Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I have two questions for you:
1. I currently own TGZ and looking to add another small/mid cap gold play. I've zeroed in on EQX and WDO. Which do you prefer or is there another name you prefer.
2. WELL or DOC.....which do you prefer and why?

Thanks so much,

Dennis

Q: Thank you for the quick response to my ER/AUG. After reading your response, I realized that with ER currently trading at .26, its way below the implied deal price of .42 and I would potentially be leaving a lot of money on the table if I was to sell now and buy AUG. Hence I am best to wait selling my ER to see where all this settles as you suggest. Having said that, my reason to sell was to capture a large loss on ER shares while keeping my AUG exposure - however, if the deal goes through, would the conversion to .117 shares of the new company FURY be considered a deemed disposition of ER??? In that case if I do nothing I would be able to claim the capital loss of ER and still get the new Fury shares if/when the deal goes through? Correct?

Q: Hi 5i team. Is it unusual for trading to be halted for over 6 hours today (so far), with no communication from anyone why?.. and no indication when trading will resume?

I see nothing in my TD Webroker news feed except for the news of the trading halt itself, and nothing published today on the Nuvo website.
Based on your info sources, are you able to discern and share what the reason for the trading halt may be? Typically where else would such information be available?

Q: I am holding this name, but at under 2% of RRSP. I also have a position in XGD, which obviously has not risen as smartly this year. I'm bullish on gold over the next year, but also don't want to be greedy, so I'm asking if I let PRYM run or churn out to XGD or elsewhere in this space? Thanks

Q: I own a lot of ER stock in a non-registered account. Even with the run up in price with the announced takeover bid by AUG, I have a considerable Capital Loss. I would like to capture that loss but remain exposed to any further upside that this deal MAY unlock if it comes to fruition. 1) Does it make sense to sell my ER shares now and immediately purchase AUG with the proceeds......this should keep my exposure 100% intact would it not? 2) I assume that because the deal is not done and the two stocks are completely different entities that this would NOT be deemed a superficial loss......is that correct? 3) is it very likely that ER may receive a better bid from someone else and I would lose out by switching the shares to AUG? 4) What would you do in my situation?

Many Thanks
Scott

Q: I don't own Sherritt thankfully. You note today (July 31) in your response to a question on CNC that nickel prices may strengthen due to electric battery demand. Do you think this will help S or are is the company too far gone? S used to own a nickel mine or smelter to Cuba. Does S still have nickel resources in Cuba and if so do you think a Democratic victory this November will ease restrictions on the import of Cuban nickel into the United States? Any comments on S's cobalt warrants? Are the holders in the money?
Thanks,
Jim
