Q: Would the Three Gorges Dam failure be as cataclysmic to the markets and supply chain(s) as the rumblings I am hearing?

If so, would such a threat be worth hedging against? ie., reducing equities now, taking profits, etc?

Q: ALS announced today the purchase of the remainder of Liberty metals and Mining. ALS reportes it will be extremely accretive, yet it also says that the royalties will decline to 0 by 2030 with the progressive reduction of coal. Is this a good deal? It feels like they are buying cash flow for the short term to cover up problems elsewhere. Why would one buy a business that has declining cash flow, ultimately to zero? The stock price went up today, but I wonder if this is just traders....

Q: Further to the question related to the dividend cut for CDZ, is it safe to assume the cut is related to the associated dividend cuts from the underlying securities? And if that is true, then can we assume that once these securities reinstate their dividends, then the CDZ dividend will, in turn, rebound?

OR, is it a case whereby the ETF is periodically reconstituted and it is a fresh start for the underlying securities and we have to wait for the natural progression of dividend increases related to these "new" underlying securities? In this case how long does an individual security have to be "off-side" to be turfed from the ETF?

Thanks for helping me understand...Steve

Q: I looked up FVI(Fortuna Silver) in the question base and no one has asked about it before. So, this is the first time. What are your views on this company; it has more than doubled in about two months. I've only got half a position on it. Should I take profits? Hang on as silver is playing catch-up? Go full weight?

Thanks very much again
