Investment Q&A

Q: What is your view on the just announced equity raise?

Q: A number of precious metals companies have exposure to copper as well. Which ones in your opinion (large cap, mid-cap & small cap) are best positioned to benefit from a rise in copper demand?

Q: Good morning,

Could you please offer your opinion on companies like Teck, Rio Tinto , Freeport McMoran or others who may be best positioned to profit from increasing copper demand ?


Thank you,

Q: What are your preferences for copper producers?
Is there an ETF that specialises in AI?

Q: Any comments on their results this morning? Thanks.

Q: If I look at STC I see that the 52 week high is $20.36 and also that from looking at analyst ratings via TD I notice that 3 out of 3 rate it a buy with a price target of $16.17. When I see something like that it gives me a warm fuzzy that this is a good buy at this level and appears to have a lot of upside. I fully realize that there is no guarantee that just because it went that high in the past it does not mean that it will go back to that level. Having said that, it appears to have a lot of potential as I see it. You also seem to like this one.

Just to make a comparison (I know it is a different sector but that does not matter) let’s have a look at CS. This is one that 5I appears to like as well and that I am considering buying. TD has this one showing as 6 out of 6 analysts rating a it a buy but the price target is $5.83 (-3.01% downside).

Why would the price target on this one be so low and how much potential does this have in your opinion?

Q: In the gold sector what stocks would you recommend in the small to mid cap size over medium to long range?. Same question for copper?
Thank you

Q: if you had to pick only one small cap to mid cap gold and copper company for growth, for the next 6-12 months which would they be.dave

Q: Can you give me the names of the 3 biggest copper producers in Canada. Which would be your buy,

Q: My third question today!! Hope you don't mind the blitz of questions! What's up with copper miners. The share price of the copper miners I own have moved up substantially in 2023 although copper is not up that much. I have ARG for their debt free balance sheet and juicy dividend, Lundin for a large miner with a good dividend and HBM which i tend to trade since it appears to me to be irrationally volitile. I like the copper mining space long term but I do trade portions of positions because of the extreme volitility. I am thinking of taking some profits in HBM (virtually no dividend) and keeping LUN and ARG. What do you think of this strategy? Who do you like in copper miners and why?

Q: In your Dec 13th update, I notice you added a 1.5% position to Capstone Copper Corp to the growth portfolio. Since your addition it has gone up ~17%. Is it too late to start a similar size position give the quick run up in the past few weeks and should wait for a pull back? Is this the type of holding you recommend for the next year or so (cyclical in nature) or do you view it as a long term hold?

Q: I see for various reasons you favour these two copper companies. Considering the setback First Quantum has had in Panama, how would you rate country risk for LUN and CS? Thanks

Q: I've noted a couple of articles on the expected rise in copper prices over the next 12 months. Is this something you agree with? What one large and one small copper producer would you select for capital return over this period.

Q: Hi Guys
I have noticed that there has been heavy insider selling on Capstone over the last 12 months, looks like they have collectively sold more than 20 million shares. Shares they could have accumulated around .55cent a few years ago. Insiders now only own around 5%, have we not missed the boat here?
Thanks Gord

Q: High growth stocks. A recent NP piece by Peter H. advised investors consider these vs. conservative picks coming out of a bear market. "Stocks that used to be 50X sales are now 3X sales and still growing at 50%+...a Bloomberg screen shows 982 companies with 50% sales growth in the next year."

Could you provide 10 Cdn. stocks in this category or better yet provide a link to the Bloomberg screen. Thanks.
