Q: May I please have your opinion on taking a new position in gold? I am an ultra conservative investor, retired for 14 years, who covers all my daily living expenses through company and government pensions, and use investment income primarily for holidays and extra pursuits. Most of my investments are in fixed income such as GIC's, preferred ETF's, and bond ETF's. Would you recommend a gold ETF or a specific equity? Thanks!

Q: PVG has been a short target for a long time, perhaps a hangover from the Farqu-up period. In the last couple of weeks shorts have increased a further 260,000 to 31% of the issued stock and equal to 15 days of average trading. I like this gold producer. What am I overlooking? Phil

Q: I own a small position in Karmin Exploration (@.30/share). How would you view today's news release? With Aripuana's projected estimates, is it possible to estimate what Karmin's 30% stake in Aripuana is worth? I understand that there is a lot of variables and if you can't answer this question, any other information or insight would be appreciated.

Q: I considered a switch from DGC to KL when the US dollar started an upward trend. I did not make the move figuring earnings are earnings and we should convert earnings to Can dollar for an apples to apples comparison. Of course in hindsight I should have made the switch.
Was my viewpoint on the currency wrong in this case or was there another reason for the price moves in these two stocks? Could you talk a little more about how USD/CAN fluctuations might change investors viewpoints on our Canadian mining stocks and which companies can benefit or get dinged?

Q: Hi 5i, what's your thought on DGC? Is the worst over now? Google finance has one article said Detour gold stock has high short interest, how to check that is it true. I didn't sell it because A lot of analyst said gold price will go up to $1400 this year, gold price was up $1357 a few weeks ago but DGC was at 16 or 17 Dollar. Yesterday gold price was up 15 dollar but DGC stock was down,any hope for this company turning around? Is all articles on Google finance are true ? I bought in at $20.50.If sold DGC, would you recommend sell and buy small cap gold stock such as BTO or ELD replaced or hold? thank you.
