Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: BTO has been dropping fast (20 cents) after there was a rumour on May 23 that it was pursuing an adquisition in Zimbabwe . Clive Johnson sent an email on the same day indicating the contrary. Is the drop related to the rumour ?, and is this an opportunity to buy some more ?, or there are some bad news/developments that can explain the recent drop . Thanks

Market chatter May 23 , B2Gold (BTG) is considering the purchase of the idled Shamva gold mine in Zimbabwe, if it may be exempted from a law that requires producers to sell all the metal to the country's central bank, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing sources familiar with the matter.

If B2Gold proceeds with the purchase from owner Metallon, it will invest $150 million to $200 million in developing the mine, one of the sources said. The company is willing to pay about a third of the book value Shamva, which was last assessed at $167 million seven years ago, the source added.

Q: I had been using BTO as a stock to swing trade and sometimes day trade based on the swings in gold. I have done well with this strategy but after the most recent quarter have lost some confidence in this stock. I am looking for a replacement. Can you please recommend 2 gold stocks that meet my criteria: sufficient liquidity for me to easily move in and out of $80k positions, solid overall financial and production metrics and solid enough overall that if I need to hold the position for a few months I can be comfortable knowing I have a solid company. I have no current gold exposure.

Q: I currently hold a 4% position in BTO. I don't generally like this sector but have been holding because its "generally recommended" to hold 5% gold/metals position. Right now I'm flat on it so there is no cap/gain or loss to influence a trade.
Do you consider BTO ok to hold at this level and/or should I hold lets say 2% positions in two or three alternatives and if so what would you recommend?
My time frame is 10 years plus.
Thanks
John

Q: Further to another users question on BTO, I recognize internal executives will sell their shares for many reasons. However, any additional insight given the insider selling reported by the G&M today?

Q: Company is "projecting transformation growth" and a "dramatic increase in consolidated cash flow from operating activities over the next 3 years". 1st quarter results were quite good and and yet the stock seems to be stuck in neutral! With a PE of 26ish, is the good news already baked into the stock price or do you see value here.
