Q: Hi 5i Team
I'm considering inserting a materials sector in portfolio as I am suspecting they are undervalued. Looking at 5 stocks for 1.5% each. 1 each for Gold, Silver, Copper, Steel and Agriculture. Would the 5 names submitted be the best in your opinion or would you change any. Looking for reasonable safety and growth.
Thanks. Gilles

Q: By pure coincidence, I bought CP near the peak last week right before it announced the proposed acquisition of Kansas City Southern. Obviously not ideal timing and I am looking at a small loss. Would you hold here or roll the capital into a different railway for exposure to the space? (I'm looking for industrial exposure)

Q: One has to wonder if the proposed sale of some stores by Couche-Tard isn't setting them up financially to purchase the convenience stores from Suncor. This has been noted here before.

I hold both so am watching closely.

Q: I currently hold TD Bank series 12 preferred shares (TD.PF.G) and they are coming up to a five year anniversary upon which they can be voluntarily converted to series 13 preferreds. The series 12 have an initial 5.5% payout and their first reset is another 5 years down the road at the 5 year Government of Canada rate + 4.66%. The series 13 preferreds have a floating quarterly rate of the 90 day T-Bill + 4.66%. With interest rates likely to rise would you recommend exercising the conversion privilege? Also, would you happen to know the trading symbol for the series 13 preferreds?

Q: Hello Peter,
What is your view on the earnings for both MP materials and neo performance in the rare earth space? Also, why did MP materials take such a big hit today (more than 15 percent). Is it a good time to add to MP as this might be short lived? Thanks very much.

Q: Hi,
Maybe not the forum, where I need to ask about this.

Salaries/income has stayed flat over the past couple of years....the real estate prices have increased SUBSTANTIALY.

How long can this party last? The disconnect between income and house prices is just growing and growing.....infinitum .

Here is my Question.
How long can the near zero rates continue ? If this monetary policy is making the real estate sector and the stock market boom, then should the Govt not continue this zero interest rate policy FOR EVER ? I am not good at finance/economics, could you please explain, why would any Govt. ever increase rates, if low rates generate growth ?
