Q: Do you see the trade spat with China and USA having a large negative effect on copper and zinc prices, or small hiccup?
Would you favor HBM here for exposure to copper and zinc for the next 4-6 quarters, or spread money in a basket approach in the four names I mentioned? I know TK is small right now and TV has lots of shares.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I have been following this company for some time as a more contrarian play. I realize the company is in transition with new directions, executive personnel and that the last quarter was a big miss. So today they hit a new annual low. Your thoughts please. Does this price seem like a good entry point or is more patiences required. On the other hand am I just looking for trouble? Ha! Ha!
With respect and thanks...
Ernest

Q: For the past while, I have been watching BCI. I have done well with consolidators, I liked their last earnings / growth yet their presentation (my opinion) was not well delivered. Unfortunately, it has not attracted much volume. This morning they have traded 148 shares and are up 3.61%. Do they need a professional or more effective investor relations team?
Thank you
