Q: Hi 5i, an article in Globe today screening for Companies outperforming S&P500,
as well as financial strength in regard to profitability, robustness of balance sheet,
and earnings quality, identified Southern Copper Corp (SCCO-N) as their #1 rank.
Could you please give me your opinion of SCCO, and whether you agree with the
opinions of the screeners.
Q: Good morning 5i - could you please provide an updated opinion on SEA (Seabridge Gold). I am interested in a short/medium term hold for capital gain in a TFSA account and this seems to fit the bill. RBC recently initiated coverage suggesting a key to success is a partnership; which is being sought now. Thanks for your insights.
The price of uranium and subsequently CCJ is on a roll this year. Do you think they both have more room to run and things continue to look rosy for the foreseeable future…or?
Q: I know you're positive on RIO and I'm tempted to buy. But their main game is iron ore, China is their main customer and is not doing that well.
Would you say that the price (undervalued according to Morningstar) largely reflects this?
Thanks jerry
Q: Good morning 5i. I hold GOLD in a non registered account and am down 36% since purchase. I am considering selling to harvest the capital loss. My two part question; What is your outlook on GOLD over the next year? What would you recommend as a surrogate gold investment if I were to sell GOLD? Thanks very much for your great service.
Thanks for your nice answer to Don's question today. (Friday, the 8th of September) regarding commodities. You gave a nice selection of ETFs. Looking at them they all have high concentration of energy sector and metals. MER in 70 or 80 basis points.
I wondered however if it would be better for me to hold XBM and XEG instead and lessen the fees plus opt for these bigger fund names with much higher market cap.
However I know I will miss sectors like corn, soybean, cotton etc.,
BNN had Mr. Rick Rule yesterday and he is of course a Metals and Mining Guru! This plus your answer to Don's question made me think of taking a small position in commodities . Looking at the most efficient and cost effective way to do his. Any thoughts?
Q: Hi all just curious about your opinion on SBSW and noticed it has been a while since any comments were posted. PE and div look interesting just jurisdiction concerns.
