Investment Q&A

Q: In the past I have not been a buy and hold investor in commodities. I try to purchase cyclical stocks when they are out of favour and sell when I have made some money with the thought that they will eventually be "on sale" again in the future to buy back in. I have been patient and have held CS, Teck,B, HBM and LUN for a few years and have done really well on them all, especially recently. Is it time to cash in and be thankful for the gains or is the underlying demand for copper (and other materials) strong enough to continue this outperformance. Hold, Sell or buy more? Curious what you would be doing in this case.

Second question - Flutter took a hit because of investor concerns over competition from the prediction market platform Kalshi. Is this a serious threat to Flutter or is the market big enough for all? Are you still as bullish on FLUT as you used to be? Stock has teased us with some nice runs up but seems to fall back.

Thanks for all you do, couldn't be happier.

Q: Why has Lundin Mining skock price increased so much lately.

Q: Regardless of sector and size, which order would you initiate a position in these stocks?

Q: I was half way to building a recent position in TECK with an average cost in the mid $40's. With the offer on the table, if it was you, would you sell TECK and purchase Capstone or hold for better offers? In the past you have leaned more toward Capstone in the copper space, are you still positive on Capstone?

Q: It's at a 30 year high it seems like, it is hitting the upward end of analysts price targets and there is recent insider selling by the CFO. Should I just take my profits and buy lower? or is there a better stock to buy in the sector? And if there is what's a good price to get in on your "better stock"?

Thank you

Q: What is the best company to benefit from higher copper prices long term? Currently own Teck but increasingly frustrated with frequent downward production revisions.

Thank you.

Q: Could you please provide an update on Teck. Copper is at a very high price while this company seems to be struggling. If the outlook is questionable do you have another recommendation in the sector?

Thanks for such a great service.

Dave.

Q: Hi 5i.

Lundin Mining recently dropped its quarterly dividend from $0.09 to $0.0275. I can't seem to find an explanation for this anywhere, though. Do you know what the reason is?

Q: I plan to invest in LUN in my TFSA for potentially some capital gain + copper demand+dividends,what are then risks ( including tariffs)vs favorable points ?

Q: How would you rank these stocks,why,and entry price? Thanx.

Q: Hi, I have a small position in LUN with 28% loss. Should I hold it or sell it to invest the money in a better company and take advantage of the tax loss as well? Your thoughts?
Thank you

Q: Good Day,

Edit: I got to the end of this and realize there is a lot to unpack here. My apologies and please forgive the transient nature of my ADD brain. Take however many credits you need.

I really enjoyed Jonathans question and your subsequent answer on Oct 10. Continuing on that thread, I too consider myself primarily a growth investor, and have a fairly high tolerance for risk. However, in contradiction (somewhat) to that, I also Love equities with a DRIP program.

I'm planning on making a significant contribution to my RRSP investment account to hopefully capitalize on some opportunities/ tax loss selling in the end of the year, and enjoying the tax break in April.

1. I think? I have a pretty solid basket of growth names, significantly from 5i recommendations. CALF CLBT CROX MSFT NVDA POWL SMCI TCS TMDX AMZN ASPN HPS LMN TVK VRT. In the growth space, Please provide 6 recommendations (CAD, US) ranked in decreasing order of preference that you would consider beneficial to these. If any of these current positions are in a very attractive place to add, you could suggest that with a why.

2. In the dividend/DRIP space, I have DE CHE.UN ZWT BAM SU PPL. About a month ago, I sold my BEP and BNS and rolled them in to my double up my BAM, which paid off, but am considering a re-buy. Reading the questions lately, you have been big on BNS and TD, but seem to contradict yourselves on it. Often recommending BNS over TD, only to recommend to someone that holds both to cut BNS over TD if only one is to be held. Are they that close in terms of future runway/room to grow/total returns? With my Love of DRIPs, would you give the edge to BNS due to the higher dividend? Could you recommend 3 - 5 options in this space, preferably holdings that would require less than 10K (20K for very high conviction) invested to DRIP a unit. ETFs are OK with low fees and higher Dividend.

3. In Jonathans question you commented on Materials being a great addition to a growth investors portfolio as a semi uncorrelated diversification. I've held LUN and LIF in the past, but with the power demands and resurgence of Nuclear, are there better options out there? Please provide 2-3 dividend paying and up to 5 growth options in this space.

4. Is GOOG a buy here? I fully agree that the impact was way overblown. Is it worth getting into one of the 2x leverage tickers for GOOG if ones conviction is very high? Is there any company you would consider a leveraged holding on? If so, which?

Thanks for everything!!!

James
