Q: Hi, what is your current view on Trevali? Is this a good entry point? It seems so to me based on decent zinc pricing and a forward PE of only around 4(!)? Do you see strength or weakness in Zinc demand in the next year? If the commodity demand is strong, Trevali seems poised to go much higher this year, but no one seems interested right now?

Q: I thought that Bellatrix was making the right moves to return to financial health - and that may be true, But this year the first quarter shows a loss of $12.9M compared with a profit of $13M in 2017. While this was partly due to lower commodity prices, the company says "The decrease in net profit period over period is primarily due to a decrease in the unrealized gain on commodity contracts (. . . )". If I have an unrealized gain on stocks I own it is because I haven't sold them yet. But what is an unrealized gain on commodity contracts ? Is this just a paper loss or a real loss that investors should worry about ?

Q: I am retired living off dividend income. I am tempted to add 1/4 position to an already full position of BCE as the price is now looking very attractive at 53.2/share yielding 5.7%.
53 has been the support base since April 2016 and 60 has been the resistance.
Has anything fundamentally changed with BCE to explain the drop in price? Or is it simply because interest rates are rising so the market is rotating from higher yielding stocks?
Would you add at the current price, or wait until BCE forms a base as it is still in a downtrend looking at the 8, 20, 50 day moving averages?

Q: I understand that many former technology companies such as Google are being re-classified as Communications Sector. These companies are widely held in many ETF's and Index funds. This ultimately changes the ETF and Index components and may generate unplanned capital gains or losses.
Is this correct and in your opinion does it happen often?
thanks
