Q: Have the recent declines in these resource companies mainly due to the US new leadership tariff threats or more related to the diminishing China demand.

Q: Regarding the T1135 form, my understanding is that by owning both ILF (U.S. ETF) and Vale (ADR), they would need to be declared (i.e. not exempt from reporting) above the $100,000 threshold correct? I believe this is true unless they are held within an RRSP or a TFSA, in which case both would be exempt.

On the other hand, ETF's with foreign holdings that are created by Canadian institutions such as the BMO's ZEM would also be exempt from reporting, even if that one was held within an open account.

If the above is true, is there a Canadian-based alternative to the ILF ETF ? I would like to have some exposure to Latin America. ZEM, for instance, has holdings I'm not really interested in.

Q: Good morning. I have VALE in my registered account, with a much lower value than cost. It does pay a substantial dividend and I am aware that it also has cash. Is it reasonably safe to hold since materials are doing fairly well generally? Should I consider reducing my position or selling? Is it safe to hold with its high dividend at this time?
