Looking for production growth doubling over the next couple of years. Possible takeover target. | 2006-09-11 | |
| BUY | 5.390 | Martin Hubbes, CFA | Lots of opportunity for growth. Have a couple of very interesting projects. Good exploration and a bit of production. | 2006-09-01 | |
| TOP PICK | 5.140 | Bruce Campbell | Doesn't need a higher gold price for the stock to go up. Their Turkey mine disappointed a little bit in the last quarter because of problems with construction because of cold weather. Their China stand comes on in October. They'll have double the production a year from now. | 2006-08-25 | |
| DON'T BUY | 5.640 | John Embry | They are in production now. Stock has become kind of a cult favourite. Sold his shares when he felt he could do better on a risk/reward basis. Good company. Fully priced. | 2006-08-01 | |
| BUY | 5.340 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | Takeover candidate. Just put their Kisladad mine in Turkey into production. Building another smaller mine in Turkey (Efemcukuru) as well as a mine in China going into production at the end of this year. Also doing work in Brazil. Terrific management. | 2006-07-31 | |
| BUY | 5.220 | Bruce Campbell | Given the volatility in gold, you should buy on the dips and sell in the rallies and strengths. Their mine in China comes on stream this fall and looking out to 2008, production will have doubled. It will go up in plateaus. | 2006-07-27 | |
| BUY | 5.030 | John Zechner | Thinks that gold looks all right in the back half of the year because the US$ is headed down. This is one of the cheaper juniors. Good production growth. | 2006-07-24 | |
| BUY | 5.510 | Ron Meisels | Likes all the gold stocks. There is a secondary base building between 2004 and 2005. The correction was very minor during May/June and held its 200 Day moving average. | 2006-07-05 | |
| HOLD | 4.810 | Peter Brieger | Looking at this gold stock on a junior level. Waiting for the market to settle down. | 2006-06-12 | |
| BUY | 5.580 | Bruce Campbell | A little more bullish on gold as he feels the US$ will continue to weaken. There is great growth coming from this company. You'll have to wait for gold to hit its 200-Day moving average of $650. | 2006-05-31 | |
| BUY | 5.000 | Bruce Campbell | Will be volatile with the price of gold. Turkey properties have started production and Chinese will start in the fall. Production growth should triple over the next two years. | 2006-05-23 | |
| BUY | 5.870 | Peter Grandich | Will perform equal to, if not surpass most of the mining companies. If gold goes higher, the stock should also go higher. | 2006-05-12 | |
| BUY | 5.830 | John Zechner | Looks pretty interesting. Had a bit of a botched financing two months ago. They have liked the move of gold and the valuation is looking a lot more attractive. Have some good properties with some decent growth over the next couple of years. | 2006-04-26 | |
| BUY | 5.620 | John Zechner | They have some developing properties in China. It's cheaper than the group. Has production growth. | 2006-04-13 | |
| TOP PICK | 5.730 | Bruce Campbell | A gold producer with more production coming at the end of this year. Production growth should triple by 2008. | 2006-04-03 | |
| BUY | 4.940 | Bruce Campbell | He recently purchased Eldorado Gold. He likes it. It is a buying opportunity because it is low right now. Predicts it will double its price by 2008. He believes that gold prices may see $600.00 , does not think it will go up to $1,000. | 2006-03-06 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 5.250 | Ron Meisels | This stock has stayed about the same, went a little higher and then had a correction. Believes gold prices are going higher and believes the stock will go higher. The 200 day moving average is good. | 2006-03-02 | |
| BUY | 5.000 | Bruce Campbell | This is a gold company. He bought some at $5.00. There has been some delays due to weather. | 2006-02-25 | |
| BUY | 5.330 | Ron Meisels | 95% of gold stocks are in an upswing trend. He likes it. | 2006-02-21 | |
| TOP PICK | 5.360 | Bruce Campbell | Has excellent growth. They are in Turkey where there are 3 new mines/areas of interest. Also in Brazil and China which was overlooked because of the excitement of Turkey. If gold goes sideways, you can still make money on the stock. | 2006-01-24 | |
| HOLD | 6.100 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | They have two projects that they are developing in Turkey. They also have a new discovery. Stock has performed extraordinarily well over the last few days because the latest discovery could potentially be quite big. Like owning a lottery ticket. | 2006-01-11 | |
| BUY | 6.200 | David Burrows | Has a couple of very good properties. There is more risk in the juniors, however, when you are getting into a leg like we are getting into now, there could be a lot of money made in the junior and intermediate companies. | 2006-01-04 | |
| TOP PICK | 5.000 | Ron Meisels | His 3 picks today are small and chosen because they are very close to their break-out points and they are all in the mining/oil sector as well as being low priced. This one has one of the most exciting chart patterns. Had a leg going from 2002 to 2003 and then pulled back to a secondary accumulation pattern. Broke through a trading range this year which is the beginning of a major upleg. | 2005-12-01 | |
| BUY | 4.660 | Peter Hodson | The company itself is fine, and if you want fairly liquid exposure to the gold market with some international growth potential as well, it's a pretty good candidate. It's big enough to get acquired and liquid enough that when you do get a 3/4 month gold rally it'll be a beneficiary of that. | 2005-11-17 | |
| BUY | 3.700 | John Embry | In a really good situation. Have a major ore body in Turkey. Now making an entry into China. A very solid intermediate situation. | 2005-11-01 | |
Experts that have talked about Eldorado Gold
