Q: Would you consider this a good time to buy FM in view of the article in the globe that states a "heightened level of risk" from a possible decline in copper prices following Zambia's decision on Friday to raise royalties for open pit copper mines to 20% from 6%." The price still appears to be going down.

thank you,

Q: Hi,
Can you elaborate on your comments on preferring FM over TCK.B at this time? Is it because of the weakness in coal?
Thank you

Q: What are your thoughts on the long term prospects for S and FM? I currently own Sherritt and was wondering if it would be a good idea to sell it and buy First Quantum instead - all things being equal.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Q: I am thinking of selling a 2% weighting in PWF to purchase "First Quantum Minerals". It would increase my materials weighting to about 12%. I would still be overweight in financials (BNS, TD and SLF remaining).

My materials weighting is creeping up and secure dividend income reduced for possible capital gain.

Do you like First Quantum and does it seem to make sense to sell PWF to buy them? I was an old Inmet share holder who didn't want to tender to First Quantum. But it must be said they picked-up Inmet on the cheap so I guess we have to give them credit. Inmet had some great copper properties and the price of copper just seems to be getting stronger.

Your thoughts please.

Q: Thanks for the recent answer regarding Sheritt (S). You commented that it was okay but wasn't a "screaming buy". Made me wonder what companies you think fall into this wonderful category? Thanks again.
