Q: More of a comment than a Question.
In answering a question on Teck you referred to the substitution of natural gas and coal. Teck actually supplies met coal which is a higher quality coal used for steel making (as opposed to thermal coal which is used in power plants), Teck's future in coal is more tied to overall demand for steel which is driven by global infrastructure building, primarily in china where they have very strong ties. Teck has been snooping around various iron ore assets for years now as iron ore is the other big commodity (beyond met coal) required for steel making. Teck would have significant economies of scale if they could provide both the iron ore and met coal to their existing customer base. That being said Teck is wary of paying too much especially after the issues they had when they acquired their coal assets.

Q: You have mentioned that owing about a 5% position in a gold stock is good insurance for a long term portfolio. I already own a 5% position in Teck. Even though they are not a gold producer, is this similar to owning a gold stock or should I also buy a gold producer and increase my overall weighting to 10% in what I think of as the materials sector?

Thanks for the continued insight into investing.

Q: I bought i-shares Silver Trust SLV:NYSE at the end of 2012 on a "timing the market/cyclical pricing play" and subsequently watched the shares sink. They have recovered some ground recently, but is there a better option to play the expected increase in silver prices? Is there a stock that pays a dividend and still has as much chance of growth as SLV, or should I just stick with it?
