Q: Hi Peter and Staff
Long time holder of NTR and have whittled my materials to just this one with a 1% weighting . Selling now at this price seems like a bad idea but with the premise “it doesn’t care what you paid for it “ for a long term hold , do you favour it , SJ or TECK.B and why ?

Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: Hi - thoughts on where Teck’s share price goes from here? Not much of a bump with the announced sale of the coal business to Glencore, Thought we might have seen a bit more of a move up / premium on the sale. Are there any other catalysts that you can see at this time that may cause the share price to spike? Feels like things may just drift downwards/sideways for a while, especially with the cost overruns that were announced last month in other parts of their business.

Q: TECK made a big move today, selling their coal business for $9 B (US funds). Wondering what you think of the deal, and more importantly, what do you think of TECK.B as an investment now that it will be divesting the coal business. The stock rose about $3 initially on the news, but then fell back to just below the previous close, so clearly, some people were not impressed with the deal.

Q: with so much extra copper needed in the future ,because of EV and clean energy what are your thoughts going forward on the copper price in the future?
It seems to me a no brainer as building a mine will not happen overnight either.
How would you play this as an investor?

Q: Given the recent Chinese export restrictions on geranium and gallium, are any Canadian companies poised to profit or that have the potential to profit? My geologist buddy tells me that TECK produces some as by-products of aluminum production. He doesn't know if it comes from imported bauxite or not and I'm not sure how that would matter. Any thought on this? Thanks

Q: Who should i focus on for copper. Manageable debt to survive any economic down turn, mining in stable political countries, low cost production, reasonable life of current mine(s) for future supply. Trading on the Canadian exchanges With EV etc I expect supply of copper will be another metal that will be in short supply but will have its ups and downs in the short term.

Q: Teck is starting to drift downwards again, including a big drop today. Don’t see any news. Any reason you can see for the drifting down? Just fading confidence that an acquisition is going to happen? Seemed like there may be new/different offers on the acquisition the horizon a few weeks ago, has that changed? Would you recommend holding on in anticipation of acquisition offers coming in again? Not in a rush to sell, but don’t want to hold on if pricing is going to continue to move down to pre-acquisition offer levels.

Q: Bit of a gong show. Initial plans to spin off (with royalty attached so how much of a real spin off was it?). Change the spin off plan plan with shorter royalty life. Decide to can the spin off plan after spending substantial time and money (I have the half inch thick Proxy Circular). Now their Q1 is over of mine costs and short on revenue.

Is this company really a hold or should I give up and take the gain?

Q: Hi, I have held Teck for many years and watched the stock linger much below my purchase price for years. I am now finally up 30%. I did buy it for diversification in my portfolio which is heavy on dividend payers such as financials, pipes, telecoms, utilities.
I am now much older and retired and need to be more conservative with my investments. Would you advise selling on this price, the highest on the 20 year chart, or hold on to catch proceeds of the planned spinoff of EVR? Teck is held in a registered account.
