Investment Q&A

Q: Hello,

Any thoughts on the recent pull back with Capstone Mining? Is this company specific, and do you think copper has reached its limit? Just wondering if I should continue holding or get out. The news out of China isn't helping, just hope this is a blip.

Thanks,
Raj

Q: Are the cryptocurrency ETFs considered as a currency? And are they still subject to this 30 day tax sale rule?

Q: I hold Eric's Energy Fund (NPP314) in my TFSA and have averaged down multiple times in the past. I understood I was probably catching a falling knife, but I believed in his expertise and was also building a position. Now I am up roughly 20% and believe there is more room for his Fund to run. NPP314 represents about 40% of my energy exposure. Most of the balance is held within my ETF exposures (CDZ, ZWC, etc.).

With the recent creation of Eric's ETF (NNRG), what do you recommend? Should I wait until the ETF has been around for a while (like you recommend for other new ETFs) or should I just switch now? What are the Pros vs Cons (aside from the 2.5% vs 1.5% fee that I see in the May 18/21 question)? Will the holdings be identical? Could you please add NNRG to your data base...thanks.

Thanks for your help...Steve

Q: Parex news reports. in addition to mentioning the impressive buyback program, have been referring to Columbian riots that have been impacting its ability to distribute its product. I don't anticipate any big insights on Columbian politics but has Parex released any news that might indicate whether the recent declines are more opportunity than "imminent collapse"?

Q: Hi, MX has just broken down below its 200 day moving average. Does that give you any change of heart from your most recent comments? Still a recovery play?

Q: Based on the scanty information in the article you recently printed and the fact that NBLY is very close to an IPO, does this company warrant a starter position when the shares become available lto the public? Do you think a share price of $15.00 )plus or minus) is a fair and relevant price for openers? Apparently many drug store chairs have flourished by biying up smaller chairs, and then get swallowed up by the biggest national chairs for big bucks. Could the same happen to NBLY?

Thanks for your continued help.

Q: What an interesting approach to my enquiry. I'm currently in the midst of a 30 day free trial and thus far I have posed two questions to your team. The first was answered professionally. The second was met with disdain and an indication that I am "out of credits" and should renew my membership. Fascinating. If anyone of any importance sees this and would like to take action to perhaps answer my second question, which was about GSBD:US, that would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Good morning team,
With regards to the run up on copper prices over the last year my concerns are about China's warning on the high price and it's possible "clampdown" on the excessive speculation within it's country.For now, the price of copper has been pausing ,but the forces of demand due to expanding economies ought to push prices higher.How could China's "warnings"affect earnings of all copper producers looking at two or three years down the road?

Q: TRP.PR.J is being redeemed at the end of this month. Are there any signs or warnings that a company may be redeeming their preferred shares?
