Q: Hi there. I am building up precious metal related positions in preparation for some tariff chaos the next couple quarters. I have SII, FSM, NGD and SBSW. I am wanting to accumulate more (5%) portfolio weighting and wondering if you can rank these in terms of which ones to add to in order of growth potential and being undervalued?

Thanks in advance! Kevin

Q: I own the above Precious Metals companies having bought all over the past 4 or 5 years. Based on my cost all of them are in a profit position to varying degrees.

Each was bought for a somewhat different reason ie B2 because of heavy sell off n divi, Fortuna as a potential turnaround, Equinox as a turnaround .. similarly Wesdome.

I am always interested in holding good companies that have turnaround n takeout potential.

Which would you continue to hold and which would you sell to streamline my holdings keeping in mind AEM has performed well whilst some of the others have been following the general market updraft n may or may not have catalysts to drive them higher?

Q: Hi 5i,

I realize this Ely is a very small and risky company but it looks as though Sprott has recently taken on even more exposure. Also what are your thoughts on Wallbridge’s recent results? What are you thoughts on taking a position in either wallbridge and ely? Usually royalty companies are safer?

Also, any opinion on the outlook for silver miners?

Thank you!
