More on Agnico-Eagle Mines

Since Agnico-Eagle Mines may not be well known in the US, I went looking for some analysis that might provide support for the TradeRadar BUY signal. The following is an excerpt from a Business Week article from June 7 titled "Canada's Resource Boom: Five Great Plays" where AEMLW is one of the five:


The weaker U.S. dollar, inflation concerns, and rising demand from the jewelry market out of India, China, and the Middle East with their growing economies have made gold a hot commodity lately. With mining production slipping from a peak in 2001 and more physical bullion being socked away in bank vaults as collateral for gold exchange-traded funds, the supply-demand imbalance has also favored higher prices.

Toronto-based Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited (AEMLW) has only one mine, in Quebec, currently producing gold. But it's poised to grow rapidly as it brings three additional mines in Quebec and projects in Mexico and Finland onstream in the next couple of years. The company has a "tremendous growth profile, and all the growth is coming in politically stable and mining-friendly jurisdictions," says Joe Foster, manager of the Van Eck International Investors Gold Fund. In his view, the stock is undervalued relative to its peers. In addition to trading in Toronto, the American Depositary Receipts trade on the New York Stock Exchange.

Business Intelligence consolidation - who's next?

We have seen a consolidation wave begin in the Business Intelligence space. IBM just bought Cognos and Oracle recently bought Hyperion. SAP just announced they are buying Business Objects after barely having time to digest their recent acquisition of Pilot Software. There are three major database vendors at this time: IBM with their DB2 product, Oracle with their flagship Oracle database and Microsoft with their SQL Server database. IBM and Oracle now have premier, industrial-strength data analysis and reporting products in their product portfolios that complement their core database products. Microsoft has what, Excel? Actually, Microsoft, like IBM and Oracle, has a suite of proprietary tools that do happen to integrate very well with Excel and SQL Server. Still, IT departments are not deploying the Microsoft tools for heavy-duty corporate use. Microsoft is unique among the big three by their lack of a premier reporting product. It seems safe to assume that Microsoft will be the next...
