Q: I just read the Bloomberg announcement that the Biden Administration is considering a large release of oil (“up to 180 million barrels”) from the Strategic Reserve to combat inflation and to lower gasoline prices. This would be in addition to the 80 million barrels already released in the last 6 months. The suggested rate of release is 1 million barrels a day. The price of WTI dropped 5.5% on this announcement. It was stated that if this strategy is approved, the IEA would attempt to have other countries join this action to provide a coordinated release from several sources.
I don’t know whether this announcement is just an attempt to jaw-bone the oil price down or if it is serious. It certainly impacted the price of oil. If the full plan were implemented, what would you predict the impact to be on Canadian energy stocks in the short term (3months) and by year end.
Please ignore the following question if you are uncomfortable with it. “What action would you take if you held a slightly underweight position in the energy? Buy more? Sell some? Do nothing?”
With appreciation for your great service to us small retail investors

Q: The Economist has a recent article on "seven metals (aluminium, cobalt, copper, lithium, nickel, silver and zinc) that are critical to building an electricity economy".

What would be your preferred method of gaining exposure to some or all of these--single stock (no fees but won't touch on all seven materials) or ETF (more diversified but high fees in Canada, eg XBM)? I would be interested in a single stock (not a basket of stocks) for this purpose, or an ETF. Would be grateful if you could please provide suggestions. Thanks!
