Q: Hi again 5i,
Could I have your thoughts on the prospects for copper generally and CS particularly over the next 6 months or so? I understand China might have a lot to do with where copper goes but I don't feel very confident about analyzing the economics and/or geopolitics that affect copper miners and producers. Not long ago CS was looking very strong but very quickly it seems to have lost its lustre - is this just par for the course for commodities or are the swings accelerating as the pace of events and news travels ever faster?
Thanks,
Peter

Q: As a Covid recovery stock I tend to agree with Mr Branson's philosophy on airlines { AC } . " The best way to become a millionaire is to invest $2.5 billion in an airline " . And Mr. Buffet " Hi my name is Warren and I'm an airoholic . Please talk to me until the urge to buy an airline passes " ...... So I am more inclined to go with someone who services them like CAE or MAL . Though the difference in market cap is huge I'm leaning toward MAL based on current valuation, a juicy dividend, and it doesn't appear particularly volatile .....I know 5I likes both but if you were going to give the edge to one today which one would it be and why ? Also when does each one next report earnings ?

Q: I am up over 100% with Moderna. I had originally purchased it for a shorter-term hold, about 6 months to 1 year, but with huge populations still to vaccinate, I'm thinking I should continue to hold. But, now, After moving from 240 to 340 in a few days, I wonder if it is too inflated. Is this hype because of the Delta variant, or is there real value in the stock at this price?

Q: I read in the G&M that iron ore prices were basically at their peak, by some estimates. I bought LIF in January, knowing it in a cyclical industry. I am a buy and hold investor but I knew I would not hold on to LIF for very long i.e. 1-2 years at most I made a nice profit since then and received 2 delightful dividends… How can one estimate the likelihood that LIF’s share price can grow from here and jump out if in all probability it is not going to materially grow in the next year or so? The SP has not been this high in 10 years. What would be factors that would lead us to believe the SP will continue marching higher in this case? Thanks.

Q: Hello,
I’m 32 and currently in the early stages of my investing journey with a long time horizon and medium-high risk tolerance.
My question is about “safe” dividend stocks set as DRIPs. At this point is it worth holding onto equities such as Enbridge, Bell, and Algonquin that are typically held for income or should I focus more on high growth given my 20+ year time horizon? I currently hold around 20 stocks and these stocks comprise 15% of my portfolio. They are also the only stocks I hold in the energy, utilities and telecom sector.
Thank you
