Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
In the last 4 months HMY has gone from $0.52 to $4.19. I guess you could say it went from the Intensive Care Unit to being discharged from the hospital with a positive prognosis. Ha!Ha! You would agree it was due for profit taking. Yesterday it declined 10% on 11M volume. Then in the last 30 minutes it traded 35M shares and went up 5%. only loosing 3% for the day. I was amazed! So please tell me what this means. Was this institutional buying on the dip...is this a good sign for the future? Also is there a rough rule of thumb between the price correlation between bullion and miners when they are already in profit territory? So if bullion went up 10% to $1375.00 what might happen to HMY?
Thanks for your continued knowledge and insight...

Q: Of these 4, which 2 do you rate highest? Do any other similar
non-mining Au and Ag operators come to mind? I am staying away
from Sprott Physicals because any increase in the metals may be offset by the drop in the US dollar.

Q: B2Gold released Q4 and 2015 YE results. They took some one-time charges/impairments, but also made (I believe) a good deal to advance their Fekola project, which many see as a 'game-changer' for the company. Their 2016 target for AISC is pretty decent around $900. They are also increasing production. What are your thoughts/comments?

Q: Hello Pater & Co,
I'd like to have some exposure to Gold with small positions in Agnico Eagle, Detour and Franco Nevada; but the RSI's indicate they are in an overbought position; the purchases would represent a timid 2.5% of my portfolio. Is it OK to buy now or should I wait for a pull back?
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: Hi, I sent in a question a few months ago asking for a few gold stock names for my portfolio. I haven't bought them yet And have decided id rather buy a gold etf as its easier to manage. Should I buy a bulllion etf or a gold stock etf? This would be for a long term hold. And which etf specifically would you recommend? Or even half of each.

Q: Peter and team:
I am down 30% on G and it represents about 1/2 weighting (2.5%) in a portfolio modelled much after our BE portfolio.
I missed the switch to AEM when you made it last month. Would you still recommend the switch in light of recent movements by both. Also would you suggest topping up with cash to bring holding to full weighting(5%) at this time, or wait for a pull back. Time frame is 10 years+ (hopefully).

Thanks as always.

Q: What do you think of SSP on the venture? I noticed back in 2010/2011 the stock price was around $10. What was the market cap back then and how many shares were outstanding in 2010/2011? How can I find that info myself? Thanks
