Q: I read with interest your recent article in the Post and was intrigued by the comment that research shows 90% of portfolio returns come from sector allocation - if a person wanted to take advantage of that, in a simple, easy to manage and inexpensive way (ignoring taxes for the moment) what would be your view be on an approach where one's equity component of their portfolio consisted entirely of a number of ETF's with each one of the ETF's focused on a particular sector, with a periodic (say quarterly) rebalancing? What specific ETF's would you suggest for such a portfolio? Thank you.

Q: You keep referring to Nemaska as high risk. I agree it has risen exponentually but have you actually looked at the company? ie the source of its lithium,the state of its mine,the relationship with the Cree people, the source of its hydro,the method of ore transportation,the compositiom of the board,the nature of its financing,and the progress of the company towards production and the price it will get for its product and the state of the market overall. Given that ( except for the enthusiasm and momentum ) what is the nature of the risk in your mind from one to three.?

Q: I am sorry if this is a stupid question due to my incompetence. About a decade ago I made good money on a gold stock - Central Gold Trust (GTU.UN). I can't find it anywhere, what happened to it? Thanks again Henry

Q: Hello Peter,
Do you feel it is too late to buy silver stocks as the run up has been quite good? I am looking at the following: silver wheaton , first majestic, ishares silver trust (SLV) or central fund of canada (cef.A) which gives mixture of silver and gold? Also, do you feel gold standard ventures is a stock that can be held for few years with a hope of increased capital appreciation or possible take over. Thank you.

Q: Victoria Gold has been spectacular lately, I believe because it represents a good option on the gold price....they have cash ( recently raised more), an exploration program and a fully permitted "shovel ready" property. Now that it has spurted from roughly the 20c level it is probably getting ahead of itself at 53c close today.
My question is do you have another 2-3 companies that you are aware of with similar qualities (optionality, cash, decent property) that have not had a big move yet ?

Q: Silver stocks. I checked performance one month, three months, 6 months and one year on fr,mag,paa and sso. Fr came out number one,mag number two paa number three and then sso.
Silver stocks don't seem to have the volatility on the downside that gold shares do. Would you prefer silver shares to gold and silver vs. gold. I own all four and have been selling my gold shares and reinvesting funds into the 4 silver companies mentioned. It is working out in my favour. Are there any other Silver companies I should own ? Do you agree with my strategy. Silver looks better than Gold ?

Q: Peter: The IKN blog seems to think that the $27MM bought deal was solely for "defensive purposes" to avoid a take-over by Tahoe and the likes. What is your opinion on this. If this is true, could you explain why. I seems to me that any bidder would inherit this extra cash - isn't this a good thing ?? Thxs, Ralph.

Q: Hi Peter and team - Abitibi Royalties has had a very good run lately. What is your latest evaluation of this company: balance sheet, management, growth possibilities, insider ownership. A few months ago it was a 'show me' type of stock. Do you feel it is now past that stage. Also is it maybe better to let it settle down a bit before I take a position in the stock. Thanks.

Q: Good afternoon,
As part of an overall portfolio, I hold some speculative positions in precious metal stocks. These are somewhat balanced between names like FNV, THO, and PG on the one hand, and smaller and riskier names on the other. In the latter category I do hold some shares of ORG. I believe it is run by the former Red Back team, but would appreciate your views on whether a position should be maintained.
Thank you.
