Q: A question was recently asked about whether gold has finished its run and you said no. I don’t think I have ever owned anything related to gold and i don’t know much about it. But, if it has more runway and we face a bit of an uncertain future, it may be time to test the water. I imagine some kind of etf, either US or Cdn would fit best. What would you suggest on each side of the border for someone in my position
Thanks for great advice

Q: I'm interested in exposure to natural gas - exposure to LNG, data center power, etc. I came across the FCG ETF some time ago, but never really paid much attention to it until now. I've noticed that it is trading lower today than during the GFC period. Regarding this ETF, how does today compare to then? Are there future contracts within this ETF ?........Different components within the ETF itself compared to 17 years ago?.....a worse price for the commodity ?

Do you like this ETF for Natural Gas exposure? UNG doesn't really appeal to me because of its make-up.

Q: My stock allocation for Canada and US combined is close to 90 per cent.
I’m very pleased with my portfolio growth and I have your team to thank for the advice and suggestions. In my portfolio analysis, your suggestion is for me to have 30 per cent allocated to international stocks. Since the vast majority of your advice and reports pertain to Canadian and to a lesser extent American stocks, how do I gain the expertise and suggestions having to do with international investing? Is it really a concern or can I accomplish steady growth without the full 30 percent international diversification? Thanks

Q: We have held ABBV for the past five years in our two RRIF accounts. It is now a 4.1% position with a 120% gain. Is it time to take profits and move on, given that the dividend is now at a yield just around 3%. Are there better health care dividend growth positions? ETF's or single stocks. It is a solid company. Is it best to just keep holding.

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
Could I get your opinion of ZJG ETF from BMO please ??
The large cap golds have done really well lately and my guess is that the Junior Gold space will really get it into gear moving forward.
If you have a better alternative to ZJG I would love to hear about it.
Thank you so much for your expertise. DL

Q: I recall asking here why materials stocks, namely gold, were so low. Now with gold prices rocketing I am amusing myself with the opposite worry. I am holding this etf and see that it has had a meteoric rise. Do you think that this is a still a prudent investment or is there a better way to manage my materials exposure? Is gold unnecessarily high right now?

Q: In my USD Rif, I have a small number of blue chip dividend payers. I want to reduce single stock risk and diversify across North American and International.
Mandate is, 4% plus yield, low Mer, Large market cap, lower volatility, and Capital preservation more so than appreciation. With respect to these (leaning toward Jepi vs Spyi), do you have any concerns holding over the long term
