wanted to start a thread for stocks that people are high on..

disclaimer: just b/c a stock is mentioned doesn't mean you should buy it, do your due diligence


I bought a few hundred of AUY at 10.70 of AUY.. gonna ride it out for a month
 
FCU Fission uranium. Hot stock, I picked this up at .70 cents last month. Now at 1.42, company has a marvelous property and has had amazing drill results. CEO stated last week he would be shocked if the company isn't taken over by the end of the year. Also BAR, Barmoral resources, great gold play in Quebec. Same profile, great property with excellent drill results and will also be taken out at some point. Of note both these stocks are junior mining stocks and can be quite volatile. I do own plenty of both.
 
Some of the junior mining shares that I wish would explode to more
than 5 to 10 times their current prices are:

Niogold Mining (nox)
Gold Canyon Res (gcu)
St Andrew Goldfields (sas:TSX)
North American Tungsten (ntc)
Gold Standard Ventures (gsv)

All except sas trade on the venture index.
 
I read about suncor, not sure about it at this stage..feel like i missed the boat

Mining stocks turned me off...mainly because of Sheritt. I'm thinking I should just cut my losses with that stock

Sheritt has been in the penalty box for years because of its Cuban operations.
 
Anybody has views on Potash?
 
Walmart - WMT
General Mills - GIS

Japan and one or more of the European countries will default in the next 3 - 7 years (I cant predict the exact month and year of default, obviously). When this happens, all stocks will be hit, worldwide. Those stocks that are basic, bread and butter stocks, with strong balance sheets, a simple business, and, one that does well in downtimes, will at least not lose its value too much.

You want to be in the deep discounters space and in food stocks. People will spend money on food and buy something at Walmart before they will buy a new GM or Ford vehicle, at least in bad times.

Japan has a debt-to-GDP ratio of about 2.5 times. They are spending 9% into deficit each year and only getting 2.5% growth. They are only paying 0.76% on their 10 year bonds - and with no coupon - but eventually, that will change. People will first go to the U.S. for safety, but I think even the U.S. is in trouble. I actually think Canada is in a better position.

It will be a 'guns and butter' economy 10 years from now. At least for a short while.
 
Sorry, but if you think 'all stocks will be hit, worldwide' I can't see a justification for being in stocks.

And why would Warren Buffett buy Suncor last week?
 
European stocks have attractive valuations. I am overweight US, Europe and underweight Canada and EM.

Are you buying individual stocks on the European exchanges or through ADR's on the NYSE? Or are you doing it through mutual funds/ETF's?
 
Suncor:
The pessimists say they are a higher cost producer.
The reality is they control every step of the process that brings their product to market. (producing, transporting, refining and the gas station) This gives a quality management team a chance to control costs every step of the way which results in higher net backs to the parent company. It's beautiful. If you want to own a quality dividend paying energy company and plan to hold it for a long time then yesterday, today and tomorrow are a great time to buy.

In the US individual stocks. ETFs for Europe since research coverage is light.

Have a wonderful weekend folks!

Yes We're sitting at 40% cash right now. The stocks I do like are MG-t, IPL.UN-T, HCG-T and an etf ZWB-T. Will be looking into VDU-T, its a play on the recovering eu.

As always, do your homework before you buy any stock.

I bought ZWB a little over a year ago, it has done well, the dividend has been dropping but overall I am happy.
 
any uranium stocks that have good funds and minimal loans...are sleeping.
