Q: Morning team,

It seems like base metals, especially copper, have been on a run lately, and I keep hearing the narrative that all the global government stimulus is/will fuel a bull market based around infrastructure spending. My questions are; 1) do you generally agree with this theory?, and 2) which base metals companies do you prefer? So far I've been looking at RIO, TECK, and FCX.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Q: What would you include in a "hard asset" strategy to offset global currency devaluation? Obviously gold is a hedge, but what other sectors would you include - metals, materials (all commodities?), REITs, real estate, infrastructure holdings, maybe even utillities? Please include a few names to consider. Thanks.

Q: Hi everyone.
I have several questions so please take as many credits as needed.
1. Can you recommend an ETF for Japan? Several experts have recommended diversifying out of NA and into Japan.
2. Do you foresee a relative shortage in copper supply in the near future? If so, can you recommend a natural resource company that would benefit from the increased copper demand.
3. Do you know of an American equivalent to BNN?

Q: Hello 5i,

I know you have a bullish view of zinc and recommend TV (which I currently own) for exposure to the metal. I'm wondering if you also have a bullish view on copper?
If so, what would be your recommended strategy for exposure to this base metal? Would you recommend owning a company that is exposed to both metals, or two separate companies that focus on each metal?

Thanks again and Merry Christmas!
