Q: So here we have this company back to where it was trading 2 yrs. ago. You have at a buy and say it is cheap, it was this cheap 2 yrs. ago. I am from a farming family and this company just took advantage of farmers with the war in the Ukraine and not knowing what was going to happen, there was no shortage of fertilizer, you just had to pay up for it, the same as the stock if you wanted to own it. Now the farmers are dictating the price and what you see is the fall in NTR stock. It is just another another example of fert. co. and chem. co. that have taken control of our farmers on input costs, and they are not happy.
Thanks Again

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Regarding Nutrien, I read your answer to 5i member Maureen, and also just finished today's article in the Globe and Mail:"Nutrien shares fade on disappointing first-quarter earnings" by Ian McGugan. In your view, is Ian's thesis valid, and would now be a good time to sell NTR if one has already made some money on it? What would be some better (?) and less volatile options in the Materials sector?

Thanks as always for your insight.

Q: I have always been puzzled by cyclical stocks. By way of example, I hold NTR in a non-registered account and have ridden it up (by 50%) and now down to 15%. Is the strategy for dealing with these stocks simply to ride out the bad times, knowing they will eventually cycle back? Or should I be selling on the way down and trying to figure out the best entry point when the stock starts to rebound? The matter is complicated, of course, by the tax consequences of selling in a non-registered account. Your advice regarding buying and selling cyclical stocks would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i
I would like to replace AEM in my LIF account with another basic material holding. My goal is growth. Both NTR and WFG are looking interesting now. Could you give your opinion of which would likely be the better play for a long term. With the pending slow down/recession would you switch now or wait?
Thanks
