Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Would you be able to compare these two companies or are they too different? If I understand correctly they are both in the materials sector, are well managed and are companies which combine some growth along with a healthy dividend. Possibly MX has more of a global reach and so has some control over its destiny while LIF is a royalty company and simply reflects the current price of iron ore pellets. If I understand correctly LIF would have a risk of ore exhaustion or depletion even though the Labrador Trough has been a source of high quality pellets for years now. MX buys hydrocarbons (oil and gas) to make methanol so their input costs should be low yet methanol prices must be even lower so we have a problem. You note MX is projected to have 60% growth next year which is a high number but the stock continues to decline. Based on your years of experience do you feel this is a valid projection? Is the 60% number based on anticipated recovering demand or is the company opening a bunch of new factories next year?
Any other thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Q: Hi, can you shed some light on NEO (NEO PERFORMANCE MATERIALS).

In my mind, The rare earth metals will become precious and those equity stocks "should" strengthen soon especially when China now talking cutting / embargo rare earth manufactured products.

Do you believe it may represent a good buying opportunity at this current depressed level ? Much appreciated. Stéphane

Q: Hi guys,

What do you think of the closed end fund GGN? It is a natural resource fund and has a 13% yield which looks attractive, but is it too good to be true?
