Q: Would you still be a buyer of gold at this level? If so, do you prefer the miners or just a physical gold ETF? If the former, what companies do you currently prefer?
Many thanks!

Q: I just got my monthly dividend for GDXY in my account dated June 23/25 ..... Multiplying the amount by 12 and then dividing it by the current value of the position { and then multiplying by 100 } I came up with a 68.62%% yield { annualized } for the month of May. { April was up too at 59% } ..... That is considerably higher than the 42% the ETF is shooting for .... First, are my figures correct ? ..... And second can this increase be attributed to what I call the " Trump Option Premium " ? .... Trump's on again off again tariffs, and whichever country he decides to threaten or bomb the snot out of ...... This makes for a volatile market which makes for higher option premiums ? ..... If not to what does 5i attribute these two months of higher than the norm yields to ? ...... { In a few days my SLVO dividend will be deposited. It will be interesting to see what that annualized return will be . It was 32.5% for April } ...... Thanks for your terrific service .....

Q: Can you please comment on Sprott Silver Miners & Physical Silver ETF (SLVR). The ETF is new as of early 2025: does it pay a dividend? I am looking for small cap silver miner exposure and SLVR appears to hold 64% small caps less than $2B. Most of the holdings are in Canada. I don't know how much Eric Sprott has control over the holdings. Or is SILJ a safer bet: it has about 34% small caps, $300M to $2B and pays a nice dividend of about 5%.

Q: Ross Healy, who typically does not make sensational statements lightly, spooked me yesterday during a podcast interview with Amber Kanwar. He sees tech stocks dropping 60% which will invariably pull other types of stocks down for the ride. He suggests moving to gold... could you suggest a couple gold stocks with strong balance sheets? A mix of large, mid and small caps would be great. Thanks!
