Thanks

Q: SQM seems to be having environmental assessment problems. I believe the mine pumps up a lithium brine ground water. I think this water is allowed to evaporate in the desert sun to produce a lithium rich concentrate. Not sure if they inject water back into the ground to replace what has been taken out. That would add considerable expense to the whole operation. Do you feel SQM's mining operation is sustainable? The share price of SQM looks to be quite volatile over the past 10 years. I'm guessing demand is increasing slowly and the stock volatility has more to do with investor's short term passion followed by lack of passion for lithium. In addition I suppose SQM is a material's company so volatility comes with the territory. I remain undecided on the company and any thoughts you might have would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Q: Hi, could I please have your view on this ETF. It is small in AUM but seems to have a lot of underlying holdings. Wondering if these holdings are relatively mature stable companies (for China!) like utilities, telcos, banks etc.. Would you consider the distribution relatively stable? Also is it currency hedged to the Canadian $. Thanks.

Q: Any thoughts on how the pound will fare in the next 6 months? My thoughts are that the Great Britain needs the EU more than the EU needs Great Britain. My guess the EU will play a little "hardball" with Britain so the value of the pound will decline. Of course a declining pound should help British exports...just like a weak currency helps Canadian exports. I'm not intending to short the pound. Just curious. (A pound currency at one point was backed by a pound of silver. Now the pound currency is worth about a tenth of one ounce of silver. I believe we call that inflation!)

Jim

What are your thoughts about these companies?
Which one has the better financial ability to see the end of the vaccine development, approval and production of the vaccine (if their vaccine will prove itself successful).

Q: Hi Guys
I just use these 2 ETFS to cover the World it keeps it simple, I was told Canada only represents 3% of the World so that is the weighting i use, would you find that an acceptable weighting. Also. VXC has Japan at 8% and China at 4.5% would this be acceptable or would you add another ETF to compliment the 2 listed above, to get a higher exposure to China and other countries, and if so at what percentage weighting.
Thanks Gord
