Q: Hi Team,
As you mentioned Sprott made a bid for Central Fund of Canada yesterday and CEF.A stock went up 3.1% by the close. I understand this is a hostile bid. Do you think there will be a competing bid or any more upside to CEF.A? Coincidentally, I was planning to sell my CEF.A holdings next week and replace them with PHYS. Do you see any reason to hold off on that? Thank you, Michael

Q: Hi Team,
This question is about investing in a gold ETF. Sprott Physical Gold Trust (PHYS) I believe is a closed-end fund. I read this affects its ability to issue new shares so it cannot effectively track the price of gold. This means shares could trade at a premium to net asset value and not truly track the price of gold. Is that true and if so, is it a concern? Thank you. Michael

Q: Good Friday Everyone,

With all the talk about cobalt which one of the following would you look at. KAT has mines in Congo and is more of pure play but is it a good company? Which one has the most upside potential, which one is safe, and which one has the best management? Will you please rank them accordingly? And finally how are do you rank them over all as a comapny?

And one more things, do you have any suggestion outside these?

Thank you for making investing possible for us!

Q: Hi 5i,

Could I get your thoughts on EDR's earnings?

It looked to me that they were pretty flat compared to last year even though they had lowered production costs and were selling at better commodity prices. Management mentioned they had slowed production at the start of 2016 which impacted the revenues, however. They also re-affirmed growth opportunities with 3 new mines they would like to begin work on in 2017. Earnings were not impressive by any means, but I cannot understand the 22% drop over them (although silver being down $.70 today will not help). Could I get your comments please.

Q: McEwen Mining has fallen like a stone from $5.80 to $4.20 within a month. Is this common among smaller gold companies or just weakness due to pending US interest rate rises? I like the high insider ownership and potential of this 1company. Would you buy it at this price and can you recommend another similar-sized gold company?
Thanks.
