Q: Hi Team,

Recognizing that CEF.A is about 60% gold and 40% silver, which do you prefer, 100% Central Fund splitting between Mint (MNT - gold) 60% and Mint (MNS - silver) 40% for bullion?

Thank you.

Q: Physical gold is down to levels last seen in February. I get it that it can always go lower, but is there anything about the price of gold alone that sets a defacto floor (analogously to book value for a business), or is it too much at the mercy of dollar strength, etc., to think of in this way?

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,

If you were purchasing today, what stocks and/or ETFs would you buy for each of the TSX eleven sectors? (Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Energy, Financials, Healthcare, Industrials, Information Technology, Materials, Real Estate, Telecom, and Utilities). Please give at least two choices for each sector.

My daughter-in-law has finally sold her high-MER, low-performing mutual funds, and I have set up a self-directed account for her LIRA, her RRSP, and her TFSA. She is 48 and will probably work till at least 65.

Please feel free to deduct as many question credits as you deem necessary. Thanks in advance for all your valued assistance.

Q: Teck has been hammered over the past four trading sessions. Looking at the chart, this appears to be the nastiest drop in the last year. Do you know of an underlying cause?

Q: Hello 5i team,
I hold all the stocks in the balanced portfolio except AEM and SYZ. Regarding my exposure to the tech sector, in addition to CSU, ENGH and KXS, I also hold DSG, GIB.A and OTC; so I do not think that it is necessary to add SYZ to the mix.
There seems to be some momentum in the base metals sector, as per your response to an earlier question; instead of selecting a particular company, as per your suggestions, I decided to gain exposure via either XBM or ZMT.
I look forward to your comments.
Antoine

Q: As a retired investor, I have a small defensive position in Goldcorp (which is underwater)and was wondering if Detour Gold would offer better upside potential going forward. I could use the capital loss to reduce this year's capital gains.
Also I'd like to know if you feel gold has lost its defensive nature and is no longer a "must own" in portfolios. Thank you

Q: I appreciate you view on the Hudbay minerals announced offer to buy any or all of its outstanding US$920 million aggregate principal amount of 9.500% senior notes due 2020. I own some of these bonds and I feel their offer is not attractive enough to redeem. What is the risk of not tendering? Do you think HDB can survive to pay those bonds?I don't mind holding the bonds until maturity, unless you think that HBM will not survive until then?If I tender what would would be reasonable replacement.

Thamks,
