Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: When I was still using the services of a broker/adviser, I was persuaded to buy some Teck Resources TCK.B when it was having a good run. It dropped considerably after that. I’m no longer using a broker/adviser and during the summer, I doubled down on this stock and bought at a good price. I am finally at a situation where I am breaking even and the shares represent 5% of our total Registered plans. We are retired and are looking forward 10-15 years max., but need some growth and income in the meantime. Should I hold on?

Q: Good morning. Re: OSK Osisko.
OSK at a $9 cost basis is my only gold stock.. It now appears likely that no other bidders will emerge - would you agree with selling OSK at current bid price and buying Goldcorp? (I hate gold stocks)

Q: Sherritt Int. (S) I have a small “speculative” position (ACB $3.73) that I had been acquiring on the premise that they would do something with the Coal assets and become predominantly a Nickel Miner/Refiner and when the Nickel market improves have a good mid/longterm upside potential.

They have sold the Coal assets but I hadn’t contemplated the Obed spill and George Armoyan’s “activism” and the pending “Proxy fight”. Shareholder activism is generally a good thing. If nothing else it tends to remind the Management and BOD of their responsibility to the Shareholders. In this case I am not sure what George Armoyan has to offer if he is successful in his effort to basically take over the BOD. I am not aware that he or his two other BOD nominees have any International Mining experience.

Your thoughts will be appreciated. Would you hold a “small speculative position” and see how things play out or get out of the way and watch from a distance? I am basically a mid/longterm investor and have learned that having patience with a company that is going through a rough patch can be very rewarding.

Q: I have a small position in Denison (DML) but am thinking of increasing it. In the past you have been cautious on uranium sector. There are only a few DML questions asked and not many recent. Can you please provide your opinion on DML as an investment that I plan to hold for at least 5 years or an alternative equity/ETF in this sector. Thanks again and again!

Q: Hello team, thanks for the well reasoned reply to my AYA question. I am thinking it may be time to add an industrial mining company to my portfolio, like a VALE for iron ore or TCK or FM in the coal or copper space. I have no miner exposure presently. Your only miner is in gold. What would you do here? Are you tempted to add one to your portfolio as a value play on eventual global recovery to include these stocks. Many thanks.
