Q: We currently hold TD, BNS and BMO. Is there any advantage to holding ZWB instead of individual Canadian banks in the current market environment? Would the covered-call overlay produce additional returns over holding the individual banks?

Q: Do gold-producer stock-price declines suggest sector capitulation? Understanding that gold itself may be range-bound for some time, is there bounce potential for the producer stocks? Wrt FNV, how does one assess the relative contributions of gold vs. oil+gas? Please feel free to suggest an alternate vehicle for this sector; I never expected to see so many 'blue-chip' producers so far down.

Q: Hi Team,

Blake asked a question about Goldcorp (G) and you suggested the possibility of exiting the materials sector altogether.

As a long-term, value contrarian should I be looking at that as a buy signal, now that it looks like capitulation is occurring? ;-)

Seriously, if you were to pick a handful of materials companies that will survive the onslaught which ones would they be? The more down trod the better (but still able to survive).

Sorry, I don't mean to be cheeky. I totally respect your advice and service and follow it daily. Your advice has helped me make a good chunk of money, which would not have happened without my membership and I really appreciate it. Don't know where I'd be without you!

Cheers, Michael

Q: Good morning Peter. I would like to invest in the metalls/resources sector for 3 year hold as current prices seem to be historically low. Can you suggest 5 good company's that can sustain the current downturn (lower debit, good assets, reasonable cash flow) that look very attractive at current price levels. Thank you for your great service.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

What are your thoughts on the current pricing of PHM? Do you think the price has hit a bottom yet? I have 3/4 position, so should I be adding or wait and see what the next results bring?

Also when is Concordia's next earnings report? Last earnings was OK, with light revenue, did management adjust guidance for this or was there just lag in sales say due to timing of acquisitions?

Thanks, Shane

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
It was a brutal day for materials and energy,
I'm glad that my holdings in the Materials sector (5.7% of portfolio) consist of Chemtrade, Interfor (for US housing) and Stella Jones.
I wonder if I should further reduce my Energy holdings (4.4%) consisting of Tourmaline, Vermillion and Whitecap or get out completely; ditto for Energy Infra/Midstream (9.3%) consisting of Altagas, Enbridge, Inter Pipe, Keyera and Pembina.
Thanks for your input.
Antoine

Q: I am acutely aware that Gold is down sharply today. You have already answered another member about the investors losing confidence in commodities.
Of the medium sized Gold companies CG seems to have held the price better than others though it is also down! For example compared to Alamos, Yamana, Eldorado and such.
I see not many questions on CG on members' questions. None for a year approximately. What are the companies that can be compared to CG?
Any opinions or comments?
Thanks in advance.
