Q: HI,

I'm interested in resource stocks that have long term demand - five years or more. Unlike oil/gas stocks that I'm told are too cyclical for long term holds. What resource or resources - copper, steel, uranium, aluminum, fertilizer, etc. - do you feel is reasonably safe and can you suggest some ways to play it in both Canada and the US?

Q: The phrase “Don’t trust anyone over 30” was coined in the 60’s, but as I head into CPP eligibility age I’m kind of leaning the other way, and so hope Peter can answer this one.

I remember the energy crisis of the 70’s, stagflation, price and wage controls and bought a home after the housing bubble burst in the 80’s and watched many of my new neighbours wait 10 years or more to get back to what they had paid. I loved rolling over 90 day GIC’s (remember Trust Companies?) at double digit interest rates but wasn’t invested in equities.

Specifically on the question of stagflation, if we end up in that horrible scenario again is there such thing as a good stock to hold? If so, can you provide 5 to 10 that you would want in your portfolio?

Thanks again for your steady hand on the wheel lately.

Q: August 2020 Gold hit $2034 / ounce. Agnico Eagle traded at $110.

Today Gold hits $2014 and Agnico Eagle is trading around $75.

Fundamentally, is the company stronger or weaker when comparing these two prices in time. Or is the disconnect in price more just market sentiment about gold vs crypto etc? I loved Kirkland Lake so the merger should be viewed as a positive.

Q: Hi,
I have $20,000 to top up my TFSA and wonder what would be best considering my above holdings. Should I add to any of the above or can you suggest any other stock or ETF that would be most suitable for growth and preservation. Your advice is most appreciated.

Q: AEM and KL have lagged the sector, as represented by XGD, since the announcement in September of the merger. I suspect this is due primarily to investors that hold both lightening up now that they are the same company - I am in that boat myself. How long do you expect AEM/KL to lag, when will it recover relative to the sector, or should I sell and diversify to another name now. What would you regard as an equivalent investment (well run, safe jurisdictions) or should I just move to XGD? I currently hold FNV as well as AEM/KL.
