Stock Talk Podcast Episode 74

This week in our Your Stock, Our Take segment we take a look at, Alacer Gold Corp. (ASR:TSX), a low-cost junior-intermediate gold producer, with two producing operations in Turkey. The company recently completed a significant sulfide production plant, at its Çöpler Gold Mine which is now set to produce 3.5 million ounces at low costs, generating robust free cash flow for approximately the next 20 years, albeit in a risky geopolitical arena. With the uptick in the price of gold, a listener asks us if Alacer is a good option going forward. Our Star of the Week is, Skechers U.S.A., Inc. (SKX:NYSE), the popular marketer and manufacturer of Skechers-branded lifestyle footwear for men, women and children. The stock was up 15.5% this week, 25.5% in the last month and is up 33% year-to-date. We let you know what is driving the move and whether it is sustainable. Finally, our Dog of the Week is, NFI Group Inc. (NFI:TSX), a global manufacturer of buses operating under several brands. NFI vehicles incorporate a wide range of drive systems including: clean diesel, natural gas, diesel-electric hybrid, and zero-emission electric (trolley, battery, and fuel cell applications). The former TSX darling has seen its share price drop 12% over the last 6 trading days and 19% over the last month. Is it a Dog or opportunity?
