Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I was considering buying some LIF for it's recent momentum and dividend, even though it seems to have exceeded analyst price targets. But then I noticed that the CFO and CEO own only a few thousand shares each. Is that info incorrect? Does this indicate their own lack of confidence in their share price? It seems fair to expect them to have a bit of skin on the game.

Q: A couple of recent sources have suggested lower iron ore prices next year. I own LIF in several accounts and I'm wondering about selling about 25% at current prices and buying back next year at lower prices. I am enjoying the last two dividends of about 5% each. Do you see this as a reasonable approach to bring down my average cost as I purchased at much higher prices years ago. Thanks, love your service.

Q: Hi Peter, Is there a co-relation between growth factors and share price. MY screener shows some stocks with great growth ratios Like EPS, SALES AND INCOME growth in double digits but very poor performance ( LIF). Also, some with 2/3 negative growth ratios have stellar performance (BLX).
Am I missing something or the correlation is not straightforward? Which is the more reliable indicator? What is your favorite screening things. Thanks.

Q: I have no metals or minerals in my portfolio. I seem to be getting a late start on this sector but I was deterred by negative EPS in most of these companies. If you could suggest one company to start, what would you suggest. I am a balanced investor and have been looking at LIF because of its dividend and HBM and CS for growth and concentration in copper.

Q: 1) I understand uranium(yellow cake) is on an upward trend. Is there a website where one can access this information.
I understand U-TSX(labrador iron) is not a true indication of uranium prices.
2) Iron ore, it is my understanding that some of the production for this commodities has been closed down. So is there some way to check to see where the supply/demand ratio is changing to a positive outlook. So the question is, LIF-TSXLabrador Iron) do you feel the div. for this stock is safe.
3) Quarterly reports,what is the easiest way to fine out when a company is going to submit the report, & would they be the same time each year.

Q: I had held LIF for a few years and sold it earlier this fall to take advantage of a tax loss. Am thinking of buying back in once Tax Loss Selling season starts (late Nov). Materials would represent 10% of my Cdn Equity portfolio broken down between SJ, AGU, AFN and LIF in fairly equal percentages.
In the short term I am buying primarily for the dividend income and understand Capital Appreciation may not take place for a few years till Iron Ore prices improve.
Your thoughts on my plans for the materials section of my portfolio and at current Iron Ore prices is LIFs dividend secure?
