Investment Q&A

Q: If I wanted exposure to the growth in commodities can you suggest your top 3 picks

Q: Hello. Could I get your top five metal/mineral plays (excluding gold/silver) with a few comments on each?

Thank you!

Q: Hi, what would be your choice please for a TSX listed metal weighting in a portfolio? Any better options than XBM or Teck? Thanks.

Q: Hi Team, can I get your overall opinion of TECK.B I've held it since 2014 and am now still at my cost could there be any further upside or is it time to let it go. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i ,
I plan to increase my exposure to oil and agriculture. while doing my research, valuations and the RSIs have increased substantially. For example, stockta.com provides the following Alerts for LUN and TECK.B -"Stochastic Overbought Reversal' which I assume means that a reversal can happen any day. I assume that some holders are likely to take some profit soon. Most of what I have read says that you should wait for the RSI to come down but I also understand that the RSI can remain elevated for some time. Should I wait? or could these sectors be on a tear?
Please advise and thank you for your help

Q: Hi Team.
I have been holding on to this stock for over a year and it as no momentum at all even the dividends have been cut, would you have another company that i can replace it with in the same sector please. With a little more dividends.

Q: Please recommend a commodity stock such as a copper producer or nickel producer that you think might do well in this cycle.

Q: Hi. My materials is a little low. I've noticed you've been recommending Teck lately. Would you consider it better than CCL? Or is the something else you prefer in materials? I already own BTO so not looking for more gold.

Thanks to you guys I've been rewarded with a 30% return this year! Best of the season to all!! Thank you for the fantastic service. I never hesitate to recommend you to others.

Q: Part 2 of my question about year end adjustments to my portfolio. I have fairly small positions in 10 of these stocks (0.6% to 1.1%), and no position in DOO. I would like to add to several of these using the cash generated from reducing larger positions in some holdings. Looking for best long term total return, 5+ years. Sector, and size of company not a major consideration, in a well diversified portfolio. I like growth, I like dividends. Looking at ATD.B, BAM.A, CAR.UN, DIR.UN, DOO, GRT.UN, ITP, LNF, TCN, TECK.B, SLF. Thank you.

Q: The A and B Teck shares have historically traded in line, however, since January 2020 the A shares (voting and not very liquid) started to pull ahead of the B shares (non-voting and liquid). Recently, this differential has gapped significantly with the A shares pulling substantially ahead. Do you have an explanation for this? Is there something going on with the ownership position in Teck?

Q: Hi 5i Team - For a long time the benefits of copper as an anti-microbial agent have been known but perhaps not widely. That recognition has been gaining steam as both public transportation systems and hospitals are considering using it in their touch surfaces and elsewhere. Although these innovations are on a small scale at this point, they will likely gain steam as the world seeks to find ways of reducing the transmission of viruses and also bacteria – any form of microbes. Obviously this is a very worthwhile goal! From an investment standpoint could you provide the names of two or three copper producers that you feel have the fundamentals to not only continue to produce copper at current levels but also might have the ability to increase their production. Thanks.

Q: Good afternoon, I've owned Teck for somewhere around 5 years and am down in the neighbourhood of 50% at this point. The turnaround is always around the corner it seems. I notice Qtrade has 13 analysts with a buy rating so maybe my patience has run out at the wrong time? I'm wondering if you would sell and replace with something like AEM? This is my only non oil/gas materials holding.
Thanks, Rod

Q: I've been trying to find out how resource stocks did during the 1970's compared to the commodities themselves. I know that gold and real estate appeared to have done well during that period.

If resource stocks did well enough, I am considering entering a position in TECK.B. I believe it was a gold stock back in the '80's if I recall, before combining with Cominco. So it would not be possible to see how it did back then with it's current commodity mix.

I think you are favourable to TECK.B as an investment, but I was wondering about the historic relative performance of resource equities vs the commodities if that is possible - approximately.

Thanks.

Q: Can you list your favourite copper/metals/rare earth miners (excluding gold,silver miners)?

Q: Hello Peter,
