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

Q: I have no metals or minerals in my portfolio. I seem to be getting a late start on this sector but I was deterred by negative EPS in most of these companies. If you could suggest one company to start, what would you suggest. I am a balanced investor and have been looking at LIF because of its dividend and HBM and CS for growth and concentration in copper.

Q: 1) I understand uranium(yellow cake) is on an upward trend. Is there a website where one can access this information.
I understand U-TSX(labrador iron) is not a true indication of uranium prices.
2) Iron ore, it is my understanding that some of the production for this commodities has been closed down. So is there some way to check to see where the supply/demand ratio is changing to a positive outlook. So the question is, LIF-TSXLabrador Iron) do you feel the div. for this stock is safe.
3) Quarterly reports,what is the easiest way to fine out when a company is going to submit the report, & would they be the same time each year.

Q: I had held LIF for a few years and sold it earlier this fall to take advantage of a tax loss. Am thinking of buying back in once Tax Loss Selling season starts (late Nov). Materials would represent 10% of my Cdn Equity portfolio broken down between SJ, AGU, AFN and LIF in fairly equal percentages.
In the short term I am buying primarily for the dividend income and understand Capital Appreciation may not take place for a few years till Iron Ore prices improve.
Your thoughts on my plans for the materials section of my portfolio and at current Iron Ore prices is LIFs dividend secure?

Q: Big drop in LIF yesterday. Is this related to the announcement that they will be requesting shareholder approval to allow flexibility to invest in metal or mineral royalties and issue shares to finance such investments? Does this mean investments beyond Iron Ore?
What do you think this means for the company short and longer term. I have been adding to my position recently and was planning another purchase to bring to a full position. Would this be a good time to add or wait for further weakness or move on.
This has been and will continue to be a long term hold for income and long term growth.
