Investment Q&A

Q: In the past I have not been a buy and hold investor in commodities. I try to purchase cyclical stocks when they are out of favour and sell when I have made some money with the thought that they will eventually be "on sale" again in the future to buy back in. I have been patient and have held CS, Teck,B, HBM and LUN for a few years and have done really well on them all, especially recently. Is it time to cash in and be thankful for the gains or is the underlying demand for copper (and other materials) strong enough to continue this outperformance. Hold, Sell or buy more? Curious what you would be doing in this case.

Second question - Flutter took a hit because of investor concerns over competition from the prediction market platform Kalshi. Is this a serious threat to Flutter or is the market big enough for all? Are you still as bullish on FLUT as you used to be? Stock has teased us with some nice runs up but seems to fall back.

Thanks for all you do, couldn't be happier.

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: Thoughts on merger with Anglo American please. Do i sell into this strength for teck, noting they are minority owners?

Thank you

Q: Time to move on. What is a suitable replacement in a well diversified portfolio outside materials? Dividend rate not an issue.

Q: Copper is a logical play these days but Teck is lagging, I know they have some issues but do you think this is a good entry point? Thx.

Q: If you had a pretty well diversified portfolio of Canadian stocks and didn't own any of these 10, how would you rank them in order of desirability to add to the portfolio for long term growth? Which ones would you definitely add?

Q: What is the best company to benefit from higher copper prices long term? Currently own Teck but increasingly frustrated with frequent downward production revisions.

Thank you.

Q: Could you please provide an update on Teck. Copper is at a very high price while this company seems to be struggling. If the outlook is questionable do you have another recommendation in the sector?

Thanks for such a great service.

Dave.

Q: Do we know why Teck.a stock is up 6.% where Teck.b stock are down 1%. Is it correct that Only difference is only voting and non voting.

Thanks for your great service

Q: Can you pls provide an overview of the investment prospects for these 2 companies. Which do you believe to be more attractive? I have Teck with a +20% loss and am considering taking the loss and getting into FM....is that something you would do? Many thanks for your excellent service

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: Sell or not, and proxy for sales in your opinion.
AC, TECK.B, CS, SES, STLA, ARE, CVE.
XBI-N, HD-N, NIKE-N,

Q: I hold Ivn in my tfsa at a75% gain and am considering selling and using proceeds to buy Teck.b for a 2 to 3 year hold. Please evaluate by comparing the respective outlooks for each and your reasonings. Thanx.

Q: Hello. Do you consider TECK.B good buy at the moment looking at capital gains over the next 24 months,
Thanks

Q: Hello,

Looking to enter a new position. Thoughts on which would be a better buy today for a long term hold? And your opinion on copper going forward.

Thank you.

Q: TECK.A vs. TECK.B - which is the better one with which to start a new position?

Q: With all the current turbulence, what is your outlook on copper in general, and specifically Capstone? Thanks.

Q: How would you rank these stocks,why,and entry price? Thanx.

Q: Hello
Teck resources seems to have been headed down for quite a while

Did it get too expensive and sold off?
Is there something else weighing on this company more than tariff and recession fears?

They can sell to anyone in the world do not sure why tariffs are a big issue

Thanks

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 ?
