Investment Q&A

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

Q: I've read a lot about the bullish sentiment on copper pricing. Which Canadian company might you suggest as a copper play?

Q: Gold and silver stocks have not moved with the same velocity as the commodity itself and now appear to offer some of the best value in market. Given the current situation can you recommend 3 or 4 gold or silver stocks that have an operating mine, in a safe jurisdiction and have reasonable "all in sustaining costs" AISC

Q: Hi 5i. Any thoughts on the copper market? What are your favorite copper oriented stocks/etf and why.

Thanks so much!
