Q: Hi Peter and everyone at 5i,
Regarding Teresa's question about copper earlier today, here's an article from the Financial Post that illustrates copper's role in the potential for an electric vehicle sales uptick expected by the author:

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!

Q: Hi, what is your outlook for base metals for the next 12 months?
Do you feel a need to have exposure?
If so, please rank the above three in terms of your preference. If you have a favourite outside of the list, please share. I own a bit of teck.b already.
Thank you
Karim

Q: How is a metals producer usually valued? I see Scotiabank has an adjusted eps calculation, but I wonder if book value should also be considered. I calculate an BV/sh of approx. $15 form their recent filings today. In your opinion what would be a reasonable price range for this company at todays copper/gold prices +/-10%?
Thanks, Gordon

Q: just did a deal with suimitomo for $1 billion for a 13 %interest in a US copper mine.(morenci).
according to the talking heads this deal values copper at a minimum $3 per pound and has moved FCX stock nicely.
my question is with FM. this announcement seems to have moved the stock.would a small position be advisable 1 or 2% As I have learned these stocks move quickly in both directions.If you believe the sky is not falling ,there should be a bid for copper as this deal indicates.
Thx Blake
