Q: Hi 5i team,
I want to add gold bullion as an asset class in my portfolio. What's the difference between KILO and PHYS? Which one do you prefer and the reasons behind? Is this asset class best be inside non registered account or inside RRSP/RRIF account?
Thanks.

Q: After many years I still remember when gold was a great investment until the day arrived and it was not. Also silver was hot (remember the Hunt brothers?) The memory lingers because I lost a few dollars in the process.
Since then I have stayed clear of precious metals however perhaps the time has arrived (late of course) when I should reconsider a small step back into the arena.
Do you believe FNV may have a chance of restoring by belief in the future (five years) of the precious metal market? In other words should I take a small position or wait for the next shoe to drop?
Thanks

Q: When I graph the performance of these four gold miners over a period of three months, six months or year to date, KNT and FVI appear to have performed best. Can I trust Mr Market here? I hold shares in each of these two companies. Should I add to these positions or sell them in preference to MMX and WDO?
If you do not trust what the market seems to be telling me here please explain why.

Q: Retired dividend-income investor. Sitting on 6% cash. Looking to add some gold exposure. Do you think there is more upside to gold over the next couple of years? For the most part, I am a buy-and-hold investor, not a short term trader. Is there an ETF that a) pays a dividend > 3% and b) that contains both the miners and bullion? If not, what would be the best route to get sector exposure, leaning to the conservative side? Thanks...Steve

Thx.

Q: Midas just got their DEIS for their project in Idaho. They will probably get the final EIS in Q2 of next year, and start building the mine late 2021, assuming all goes as planned.
I'm up about 140% on the stock, and wondering if it is worth holding on to during all the permitting that will go on for the next year or more. I don't really see the share price doing much during that time.
Any thoughts, advice? Thanks

Q: My question wasn't understood. I wasn't referring to the % difference in share price but I was meaning to point in the share performance. For example today CGL down -0.55% and PHYS -0.83%. Cgl goes up more when gold goes us and less when gold goes down. Why?

Q: Hello 5I Team
Newmont Corporation is a US domiciled company and trades primarily on the US market (NEM:US) and it also trades on the Canadian Market (NGT:CA).
I am assuming the Canadian listing is a result of the Goldcorp acquisition in 2019.
1 - Which is the better market (Canada or US) to purchase Newmont on?
2 - Assuming the dividends from Newmont are not eligible for the dividend tax credit, would it be better to buy the Canadian domiciled companies (ABX, AEM, FNV, KL etc.) and receive eligible dividends? The yield on all the major gold miners is approximately 1 %, so I understand yield is not the primary reason for holding gold stocks.
Thanks
