Q: Hello 5i team,

For our TFSA, we hold AEM & ABX and RRSP - FCX long term over 5 years or so. We try to keep to 3 names max and keep trimming them down.

I appreciate having your thought on switching to PAAS / WPM or sell them all off and switching to energy/ energy services like OXY, BEPC, CNQ. We already have Enbridge, TC & Pembina in our portfolio for income. Thank you

Thanks for all you do

Q: Good Morning. I need to trim my holdings portfolio down to a more manageable number. My portfolio is pretty well balanced. From the list of NTR,PBH, DIS,RCI.B, ADN,GE, FCX,WMB,GS,CVX, CAT,LYB and APO how would you rank them with 1 being the best and 5 the least favoured. Please take as many credits as you need. Thanks Peter

Q: I’ve seen multiple articles now from some very established sources, stating that we currently do not even come close to producing the amount of copper required to meet the political goals related to the reduction in the reliance on fossil fuels. More mines will be required, but they take decades to construct. In the meantime, will this be beneficial to current producers like Capstone? If so, is Capstone a good company or are there other companies that are better? Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

I currently have 9% of my portfolio in O&G (excluding pipelines) and only 1% in materials (NTR)

-would you suggest I drop my O&G a bit to add a miner ?

-if so would you suggest FCX , TECK.B for a long term hold or another name?

Thanks for all you do

Q: In reference to your answer that we should consider being overweight the US at this time, can you give one US name in each sector for modest growth (not dividends) over the next few years? Please take as many credits as necessary with thanks.

Q: I have some USD cash sitting in my RRSP. What would be your most compelling buys today for an agressive investor for an RRSP, irregardless of sector. Kindly rank if possible. (with the caveat that tax loss selling isn’t possible)

I was considering FCX or EXP as I am light on materials. Would either of these fit in an RRSP, and which of these two would be your preference at this time?

Thank you
Please deduct as you deem fit.

Q: hi folks:

i have done well with IVN over the years, yet i admit i am losing my nerve.......

understanding that they likely do have the 'best and most profitable' copper mine in the world, the 'potential' drc political situation worries me more than any future profit potential

keeping in mind that everywhere has some political risk, what would your recommendations be for continued copper exposure ?

(i own a full position in CS as well)

thanks once again; always appreciate your advice and analysis

Q: Hello 5i team,
At the moment, I only have AEM for basic materials and wanted to add another company for more exposure to the materials sector. I had NTR (bought when it was Agrium) a few years ago and sold all shares when they were valued above $100.

I wanted to get back into NTR as I think it will not go lower then around $60 (has support there). You have CCL in the balance portfolio but seems to be in a holding pattern for the past 3 years.

My question is if you have your eye on other material sector companies that would fit the balance portfolio? With a decent dividend, and beaten down, do you think NTR is a good second materials stock to enter into?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Material Sector - I hold a full position in .LIN and starter positions in EXP CS FCX WFG AEM - all recommended by 5i. I prefer to have a full position in one of these for a long-term [3-5 years] hold. How would you evaluate them [or any other you prefer] and recommend your highest conviction.
Thanks
