Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have never been a fan of timing the commodity cycle. However, I am looking at taking positions in one or more of LUN, LIF and TECK.B. While TECK has been higher the other two are at new or near their all time highs. In your estimation, do these stocks (all company specific issues aside) just keep going higher while the global environment is positive? Can you please rank them on overall gains on the one hand and relative safety on the other? But do you think they will all just be pummeled (as per usual) during the next global recession and/or first signs of overcapacity? Thank-you.

Q: How will the Iron Ore Company ("IOC") fire at reclaimer no. 2 at IOC's port facilities affect profits going forward for LIF ? Are there other economic head winds that could affect profitability? Will President Biden's infrastructure bill be a positive for LIF if passed ? Is it a strong buy for a 3 -5 year investment ? Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team
I'm considering inserting a materials sector in portfolio as I am suspecting they are undervalued. Looking at 5 stocks for 1.5% each. 1 each for Gold, Silver, Copper, Steel and Agriculture. Would the 5 names submitted be the best in your opinion or would you change any. Looking for reasonable safety and growth.
Thanks. Gilles

Q: During recent research, I discovered a theory that even in our times of extreme volatility I should seek out companies that exhibit the following characteristics:
1. They have a history of growing dividends for investors.
2. They have a history of growing their earnings.
3. They trade at valuations that make sense.
So, based on these variables, and your years of experience, please provide me with the names of several Canadian companies that have these characteristics.
