Q: Hello Peter and Staff
I climbed the stairs with NTR and have taken the elevator down. Crop prices are cyclical but am also worried about the new supply coming on .

Would you hold or switch for one of FCX, TECK.B , AEM or SJ as my material stock

Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: My brother in law is asking me about flow through shares.
Can you provide me with some pros and cons of flow through shares.
a sense of the flow through sales industry, i.e. % commissions on the sale of these products.
How risky are they in your experience.
Do the tax breaks / incentives actually warrant the investment?
The sales pitch is that it is for high income earners, is that really because, they are the ones who can afford to lose the investment

Q: Thanking you for your advice on Karora Resources - a tidy profit , and now I own shares in Westgold after the takeover . When will you update your data on this company ? Nothing of real value on your website at present .
From company press releases the company has a market cap of some 2 billion or thereabouts , and expects to produce 400,000 + ounces of gold in 2025 . Expects significant financial savings from the takeover of Karora . Appears to be a real gem of a company . Do any analysts follow it ?

Q: I own the above Precious Metals companies having bought all over the past 4 or 5 years. Based on my cost all of them are in a profit position to varying degrees.

Each was bought for a somewhat different reason ie B2 because of heavy sell off n divi, Fortuna as a potential turnaround, Equinox as a turnaround .. similarly Wesdome.

I am always interested in holding good companies that have turnaround n takeout potential.

Which would you continue to hold and which would you sell to streamline my holdings keeping in mind AEM has performed well whilst some of the others have been following the general market updraft n may or may not have catalysts to drive them higher?

Q: This past spring I asked to look into your crystal ball and predict end of the year price of gold, the answer was $2600. Good job! I was optimistic as well and put 10% of my portfolio in gold, spread between etf's and Alamos. Does it look like it's breaking out, what's your crystal ball say now ?

Q: Hi Peter…May I have your thoughts on Almonte Industries? Do they have earnings and positive cash flow? Is insider ownership reasonable? Any idea why they are listed in so many different exchanges? With the shares trading at .79 CAD are they your basic lottery ticket with good qualities? This is a public question.

Q: Is it possible for Sherritt to file bankruptcy due to debt and what would happen to assets/operations? Nickel prices have been poor. They have a complex asset structure entangled with Cuban businesses so it's not foreseeable to be bought out due to political risk but their large refinery in Fort Sask also poses a concern for environmental reclamation to the government.

Q: OGN's has reported consistently good results and the share price has responded accordingly, such that it trades, now, at pennies below its target price (per your database.) Likewise, while it's profitable, its P/E is 143. Is its appreciation potential baked-in, or do royalty plays' different capital structures (vs mining) recommend different yardsticks?

Q: US Debt. How long before it sets off a crisis in the stock and bond markets. Is there declining interest in buying American treasuries today? And do you think there is a real risk to the dollar being replaced as the world standard. US politics and media are oblivious to this looming issue, or do you believe this is just paranoia.

Q: Hi there, I own Cameco and intend to do so for the long term. Normally I like to follow one of your portfolios so I can buy / sell when you do and don't need to think too hard about it. But Cameco is not in that portfolio. Two questions (deduct credits accordingly please):

1. What are your thoughts on Cameco for a long-term holding generally?

2. What "user instructions" would you share for a person owning this stock in particular? Eg would you suggest taking profits now and again if/when it's up, because it's cyclical, etc.? One of your recent responses on a different question got me thinking about this.

Thanks very much.
