Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Besides a subscription to 5iresearch could you please recommend any introductory books or courses that teach basic investment information on topics like diversification, ETF, bonds, equity, MER, risk, dividend, capital gain, brokerages, IPO, volatility. I'm sure this has been asked before but I just can't find it on the site. Thank you for all your help.

Q: Hi Team,

I have been researching these three names as alternative investments. My objective is to find one or more companies that will not behave (or correlate) the same as my otherwise well-diversified portfolio made up of equities (growth and income), bonds and bullion-related holdings.

Can you please pick your preference of the three noted and briefly explain your choice? Dock credits accordingly please.

Thanks very much.

Michael

Q: Could I have your thoughts on this Oil/Gas...mainly gas company. I have been following this company for a while now. They seem to have just hit a great well. Mid to longer term contracts are being signed on a fairly quick pace. My issues are with the promoters and members of the company. Do you have any insight. I remember another company that had promoters like this and was starting a pipeline...delays..cost overruns ..bought up other properties while ballooning the debt and being sold for pennies. MMT. Once again thank you for your thoughts. Jason

Q: just did a deal with suimitomo for $1 billion for a 13 %interest in a US copper mine.(morenci).
according to the talking heads this deal values copper at a minimum $3 per pound and has moved FCX stock nicely.
my question is with FM. this announcement seems to have moved the stock.would a small position be advisable 1 or 2% As I have learned these stocks move quickly in both directions.If you believe the sky is not falling ,there should be a bid for copper as this deal indicates.
Thx Blake
