Q: I do not own any gold or precious metals; I feel like buying anything now would be closing the gate after the horse left the barn; your view? I would have to sell something to make funds available; most likely prospects is one of the 3 banks I hold ; those 3 represent about 8.5 % of my equity holdings. Or would I be better off to just keep the banks?
Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I have held this company for a number of down years. At this point I am up about 50% which seems like a miracle. I am always reluctant to sell a winner...let them run! However I am trying to be smarter this time. Do you think it would be safer to sell this gold company now that I have a profit and buy another safer gold in the sector. I am worried that this company may have more risk factors than others. Your assessment of HMY please...does my rational have any merit? Thanks again...your opinions are always a reality check!

Q: Hello. Can I get your top 5 gold stocks which would be considered cheap with good potential upside? Same question for silver stocks?

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i,

Gold seems to be doing well in these uncertain times, as it has been touted to be, a safe haven. I have read many of the Q&A database but I am not sure if the following has been asked. Few Gold companies provide dividends but I am attracted to those that do, as dividends provide confidence on the company. FNV is one.

Do you think that in the current environment (rising Gold prices, uncertainty, increased demand) that those dividend producing Gold companies might increase their dividends ? If so, do you have one or two that might be the most likely to do so ? (Or, ... one or two that might initiate a dividend - please subtract 2 questions).

Thanks for your rock hard committment to your clients during these strange times. VERY re-assuring.

Q: Hello,

I have held some shares of SGOL for awhile as my gold bulion holding. I noticed that there are no questions ever asked about SGOL and usually you recommend PHYS for bullion exposure. Can you comment on SGOL and compare to PHYS? Looks like SGOL has the lowest management fees of the bullion etf's. Is there any great reason to switch to PHYS or consider it for future purchases?

Thanks

Q: Hello, on several occasions you have suggested PHYS as a tool to invest in gold bullion. I see that there are two versions of PHYS, one is CA and the other is US. Which one would you recommend in a non registered account? Thanks, Gervais

Q: I owned a gold stock a very very long time ago: Placer Dome. I held it for quite a while and when I sold, I may have broke even. Since then, I have not help any gold stocks. Question: what are your thoughts on owning gold? I am of the opinion thus: own companies that produce something and have a history of increasing dividends every year. Some people are worried about inflation - not me - can't see it any time soon and devaluation due to all the money printing. Comments please with suggestion if gold is a consideration?
