Q: I was half way to building a recent position in TECK with an average cost in the mid $40's. With the offer on the table, if it was you, would you sell TECK and purchase Capstone or hold for better offers? In the past you have leaned more toward Capstone in the copper space, are you still positive on Capstone?

Q: Materials sector in Canada or US
In my 80s and we have very little to no exposure to any companies in any of the Materials subsectors.
I know that at our age we should probably invest conservatively and consider capital retention as imperative, but the advisers we had in our early income generating years had that strategy and we missed out on massive growth.
Since becoming a member of 5i, I have become bolder and made up a little lost ground, so I have some appetite for growth, but steer clear of absolute gambles.
What would you suggest for any stocks in the materials sector, where there is a moderate dividend, but ample room for growth?

Q: Question on increasing my copper exposure:

I already own some TECK.B, but concerned about the (approx.) 26X PE ratio. Does this concern you?

I'm considering COPX. Yes, comparing an ETF to a stock is a bit apples / oranges. If I believe that International stocks in general will outperform going forward, is this a good choice. I do realize it does have some North American holdings - including TECK.B itself - but the aggregate PE appears to be better value compared just TECK.B.

Perhaps selling TECK.B and just holding all of COPX is a better choice despite the (I think) 0.65 MER. Your thoughts and comments on all this ?

Q: Hi 5i,

My portfolio does not have any meaningful allocation in the basic materials sector. Given the recent drop in equities (and possible future declines) was looking to add some resource stocks. CS and TECK.B in the copper sector looked interesting with the data centre/ chip boom underway.

What are your thoughts on these companies and is there a preference? What would you consider to be a good entry price in the potential market dips to come?

Would also appreciate any other resource stock ideas you might have in this current market.(Aside from Nutrien I know your a fan of and I already own.)

I'm not averse to risk and looking to hold at least 5+ years.

Thank you in advance.

Greg C.
