I really like Metalla, and have stock.... so im invested and see a bull somewhere down the line... where I don't get or don't understand the disconnet is the numbers... when metalla hit NYSE the market hit about 30,000... Gold 1260/oz and Metalla was going 4.96Eur...fast forward 6months later NYSE 26,000...Gold 1784/oz ( second highest price since 2012?) and Metalla is 4.60Eur....If I had bought a couple of 100g gold bars for that money.. I might feel better today....im uneasy but hopeful because I think the modell might work.. but the numbers are not what I would expect by the higher gold price... I just don't really understand it.

[@Tony99410]

I have the same exact question as you. Seeing as you posted this 8 months ago, were you able to find your answer? If so, I would like to ask the same question to you.

[@stillesorrow]

@@Tony99410 Well, I cut my position in half and moved that money to other stocks for now to earn better gains.. I am still impressed by the work Metalla has done.. CEO Brett is really finding( Mining) Royalties.. from the third parties, and they made it in to a Etf, that’s great work.. so I could care less about the small Dividend not being paid out.. they are putting that money to work.. instead of paying it out...if they go below 7 a share I‘ll buy back in and wait it out.. gold is going to hit higher.. just when is the question.. so im buying physical gold at the time..

[@Tony99410]

Good insight. Thanks a lot!

[@Avicena-tf5uj]

This is going to be an excellent royalty and success story. Congrats Mr. Tucker, i will enjoy the ride along with MTA

[@CharlesCherryWatercolors]

Listened to his book on Audible. Good information.

[@themaestro7922]

I liked his distinction between dilution and accretion when it comes to buying royalties with stock. In a way the companies joining become part of their own mutual fund, provided they don't sell the shares. Very much enjoyed your having E. B. on. I did get his new book and read it despite the angle of "beginning gold bug" because it let me learn more about him. Marvelous guests lately!

[@nobodie123]

I appreciated that question also because dilution I've been seeing criticism directed at Metalla for that.

[@dwinnied]

E.B. is easy on the ears (and eyes 😉). He knows how to get investors interested. I love Metalla. Stock has had a nice breakout. This could be a monster.

[@fatalglory777]

Great interview, very in depth questions. I've listened to a bunch of interviews with E.B. on Metalla, but this one got the most into the weeds on the details of how the company works. Much appreciated.

Old school value for investors aside, there is another very good reason for MTA to have a steady divided. Many institutions have dividend requirements for their investments. When the institutional shift occurs to a small PM allotment, this will make MTA very attractive.

[@NQuick-bn7ts]

No dividends now lol

[@kurtk3225]

Core mining "very close to Mt. Rushmore..were not talking about a warzone with lots of problems" 🤔 ........no, not yet anyways. lol!

[@DavidisDawei]

E.B. said he spend a lot of time modeling and referenced the move from $1775 to $2000 in Gold would have a dramatic impact on MTA's stock price. A good follow-up question would have asked him for a specific target as Gold moves up to $1800, $1900, $2000 and beyond.

[@silverbullag4759]

Its impossible give that target,the stock is market sentiment based

[@marcelouellet5548]

since the end of dec. 2019 the share prices of my portfolio 7 pm co. Gained from 59 to 7.7%. Metalia was purchased at 6.59 for a ga-in of only 7.7%.

[@electrostaticat]

I bought Metalla in Jan 2020 and it’s in the red by 8%, meanwhile ELY is up 238% and EMX 63%. MTA is underperforming to say the least.

[@antithesispistopheles937]

George Cranston any idea why?

[@cosmoray9750]

I have recently put a position in Gold Terra Resource. It was between Banyan Resource and GTR. GTR won out because of its geographic location and the head of the company. I got into Geomega Resource but it seems to be going sideways...plus my GR Silver and Minera Alamos is doing quite well. MTA is one I wish I would have bought two years ago. My buddy told me about it at work but I was reluctant. Omg am I regretting this one. Oh...you can't win them all. It was a dollar a share........shoot. I think they did a reverse share......just looked it up and the price is different.

[@AlexSwan]

What broker do you have to use to get MTA? None of the guys I'm signed up with have them... hardly anything in the precious metals sector apart from a couple of big ones. Cheers

The money comparison is humorous. When I was a kid in the 60s, McDonalds advertised a big Mac, coke and fries for a dollar but you get a quarter back. Now I don't think you could get that for less than $10.

[@cryptobex1452]

Hi, I'm an investor in Metalla, I have been listening to Marin Katusa from Katusa research, Have you heard about central banks in different country's having swap line with the federal reserve? And if you have your mines in country's without swaplines, do you know about the risks that Katusa mentions?

[@CRUXInvestor]

Not sure it was ever a real thing. Good marketing only. Normal course of business. See FT articles. Central banks’ demand for dollars is running below levels experienced in the financial crisis, signalling that the Fed's move to flood the markets with funding has eased fears that the global lockdown could trigger a financing crunch. The Fed opened dollar swap lines with more than a dozen other central banks in March as the dollar surged and demand for the currency created severe shortages in the early stages of the crisis triggered by the pandemic. As the dollar is the world’s reserve currency, investors in times of stress seek shelter in the currency and dollar-denominated assets. But demand for the Fed’s supply of dollars has not so far outpaced the levels seen during the financial crisis, the last time the Fed rolled out similar liquidity-boosting measures. A total of $447bn had been drawn down by other central banks by the end of the first week in June, Fed figures show - below the $583bn taken up in December 2008 at the height of the financial crisis. Fed chair Jay Powell noted on Wednesday that “market functioning has improved since the strains experienced in March” while insisting the Fed would continue to support financial markets for many months to come. The majority of dollar funding has gone to the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan but Mexico and South Korea have also tapped the Fed for dollars - the first time central banks in emerging markets have done so.

Now, as the first of these contracts begin to mature, central banks must decide in the coming weeks whether to replace them or return to the financial markets for dollar funding, as they normally do. The first ECB and BoJ swap contracts mature on Thursday; those signed by South Korea and Mexico start to follow two weeks later.

I have the book, own the stock and so far I'm quite impressed. For idiots like myself just do what the smart fellas do. I find no interest in the technicals and all that stuff to be honest, I rather invest into books or listening/watching what the smart ones do and try to do that. So far that approach is starting to work well

[@JHatLpool]

I agree completely with E. B. Tucker's thesis and he is always a very good listen. The company Metalla has a great story behind them. Folks, with Metalla, what happened on 23-Jun-20 ? I have been trawling through the news and I cannot find any reference to events on that day.

I don’t like the price action of MTA at all. I was in the stock for 2 months and it was my worst performer. However if your timeline is 5/10 years they have a nice portfolio. The companies within their portfolio was outperforming in the same timeframe.

[@DavisBlank]

I cannot make sense of the supposed superior value of royalty companies. Why pay 1.5-3x+ NAV when you could just own gold itself? Royalties do not provide any leverage to gold as there is no production cost by which the margin expands from during bull markets. A royalty receiving 1 ounce at $1,500 vs. later at $1,700 has the same percent increase as just simply owning 1 ounce of gold. Ignoring what manic Mr. Market does, the way royalty companies outperform merely owning gold is only by: 1) their mines coming on-line and thus bringing in increased production 2) sizable enough jump in gold price leads to currently producing assets expanding their actual production (not merely accountants adjusting categories of resources) Otherwise its all financial models and accounting that will likely get blown up when the cycle turns against them. Gold price runs up and inferred goes into M&I but won't actually be mined for years and years - this risk is fine if you are an exploration company at 0.5 NAV or developer trading at a slight discount to NAV, but these royalties trade at incredible NAV premiums and even more insane cashflow premiums. The promises and expectations are sky high and I think these will end horribly when the cycle eventually turns. It's even more frightening when he notes that there are other royalties companies approaching miners carelessly throwing borrowed money in huge amounts. This virtually guarantees that this stuff is all being way overpaid for. I note royalty companies are being spun out of everywhere imaginable. It's another bubble sign. Miners think they can create magical 2x value by spinning off royalties of their own assets. It simply does not make sense, someone somewhere is getting or going to get burned by this. In the last cycle everyone ragged on the majors paying stupid prices for mediocre assets and taking huge write-downs a couple years later. I suspect this go around it will be the royalty companies that everyone rags on. Or am I missing something truly magical about paying 40x cashflow for royalties?

[@BumbleTheBard]

The leverage is still there. What you are getting with a royalty isn't a percentage of a pile of bullion but a percentage on future production of gold from a hugely discounted quantity in the ground. The appropriate comparison is with buying a miner, not buying gold bullion. Also, the royalty runs for the lifetime of the mine including future developments if and when the mine extends out to the side or to greater depth. As the mine expands, that's free money to the royalty owner. It provides less leverage than a miner, but is much less risky, hence the premium price.

[@tinslatee]

Ely is a real growing royalty as well as Sandstorm.. MTA is more of a promo company . Losing money and all its cash flow goes towards paying their dividend. Makes no sense for a growing company. Unless you are using it as an income stream for management. Rob McEwen does the same thing with Abitibi . It is McEwen's largest income stream but it stifles growth.

[@johnsmith9731]

MTA have a royalty because it's required to do the deals with their corp partners they use the stock in the transaction. It seems they are shifting to buying more cash flow assets now which is good and needed for the company to grow. Ely is really good but has spikes a lot in price, Nomad is something to look into as well.

I like to look at the comments first and THIS IS A SHOCKER. You like the short one sentence comments only like "love this guy he is the best". This tells me a lot about your intellect, sir. "He is back the legend" fits your intellect as well. "Another great interview" suits as well. And number four is "MTA lonnggggg! Nice work EB". Well yes, nice work CRUX. Remember, you asked for comments and I do the favour. I am kind of shocked, who you want to be. Maybe just coincidence. I do not use the service of reading answers, so do not bother. I am out at 0:40. I am not interrested in Royalties as I understand them as cancer on a living body. Thought about listening, but this seems to be a US soap. When you started you cooked my brain, sir. But "love the guy, he is the best" - does not even warm my toe. Have a nice week-end, sir.

[@1faustus]

You read all the comments but only lasted 40 seconds in the video? Unique method of evaluating an argument. Do you read one line sneers about movies to avoid paying for a cinema trip too? If you are shocked by KZbin comments you need to get out more. Form your own opinion for God's sake by evaluating evidence and ideas not by being for or against one line comments from unknown people. You said yourself that you have a prejudice against the idea but then judge the idea by off hand comments rather than listen to the argument itself. I read the comments for perspectives and counter arguments too. I see stupid comments just as you do. Yours was the dumbest of all.
