Investment Q&A

Q: can you list the 5 best gold stocks in order of 1st choice to 5th?

Q: Hello,
Back in December you mentioned Kinross was not your favourite in its sector.
What is your favourite in the sector?
Minimum 5 year hold.
Looking to add to my TFSA or RRSP.

Q: ZJG vs specific stocks:
Which 4 or 5 of the names (juniors) held in ZJG could do better than the ETF?
A ranking or risk level will also help
Thank you!

Q: What is the best option to buy gold as a hedge in the event of weakening USD?

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
Clarence

Q: I have 5% in KL. Less than 1% in phys.
I think owning a total of 10% in my portfolio could be appropriate sooner than later,
I would like your opinion of the top five small gold and five silver cos. As well 5 of the top larger larger gold and silver companies.

If bto is not in your list please advise your reasoning. Thank you very much.

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
Paula

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 group what % of my portfolio should I hold in gold and what companies would you suggest I am a low to medium risk investor Thanks

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: What are you doing with Largo right now? I noticed you guys took it out of your portfolio's. I have a four-year investment timeline and a large stake in Largo, do you think the price of vanadium will rebound?

Thanks, Jacob.

Q: What are fees for these?

Thanks,

Q: Does PHYS buy and store actual gold at a facility that they control? How do they make their money on this fund? I'm seeing comments on paper vs physical gold, and wondering which I own in PHYS.

Q: Is PHYS:CA best held in a TFSA or RRSP, advantages or disadvantages please?
Thank you

Q: Do you expect the jewelry business to decline in 2020 ? Mene being an online business might see more traffic, do you agree ? They will report their Q4 and end of year around May 31st. I have no doubt this will be their best quarter yet. But I am questioning how their business will fair for 2020 and beyond. Can you comment on management and business model ?
Thanks

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: Hello 5i team. Is the sudden jump in TMAC based on any substantive news? I can't find anything. Thanks as always. - Asher

Q: I notice in your replies to questions about gold companies you rarely include Wesdome, although you have spoken positively about it in the past. Does this have to do with its size, valuation or are there other concerns at play?

Thank you as always. Keep well.

Q: Wondering what would be your favorite gold ideas/stocks over the next year or so which might capitalize on increasing gold prices?

Thanks
Jeff

Q: I have small positions in FNV and AEM. I am looking to add another gold company. Would you prefer ABX or NEM and why? Or would you prefer KL over those two and why?
Thanks, Tim.
