Q: I have 0% exposure to the materials sector at the moment. I prefer stocks that have a decent yield. I am allocating 8% to the materials sector? Does that sound reasonable? Also, how would you split the allocation between base metals and precious metals? Any suggestions for good stocks in this sector?

Please take the number of credits necessary.

Thank you,
Jason

Q: Hello Peter,
I have an appropriate portfolio weight in Gold and Silver all of it leveraged through equity in producer companies big and small.
I want to do a seasonal trade in gold and cannot decide if it should be in physical metal, streaming company -WPM or producers leveraged to the price of the metal. What would you suggest? And if it is in gold producers, could you give me your top two suggestions.
Regards

Q: Good morning, as a relatively young retired investor I'm still leaning vs growth. As a portfolio year end adjustment I would like to hike my exposure to materials by approx 1%. Having said that my gold exposure has suffered and now sits at less that 3%. I own LUN at 2%. Where would you add ? In real estate I have a 2% in DIR and 1% in TCN.. Would like to add to maybe 5% of portfolio. Dividends are welcome but not a necessity since I can buy in either my Cash or in my RIFF account. New suggestions are welcome since your expertise gave me handsome results since I've subscribed to your services.

Stay safe,

Yves

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,
I own above stocks and represent 6% weight in my total portfolio. The stocks have came down a bit with recent weakness on the gold and silver movement. Should I trim down some of the position? I am still in profit but worry that these stocks may go down further. thanks!

Q: Good afternoon, I've owned Teck for somewhere around 5 years and am down in the neighbourhood of 50% at this point. The turnaround is always around the corner it seems. I notice Qtrade has 13 analysts with a buy rating so maybe my patience has run out at the wrong time? I'm wondering if you would sell and replace with something like AEM? This is my only non oil/gas materials holding.
Thanks, Rod
