Q: I have been tracking the iron ore price since July 2021 when it was $213 and LIF share price was $49.61. Iron Ore hit a low in December below $95 and has since been steadily tracking higher (above $150 for a couple of days in Feb) and was $146 yesterday. On Feb 23 Rio Tinto reported record financial results and declared a dividend of $10.40 (79% payout). LIF will receive a significant dividend and royalty from Rio Tinto and they usually pass this through to shareholders. LIF shares closed at $48.61 today the highest they have traded at since July 2021. Your thoughts on the amount of the dividend LIF will pay out to shareholders and the future of iron ore prices. Thank you

Q: Hello Peter,

I have 6% of my portfolio in Gold and Silver stocks with PAAS as the lone silver holding. The rest are in gold distributed between large (AEM,FNV) and small (MMX,KRR,WDO).
I am considering selling PAAS to harvest a tax loss. I could replace it with another Silver stock(MAG) or replace with increasing a Gold producer or let my portfolio weight drop.
Given the current geo political situation, what would be your suggestion?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: GLD is one of the ticker/companies that holds physical gold in the USA, are there any companies or units that do this in Canada? If there are one or more in Canada would you recommend say a 5% weight at this time? Would you hold physical gold at this time or prefer gold miners or streamers?

Q: Hi 5i Team - Trilogy has been drifting steadily downward and recently dropped substantially, apparently due to some news about the Ambler Access Project. Could you explain the concern that this has caused. Also could you provide an update on the company itself, its fundamentals and potential. I have been holding this stock for some time now for its copper resources and need to decide whether to switch to something else in the same field. If you feel there are better possibilities, could you provide two or three suggestions. Thanks.
