Q: Currentlly my portfolio in gold consists of 3 holdings. They are :

AEM - YTD + 20%, 1 YR + 90%

NUGT - YTD + 34% 1YR + 67%

WGX - YTD - 8% N/A

As you can see the weed in the portfolio is wgx.

Question to you is when I prune WGX out of the portfolio should I just put that money into the other 2 holdings or should I add a third that is an elite performer.

What would be the best from a portfolio management perspective and if you decided to add a third what would it be?

Sheldon

PS Don't worry about NUGT I know the ins and out and have made lots of money on these leveraged ETF's like NUGT, QLD, NAIL, etc

Thanks

Q: I am a bit confused why a company with about 25% of its current market cap (40+ million USD cash as per last quarter report) sitting in cash on the balance sheet - with no debt - would raise 10% more equity (just 20 million cad) at a 10% discount to its current price which is already quite cheap… I am scratching my head… I really like this stock/company but now I am questioning management haha. Am I wrong? Thanks

Q: I have two small holdings in the materials sector, EQX (1% of portfolio) and NGT (1.5% of portfolio). I am thinking of consolidating them. NGT is the larger company by far, and has faced some negative investor sentiment recently, but to my knowledge, remains profitable and should perform better in the next several quarters. EQX has had better recent momentum, but is much smaller than NGT. This would be for a longer-term hold.

An alternative strategy would be to sell both and purchase another gold mining company with these funds.

I would appreciate any thoughts or insights you would be willing to share. Thanks so much, and I look forward to your reply.

Q: Hi Peter…May I have your thoughts on the McEwen announcement? I can’t figure out who is buying whom. It looks like GOT is taking a position in McEwen which seems distracting. Can GOT sell the $10 million worth of McEwen shares? Is this a start of a merger? Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: Can I get your thoughts on Capstone please? Seems to keep dropping and now with talk of tariffs and maybe smaller AI infrastructure, it’s not looking great. Would you still hold here? If not, do you have another recommendation for materials sector? CAD or US? My only other one in this sector is Agnico Eagle.

Q: Hello 5i
I took up a small partial position in Atex with the news AEM bought a stake….at the AEM deal price
I did not buy huge due to dilution reminder in AEM deal……they have anti dilution rights.

Seeing the price jump obviously make me wish I had bought more.

What to do now?
I was going to buy more over time but did not expect the price jump.

Does one just add at this point or should a pull back be expected after recent move. Tough call but what’s your experience with wippy mining stocks say to you.

The deposit is real and heavy weights are in. That does not always mean timing is good for buy at $1.90/share.

Thoughts on adding here or a plan with this type of position?

Thanks

Dave

Q: The new management team at I 80 gold led by Richard Young has made a few small moves to recapitalize the company. The gold deliveries that were due have been moved forward and they did a small capital raise at 80 cents per share. What is your opinion of the actions that Young and his team have made to date? Are they just buying time or are they slowly getting I 80 on firmer financial footing?

Q: Hi Peter…A couple of days ago FWZ announced that Adam Lundin would take on the role of Chairman of the Board of Directors. Do you think the Lundin group is signalling an intent to take complete control of Fireweed in the near future? Would you be a buyer if you were willing to accept the risks? I’m assuming at some time in the future Lundin will buy out FWZ’s minority shareholders by issuing shares in Lundin. Any comments you have would be appreciated.
Looks like your prediction of a 10 bagger is coming closer! (…but still pretty far off!)
