Q: I bought 3000 shares of NSU for income last November and I am now down 18.5%. It is currently near its all time low. Is there any reason to keep holding this. What do you think of using the money to buy ZPH, a new ETF recommended by Berman? Or other?
Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Q: Ann Sabina in her book "Rocks and Minerals For The Collector: Cobalt-Belleterre-Timmins; Ontario & Quebec" notes the Agaunico Mine produced 4 million pounds of cobalt between 1930 to 1957. The was no South Lorraine mine. There were silver mines located in South Lorraine township which produced some cobalt in addition to silver. I suggest the members be very careful purchasing shares in companies which have optioned old mines in South Lorraine township. I am going up to the region for a wedding this summer and I will let the members know if I see any signs of new exploration. (My claims have all lapsed!)
Voisey Bay mine in Labrador, purchased by Inco, now incorporated into Vale was once reported to have substantial reserves of cobalt. Members might want to check that out over South Lorraine township.
10 foot touching poles are required for mines in South Lorraine township.

Q: The value of this ETF seems to have been holding steady at between $19.50 and $20.00 over the past year. What would make this ETF move higher or lower ? There is now talk of interest rates starting to move up, plus speculation that the Fed will get rid of some of its bond holdings. Are either of those likely to have any effect on value of this ETF ?
