Q: The above stocks and 1 ETF comprise my base metal holdings. Performance of several ( LLG, NMX, ALB, TV) has been dismal since purchase. I bought thinking that it was a good time in the business cycle to own commodities, with a slant towards lithium as you can see. The dollars invested in total are less than 3% of my portfolio. I am prepared to hold if the companies are performing adequately, but would appreciate whether you would consider any of the above sells or “not necessary to own” as you have coined in the past. Would it be preferable to sell all and buy Teck Resources? Thank you kindly for your consideration of this question and please deduct as many points as appropriate for such a lengthy list.
Q: Follow balanced equity portfolio and rebalancing. I do not have the 6 companies above. Please rank them in the order I should add. Any I should wait on to purchase for a price adjustment?
T as always Steve
Q: Can you compare potential of TECK vs TV going forward? I am considering taking the loss on TV, which I can use for tax purposes, and using the proceeds to buy TECK.
Q: Could you please list your favorite 3 names in Copper and the investment thesis for these companies? Please also share your take on Copper in the next 12 months?
Q: I hold Teck and Nutrien with the balance of my resource holdings in XMA. I have an equal amount of funds in each. I am considering selling XMA to purchase LIF. I know this will give me less diversity, but Teck and Nutrien are major weights in XMA which is otherwise heavy in gold stocks with low dividends and weak growth. At least LIF would give me decent dividends. What do you think? Thanks.
I have the model balanced portfolio other than KL for AEM, a tiny position in MG, and am still missing Teck.B. My thoughts for new money is to either get MG up to a proper position size (approx 4%) or to buy Teck.b for a 3% position.
What are the pros and cons of each. Thanks for all your hard work.
Q: Gentlemen,
My Basic mat'l sector allocation is 3%, I have SJ (2.60% PF, +4.77% gain) and TECK.b (0.4%PF, -7% lost).
I wish to add 2% . Please give you thoughts.
Thanks
best Regards
Q: Peter and Team:
I already hold TV in a basket of stocks primarily picked from your balanced portfolio. I am pretty much even since purchase.
What are your thoughts about a switch to Teck.b.
I realise it is a larger company and more diversified, but wonder if there is a big difference in risk/reward between the two.
Q: Hello 5i team,
I presume the rationale for adding TECK to the BE portfolio is the same as adding TV to the Growth portfolio. Different metals?
Thanks,
Antoine
Q: I'm considering the risk/rewards of these two stocks you've suggested buying. Teck strikes me as much higher risk, but analysts don't forecast much more than a 10% upside during 2018. With A&Ws nearly 5% dividend, isn't it likely to return as much or more for far less risk?
