(Market Call Minute.) You get paid to wait on this one. 3% yield. Could spin out the nickel side and create some value Tweet finance |

Diversified industrial company including fertilizers, coal power, and currently have a big nickel project ramping up in Madagascar. Feels that people are waiting to see how that is going to turn out and what the costs are going to be. Nickel prices, along with a lot of the base metal prices, have not been going the right way.

One of his largest material holdings and he is very positive on it. Has a big project in Madagascar and management has stated that the project is on track. Unfortunately, nickel prices have been extremely weak. Doesn’t expect this will continue forever and this company is a lower cost producer so ultimately they will come out the other side and be in a good situation. Tweet finance |

This has been a dog for 20 years. Why do you look at this one. We are going to be in a bull market in the US and there are 2000 other companies. Why, why, why do people focus on crap? There is 65% upside to his model price, but this is a chronic under performer. Tweet finance |

Highly dependent on the price of nickel. As the price of nickel improves and their new mine starts to work out its kinks, it could be very interesting. Tweet finance |

Just sold his Sherritt bonds because they may restructure the company in a way that is not good for the bonds but is good for the stock. The stock itself with almost 4% yield should give him 10% return. Tweet finance |

8% bond due Nov/18? This is a high yield (junk) bond and has suffered from the Cuba situation over its lifetime. Major underwriters in Canada avoid this company for that reason. He has no problem with this company. Tweet finance |

Thinks their Madagascar mine is close to running. Certainly not running at full capacity yet. Took on a lot of debt to get that nickel mine up and running. This company has always traded at a fairly low valuation multiple to its cash flow and some of that is because it is a bit of a hodgepodge. They have oil and gas assets, coal assets, nickel assets as well as its exposure to Cuba. Can be tricky for investors to figure out. At this point, their leveraged balance sheet is somewhat of a concern. Tweet finance |

(Market Call Minute.) Metal prices on nickel and cobalt as well as thermal coal are working against them right now and she would like to see how their new mine in Madagascar ramps up. Tweet finance |

Perpetually cheap as assets tend to be in political unstable places. Their new mine in Madagascar has had trouble getting up to speed. In the meantime they are burning cash and increasing their debt load. Tweet finance |

On the surface, this would seem to be a really great company with nickel operations in Madagascar coming on. It has a Cuban story that seems like it is ready for a turnaround. Fundamentally the stock is okay but he feels the problem is that it is unloved on the street. There is really no catalyst for the name. Tweet finance |

Big nickel project in Madagascar is taking longer than expected. Now looks like it will probably be in the 2nd half. Increased the dividend. It’s a sum of the parts story. Once their nickel project gets into full production, they have the potential to split themselves up. Feels the sum of the parts is worth more than the whole. 3.3% dividend while you are waiting.

Owns stock and bonds. Bonds outperformed stock. It is a viable company. You are dealing with coal and nickel prices. He thinks it is worth $9-$10 from a net asset value point of view. Have some very good assets. Are undervalued because of assets in Cuba. Pays a nice dividend and increased last quarter even though they missed their numbers. It is cheap at these levels. Thinks it will go higher Tweet finance |
