Q: Dear Peter et al:

Thanks for your nice answer to Don's question today. (Friday, the 8th of September) regarding commodities. You gave a nice selection of ETFs. Looking at them they all have high concentration of energy sector and metals. MER in 70 or 80 basis points.

I wondered however if it would be better for me to hold XBM and XEG instead and lessen the fees plus opt for these bigger fund names with much higher market cap.
However I know I will miss sectors like corn, soybean, cotton etc.,

BNN had Mr. Rick Rule yesterday and he is of course a Metals and Mining Guru! This plus your answer to Don's question made me think of taking a small position in commodities . Looking at the most efficient and cost effective way to do his. Any thoughts?

Thank you in advance.

Q: Peter and His Dream Team
Recently, you stated there was no compelling reason to continue holding LGO..."moving on" was probably the best option. I am a share holder and of course under water. Now there is a new development...a strategic review. Do you think this has any real potential benefit?Also over a million shares sold near the close...is this just panic selling or has the ship hit an iceberg? Ha!Ha! Thank you for your information and insights...they are always valuable as us little guys try to compete with the big boys! Ha!Ha!

Q: I am interested in placing an investment in the near future in a base metal producer; preferring a copper focus. I'd appreciate your take first, on the timing of such an investment given where we are in the economic cycle and second, your selection of a "top 3" to invest in. Thanks for the insights.
