Q: Never owned this resource stock; however, it's B.S. is pristine. With this COVID-19 situation and a high probability of things really slowing down, this stock probably has more downside - or not? My feeling are, you buy this one when there is blood in the street: high PE. The other thing is, they pay no dividend of any consequence, which they could afford. I don't think I've ever owned a resource stock other than O & G.

Appreciate your comments.

Q: With a highly leveraged ETF like JNUG getting wiped out 90+%, what is the risk/reward of having a small position at current levels? If the sector sees a recovery and the fund returns to even close to where it had been there's potential for a small investment to be worth something if you took profits and sold the position. On the other hand, if there is an extended downturn, what is the risk of just holding the position aside from opportunity cost? Thanks.

Q: Is it likely that when the dust settles after this crisis, with all the government spending, that we may enter into a period of hyper inflation? In your opinion, would I be better off sitting on cash or gold?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
It is my understanding that MDI is one of the best drilling companies in the world. I realize that a recession would reduce the demand for minerals, fuels etc. and reducing income. However 50% of there contracts is drilling for gold which does look positive for the next several years. Larry Berman on BNN predicts gold will hit $1900.00 within 2 years. So I am wondering if this might be a good contrarian investment at all time low prices or is this just another value trap. Your general assessment would be appreciated. Thank you immensely.

Q: Good Morning,
There has been a lot of talk about the value of owning gold in a portfolio recently. I was wondering if you could let me know how I can go about owning gold inside my TFSA? In addition, would now be a good time to buy gold, or would it be better to wait until markets rebound. In other words, is gold a better buy when markets are doing well.

Regards,

Ryan

Q: How significant are the actions taken by Kirkland? Would you buy the stock today? Would AEM be a better purchase? Considering the current world situation, does a gold purchase make sense if you have no exposure? Do you have "better" ideas for gold exposure?

Q: I'm holding the following since I thought they would be considered safe stocks, however they are going down with all the rest.

1) I made the big mistake that gold miners would actually do well in the current situation, however I know see my mistake that I should have purchased gold directly. Would you, given the situation today, sell the miners and buy gold directly - what has the past crises shown about gold versus gold miners?
2) Do you think the utilities above will stabalize near current levels, or do you see that there will be a reset in all P/E and P/C levels down to lower levels?
