Q: Copper has shown a remarkable run, over past 6-9 months and Technical analysts like the move, and believe. it has lot more room to go, after almost a 10 year consolidation.

We took an exposure to Copper, through Hudbay Minerals, with an initial 1% position, during the pull back earlier this week.

What are your thoughts on the commodity/miners and what would be a reasonable weighting in a portfolio similar to 5i Balanced ?

Dou you like HBM ? Or, you would prefer to have Copper exposure through COPX, or any Large/Mid Cap Canadian names and why ?

Thank You

Q: I have a position in ERO, but after seeing a recent commentary in the Globe about its “limited upside” compared to Capstone or Hudbay Minerals, I’m thinking of switching from ERO to either CS or HBM, position size the same for my risk tolerance. What do you think of this idea?

Q: Already hold TECK.B and looking to add another Cdn base metals company. Considering FM, LUN and ERO. FM seems to be trading at roughly double the multiple of earnings and EBITDA compared to LUN, ERO and TECK.B. Two questions.

(1) Why does FM trade at such a high multiple compared to the others?

(2) Please rank FM, LUN and ERO on a scale of 1-10 for a desirable add to a diversified portfolio that is a low on base metals exposure.

I read that gold, grain (wheat?), copper, paladium and nickel have reached new highs.
If so, I'd be grateful to know what stocks you would prefer to own to cover some or all of these, plus an assessment of the key metrics for your view.
Thank you for your highly appreciated viewpoints.
