Q: I have zero allocation to minerals, mining and material stocks in my portfolio. Do you feel that some exposure is warranted for diversification purposes?

If so, what one or two companies would you suggest to achieve broad exposure while minimizing downside risk. I prefer larger companies that pay a dividend.

Q: Hi.

I want to invest in a Mining company that engages in copper mining as well as other minerals. I have been reading alot about the renewable energy market and I feel as though copper, aluminum, lithium, cobalt, as well as other minerals linked to renewable energy will be continuing to grow in demand. I know that as a commodity Copper is low right now. I was looking for a shorter term investment (1 to 3 years) as well as a longer term investment (5 to 10 years) in a good mining company that mines for minerals linked to renewable energy. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks

Rob

Q: Of the 5 mining Co's, which one would you say is most globally diversified with best growth prospects, if the world doesnt hiccup too badly with current trade rhetoric ? Or maybe, a Co. not mentioned, I know Teck is the largest-diversified, but maybe another has more torque to the upside of a particular metal, maybe gold/ lithium miner ? I'm seeking Cdn competitive advantage with U.S dollar revenues.

Q: Knight, Celestica and Lundin Mining are all trading at close to 1:1 price to book (per the Globe). Is that meaningful at all for any of these companies? Is it a "value" indicator that suggests better days may be ahead? Your thoughts, please. With thanks.
