Q: As my hedge against what I believed would be the possible decline of the U.S. dollar as the U.S.A. issued more and more debt, gold producers K and NGT have come to represent roughly 5% of my portfolio. With the uncertainty caused by Covid-19, K and NGT have increased in value nicely and have served as a useful hedge against declines elsewhere in my portfolio. Now with all the government assistance, I believe that government balance sheets everywhere will be seriously strained, but as this is a worldwide phenomenon perhaps the U.S. dollar will not fare so badly against the rest of the world. Is it time to take profits in K and NGT ?

Q: Hi 5i team, Alacer stock softened on the first day (May 11th) after the deal announcement with SSR. Since end of the day on Monday May 11th the stock is up approx. 25% in 5 trading days. In your opinion, is the market expecting a competing bid or is this bid up in the stock a recognition of the synergies that will occur with the merger?
Thanks
Rob

Q: I have held this for a while in my cash account and is well under underwater (65%). I could sell at a loss to offset gains. In your opinion what are the chances it will recover in the short to medium term? Would it be better to harvest the loss and buy something with better prospects for growth? What would you buy in its place, sector not an issue? I have a fairly well diversified portfolio including some gold.
Please deduct as many credits as appropriate.
Thank you.

Q: As I understand Golden Valley (gzz.v) owns 45%, or 5.6 million shares, of Abitibi Royalties (rzz.v). Abitibi has a market cap of c$275 million. That puts Golden Valley's share of Abitibi alone at c$123 million market value. But Golden Valley's market cap is only c$72 million. CEO of Golden Valley is chairman of both boards. Same CFOs. Abitibi is buying back/reducing share count aggressively. What am I missing in these valuations?

Q: Could you please give me your current thoughts on Northern Dynasty Minerals. In August you mentioned that their Pebble project once again has a way forward. They continue to move slowly forward on getting the project permitted. With Alaskas current heavy dependency on oil jobs and revenue in serious decline, mineral projects will become ever more important source of revenue for them.
As always thanks for the great insights and advice.
