Q: Sorry for what may be a naive question, but assuming the .35% (?) fee for holding this security is an annual fee, how is it collected?

Q: Re: Lorrianes question on holding gold.
As an option there are these two ETR's available through the Canadian Mint (US and CDN) . I believe they will send you the gold if you have a full 10000 ETR's. Here is the website link

TSX symbols MNT:CA , MNT.U:CA

Q: I have about 4% of my portfolio in MNT, ABX, and K, all bought a year ago and 20-25% under water. I am having trouble deciding if I should cut my losses, put them towards better gold stocks like AEM, or get rid of my gold exposure completely. If you're in my position, what would you do? What is your outlook for gold in the next few years? Are there any catalysts for gold as a sector you can foresee? I have a hard time envisioning them doing well when the economy is growing so nicely
Or is it good to keep as a hedge against the down days like today? The rest of my portfolio is diversified enough tending towards the growthy stocks, if that matters.

Thanks for your insight.
