Q: Over the past few years I have purposely avoided the materials and energy sectors. By doing so I outperformed the market from 2012 to 2015. This year the market is outperforming my portfolio handily largely due to large increases in these sectors. Could you provide 3 companies in each sector that I may consider purchasing for a long term hold. I am interested in companies that pay a dividend and have some opportunity for capital appreciation.

Q: May I have your thoughts on the latest news from Aquila? They appear to have obtained some permits from the authorities and the stock was bid up on Friday. Is bulk sampling on the horizon or are they more likely to diamond drill the ore body to get a better handle on the grades and consistency?. Are the option holders in the money?
Thank you.

Q: I am confused on this company and their special .45cent dividend. Yesterday you stated that you felt that the company stock would drop today as its the ex-dividend date.
However the company's news release on 8.4.16 stated that it would be paid to shareowners as of Sept 2nd. I have been careful not to sell my shares until this date and now, as you predicted, the price of the shares have fallen today. My thought was that today's date simply referred to the 1.5cent regular dividend.

Based on the 13% drop in the share price (4.20 to 3.65) I even acquired more shares thinking I would be getting more of the special dividend. However reading your answer from yesterday after my purchase, I might have snookered myself. (Wouldn't be the first time...)
Can you clear up this up for me.
