Q: At present my only position in materials is a 2.5 % weight in FNV, and am looking at adding one position. I am considering one of these 4. I have heard that Lun had some issues in Chile and am a bit concerned that Teck.B might have a bit of a drag from coal being out of favour with ESG considerations;. Do you think these concerns are meaningful? In any event, of the 4, which one would you want to choose, and why? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Eric Nuttall was giddy on Friday market Call about the opportunities in the oil sector. David Burrows on Wednesday was equally bullish on commodities stating they are in the early innings. Would you support full positions in SU,WCP and Teck.b going forward? Thank you.

Q: There is a lot of talk about copper as a fundamental commodity for electrification and cobalt being critical for batteries. These I believe are often mined together. Do you see opportunity for investment based on these theses despite of recent price appreciations and which company would you recommend giving preference to Canadian companies.
Thank you for your great service, Peter

Q: It seems like a lot of analysts are talking about a resource bull market especially regarding the inflation/stagflation discourse.
Do you feel we are heading into a resource bull market?
And, are there certain sectors you favour - Oil/gas, copper, uranium, food, precious metals?
Finally, are there any stocks within this very broad resource sector that you think is a standout. Please take as many credits as necessary
Much appreciated

Q: Good Morning,
Can I please get a handful of your favourite copper stocks right now?
thanks

Q: Can you offer 5 companies in Canada and the US that have pricing power in the face of inflation? Thank you

Q: Teck has jumped a bit in the last couple of days, apparently on a suggestion that they would strip out their coal operations or perhaps even split into more parts. Do you see this as a likely outcome and if so, what sort of time line would this play out? I have some shares...would you continue to hold or take advantage of the current increase? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Assuming a deflationary scenario and a continuing low interest rate environment for the next 18-24 months or so, what are your top five sectors and the top three picks within those sectors.
Many thanks for your most helpful advice.

Q: Hi 5i,

Would you still consider Teck a buy even with the latest "Inflation Transitory" debate? Will the fires in BC cause a impact on the qrt release? Seems to be in a negative downward trend. I have positions in KL & NTR already for materials exposure.

Q: Thank you for providing such an unparalleled service. Your cost increases are minimal.

My question is about diversification in my RRSP which consists of mostly high quality growth stocks (GOOGL, VISA, NIKE, ACN, NVIDIA, etc.) I am however, under-represented in Canadian stocks which include BAM, SHOPIFY, IFC, FSV, & BIP.UN. My goal is to build up my Canadian portfolio in this RSP.

I am well represented in Tech, Consumers, disc, & health care with my US holdings. Can you recommend 10 Canadian stocks that I could add for the long term to balance out my portfolio? I am deficient in financial, materials & industrials. Or to apply the Occam's razor, should I just buy and accumulate XIC over time.

Many thanks

Q: I have stayed away from energy, except for ENB and TC, which are pipelines.
Do you think there is more upside in the O & G stocks. If so what would you suggest?
Also the same goes for basic materials. I am not interested in gold. What would be your picks for basic materials.
Thanks for your service, I would be lost without it.

Q: If you had to pick one of these which would it be or do you have another suggestion.?This would be long term hold looking for metals exposure and rare earth metals for demand in electronics production. Thanks

Q: Why the dip? Seems like all the copper stocks took a blow this week. Is it a good time to buy? Do you see much upside in the next 6 months? Thanks

Q: I have a small position in Teck in the mid $20s. I was looking to add to it as the price drops. What do you think is an attractive entry point? I’m leery for adding to commodity stocks when they’ve gone a long way already knowing that things can change quickly. Your thoughts?

I appreciate your guidance.

Q: Hi team,
Much is said about the rising demand for copper from Europe and Asia over the next few months due to technology and electric cars.For now the price of copper seems to have paused .What is your outlook for copper demand ,the price ,and which companies would best benefit from the rise in demand?
Many thanks,
Jean

Q: Teck lost 12% in 2 days. It's seams to be related to the Chili issue or is it? Management claim that they have an agreement with the government. ''TORONTO, May 18 (Reuters) - Canada’s Teck Resources sees little risk of higher taxes in copper powerhouse Chile due to a stability agreement that shields the company's massive Quebrada Blanca Phase 2 copper project from higher levies for 15 years, Chief Executive Don Lindsay said on Tuesday.'' What do you think? I'm a long term investor but find the drop steep and wonder if there is not anything else. We know politics have little effect long term but a change in leadership in Chili may change all previous agreements. It wouldn't be the first time we witness a government scrap a contract with a miner. Your take please.
