Q: Can you tell me more about Foran Mining Corp(FOM) . Especially in its longer term outlook and the insider buying and holders which drew my attention to the stock. The CEO Daniel Myerson, has been buying, so has Fairfax Financial and Canada growth fund. What do you think of the CEO? Prem Watsa’s interest? and Canada Growth fund Inc? Do they know something we don’t about the future of the company? Thank you.

Q: Hello! Thank you for all your amazing information. I hold some physical ounces of gold in my portfolio as a hedge. What do you think Trump's threat of a tariff on gold by the end of the month will have on the price per ounce? I am thinking of selling it and replacing it with a gold ETF when the (gold) dust settles.

Q: I just got my semi annual one page share holders report from GDXY .... I'm sure you did as well as I see it in your disclaimer below ..... So I'll just refer to sections and you can reference your copy of the report ....... I thought this was a gold miners ETF ? .... Looking on the left side of the page I see

Security Type - Investments U.S Treasury Securities ....... 64.9%

Cash and Equivalents ...... 31.9%

Purchased Call Options ...... 3.9%

On the right side of the page I see " What did the fund invest in ? " ..... And other than the treasuries and the call options a list of very small negative numbers ......

So in my best Wendy's advertising voice { where's the beef } .....Where's the gold ? ..... And what do those negative numbers mean ? ....... This fund appears to be 96% treasuries and cash . How the heck do they come up with a yield of 43% ? It looks to me like there is very little option trading going on ..... Please explain how this works ...... { in words an idiot can understand because that would be me } ...... Thanks for your terrific service ......

Could you recommend a few Canadian precious metals ETFs with a capital gains focus. I am not looking for income.
