Q: Hi,
Is this a good time to buy metals?
I have no experience in metals except for losing money in both of these companies when metals began their decline a couple years ago.
If so, what sectors or stocks are a good place to start for a two year hold, or longer?

Q: Having reviewed a few small companies that I have been following for a long time it appears that there is a turnaround in a number of different resources. Would you consider any of these or maybe others in similar areas as "buyable".
Thank you for your hard work, Peter

Q: Peter and 5i team ... not sure if your are connected to this karma, but 1 hour after my query on NSU`s SP, the price began a rise for the first time since the announcement of the ER date. Just looking for some reinforcement as I am a holder and do have positive expectations of this stock, but am wary of the ``Sell on News`` reaction typical of the current market. Thanks for the bump. ;)

Q: It looks like LSG is trading in line with TOH, and the takeover premium is build in. I am not sure that I want to own TOH, which seems to be mainly in Guatemala. Is there a better choice, selling LSG now and buying one or two alternatives?

Q: Hope your Easter was lovely. I have owned TGZ from the $3.00 range. Hindsight of course would say should have sold it a long time ago but not having done that and after reading their most recent reports I think that things might get significantly better in the near future. If you agree that the report is positive then I think it would make sense to hold on for a while longer and re coup some of my costs. Look forward to your assessment of the situation. Thank you.

Q: I sold out my teck at $5.50 on your concerns that Teck may be a binary trade, either up or down. It looked more like down at that time. But, I have been stewing abit about Teck recently. It is the one stock that i have lost a lot of money on. And I always want to get it back.

The debt has been the concern with Teck, of course. But, i recently read a respected newsletter writer who noted that because of its cost cutting and strong reserves it was already beginning to enjoy its turnaround.

Now, the big question, as I say is debt. He notes that Teck ran debt of 1.5 times its currently depressed market cap. But, this debt doesn't come due until 2017. And the first tranche is $600 US million. They say, also, that Teck has 3.0 billion US of untapped credit available to them until 2020.

Now, i don't want to play one against another here. I think I made a good move when I sold out. But, now I am wondering whether, because of the dates of the debt due, I might have a little more time to watch this stock and take action a little later on. That is if it goes down again, I may buy back in. I'd appreciate your thoughts on these remuninations
thanks

Q: I realize that neither of these two is your favourite. But I am looking at a simple call writing play for one of these. I realize the calls are lucrative precisely because the beta is high, but between the two which do you think is the more stable, more secure investment? Thank-you very much.
