Q: I take note that in the reply to Maureen’s query on gold companies that MMX was omitted. Is there any reason for that other than size and risk. What is your view on MMX potential if gold rises during the massive QE effort going on. Do royalty companies have any extra leverage to the price of gold when it rises
Thank You

Q: A lot of the precious metal stocks have been on the rise in the past few weeks and yet First Majestic Silver seems to be on a steady decline. Any thoughts on the reason it is declining? I am wondering if I should cut my losses on this stock, sell it and replace it with PAAS. Your thoughts on this move would be appreciated.

Thanks as always

Q: Hi 5i,

Thanks for the great work. I’m seeing a number of questions on inflation, and gold and silver exposure. In today’s economic environment where resource needs are very low, do you see opportunity to start adding positions in Teck or XME to position for the economy to come back online, and build in an inflation hedge?

Thanks in advance. Timing is such a challenge right now where being too early, is the same as being wrong.

Q: Hi 5iTeam -I am interested in buying shares related to copper exploration and/or production and in particular Trilogy Metals. For some reason I am not able to buy these shares online in my TD Waterhouse accounts and need to go through a representative. Of course there are long wait times due to the environment we live in now so I am wondering if there are any other companies in the copper field that might have reasonable potential for success. Anything in the junior exploration stage is fine as well as an actual producer. Two important components are a balance sheet that would get the company through the next couple of years as well as decent management. Any exchange in Canada and the U.S. is fine.

Thanks.

P.S. If you think Trilogy is worth the wait time to buy (up to two hours), please let me know.

Q: I have CGL.C in my non rrsp account and do have a capital gain so I am thinking of selling this as I do have some capital loss that I can use it to offset the gain. I know you also mentioned that PHYS also has lower fees than CGL.C so would this be a good switch?
Thanks

Q: With the huge amounts of dollars being infused into the economic system by governments around the world are we going to be seeing the reduction of the value of currencies around the globe? Does it make sense at this time to invest in other asset classes such as gold, silver or anything else you can suggest.
And if diversifying into another asset class makes sense, how would one go about buying gold or silver or any other asset class you can suggest.
thanks, Jean

Q: What do you make of the Leagold merger?
Do they have enough money to significantly further their two development projects and two expansion projects.
I hear that Mexico and Brazil have obtained "swap status", whereby Investment in Brazil and Mexico are now, like Canada, considered to be in safe jurisdictions.
If this is accurate, will the "risky-jurisdiction" discount be eliminated and replaced with a safe jurisdiction premium.
Finally, does Frank Giustra hold an interest in the new company.
Thank you
