Q: My total holdings are highly diversified across the sectors. I have some cash in a USD RRSP so dividends and some growth is welcome. I am looking to RIO, TECK, WFG, WMB and CCJ for their respective thematic relevance over a 3 -5 yr hold and would appreciate your comments on your one or two more favoured of this list.

My thanks.

Q: In my total holdings, I am very well diversified across sectors (perhaps need to increase Industrials). Specifically, in an USD RRSP acc't, I am 20% cash after some adjustments (high-grading and trimming).

In this acc't, I am considering WFG, CCJ, RIO for the thematic and fundamental merits of each of the three. Which might hold the best growth possibilities going forward and why?

My thanks.

Q: I suspect these companies will be important as technology advances and we need those raw materials. Thoughts on that? Also the yields seem very high are they covered by cash flow or are the higher yields a reflection of the low share price?

Q: Peter & Co,
Nickel 28's Stock price (C$0.89) certainly does not appear to reflect the production, production growth, earnings or earnings growth of this nickel/cobalt miner.

EPS – Q3 US$0.07/share, Q1-3 US$0.19/share

P/E – 2.74x (assuming Q4 similar to Q3 and converting US$ to C$)

Debt - $79 million, down from 107.1 in Q3 2020

Cash – US$3.84 million

Product Pricing – Nickel and cobalt pricing is very strong and is projected to remain so.

I find this stock price to be very frustrating. What problem am I missing? Chinese partner? Venture Exchange? Microcap? Illiquid? Geography?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: I bought RIO at around $76 US and it has been going down ever since. I plan to hold on to this stock for 3+ years and just wondering if this is sector related?
If it's sector or cyclical related, would you pick up a bit more at the lower price or wait until there is momentum again?

thanks,

Paul

Q: Regarding Robert's question this morning about withholding taxes on foreign dividends:
It is my understanding that there are no withholding taxes on the dividends of companies headquartered in the U.K.
I have never had taxes withheld on my U.K. holdings (BTI, BP, AZN). RIO plc is also headquartered in the U.K.

This is a very informative website:

Q: I have a two energy stocks (SU & IMO), but I don't have any mining/resource stocks. BNN mentioned both RIO and BHP Group as having good potential and also good inflation picks. I'm thinking about picking up the above two and also LUN and possibly CMMC. Do you see any problems with this combination for a conservative investor?

thanks for the great service!
