Investment Q&A

Q: Newmarket Gold has had a tumble over the past week and I am debating whether I take profits and exit or hold for a change in the sector. I would appreciate your guidance. Thank you ...

Q: You have often mentioned that you like to hold some gold in a portfolio as "insurance" but I am wondering how this strategy differs from that of holding a well-constructed portfolio. To me, insurance is something that pays out cash when things go bad. I understand that gold can be that asset that increases in value when things go really "bad" but is the suggestion that you would then sell the gold at that point? If you don't sell then, isn't the value of gold likely go down once things recover and other than a portfolio that stays even on paper, at the end of the cycle you really haven't created any new wealth. My concern with gold and gold mining companies is that these assets don't seem to create long-term wealth and would, therefore, be more appropriate for a person with a trading strategy than an investing strategy.

Thank you and appreciate your insight.

Q: Good Morning 5i
Please provide your comments on the significance of today's company update. Does it represent any news that would increase the value of the company? Or simply reassuring confirmation of previous information. Drilling results are not being reported now until later in November, including info on additional Doris site results. Appreciate your comments on effect today's release (and lack of drilling results) may have on SP.
Thank you.
Randy

Q: Hello 5i team, Could you explain what is gold streaming and how revenue is generated and taxed? What is the difference between streaming and royalties? Would you recommend investing in streaming companies such as franco nevada as an alternative to have gold in your portfolio or in conjunction with? Would this be considered in the income portion of a portfolio? If you know of a good source that explains it please post. Thanks in advance

Q: Hello 5i team,
I never held any gold or gold related equity; with today's significant drop in their value (don't know why), would it be a good time to get some exposure or do you foresee further drop?
Thanks,

Q: Is the current buying interest in Sherritt mainly short-covering? I'm looking to sell my holding for the loss and am wondering if I might get a better price by waiting a bit. Thanks for your reply.
