Q: Good Morning

Todays Globe and Mail watchlist chart showed a 53% increase in Teck a shares and very little change in Teck B shares yesterday. Would you kindly explain the difference in the share structure and why the difference in stock price. I understand they decided to spin out the coal business could you elaborate on the reason for this. ? Environment concerns ??

Thank you

Q: Good Morning. My mother (94 years old) is looking for a metals stock. She asked about Rus. I see it has been flat for a year (-2%). 5i seems to like STLC which is near a 52-w high and up about 60% over a year. I have Teck.b and it is near a 52-w high, so not sure about recommending that. I was thinking NTR (materials) may be a suggestion. Or what about FM as a new thought?

What would the experts at 5i suggest?

BTW, I suggested that she subscribe to 5i but she reminded me that she has never used a computer ... maybe lucky her!

Q: There has been discussions about mining companies here, mostly in the Au sector (i.e. Agnico Eagle).
What are your thoughts in investing in base metals? I have had Teck.B in my portfolio for awhile and considering adding to it holdings? Would you suggest other preferred assets?

Q: I have these names as part of my materials sector. Do you think this is a good diversified mix of companies for long term growth? I was thinking of adding in TECK. Would you add TECK to this group or swap one of the names out for TECK? If you had to consolidate to just 3 names, which ones would you pick?

AEM - 1.98%
MEOH - 0.85%
LUN - 0.68%
NTR - 1.27%

Q: I have a small holding in copper but would like to increase that. What companies, any country, would you invest in for the next 5 - 10 years?

Crystal ball time; what materials would you invest in and any companies you would choose?

Take as many questions as necessary.

Thanks

Mike

Q: Good morning,

Thank you for all the pertinent insight.

My materials sector is currently light. Obviously the cyclical nature plays a role in that as well.

I am also looking for a current read on LIF.TO

Could you give me your current top picks. As well as a good entry price.

Please take the necessary credits.

Thank you very much.

Q: Leaving other factors aside (eg taxes etc), within a well diversified portfolio would you be ok with selling CIX and TECK.b in favour of buying WCN and DOL? Basically I am asking if you think these latter two (at current valuations) might outperform the former in what I expect to be a somewhat moderate to deep recession? Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter & team,
Energy and material stocks have pulled back quite a bit from their recent high, would now be a good time to buy TOU, NTR and TECK.B for TFSA or you don’t see a significant uptrend in the next 6 -12 months? For new TFSA contribution, what are some of your top picks for US stocks and CDN stocks? Thanks.
