Investment Q&A

Q: The price of Platinium has come off the lows of about $900. Is it worth holding PTM right now or switch to another in the precious metals space? What do you think of platinium vs the other precious metals for 2017?

Q: Good Afternoon 5i

Price action definitely heading back up in last few trading days. Momentum/Volume sharply again today. New feasibility study expected in January with increased resource base considered. Any comments on increased SP and Volume? 2017 looks like a year of strong possibilities. What should I look for in assessing NR feasibility study when it is releasing.

Thanks as always for your valued comments.

Randy

Thank you

Q: Would it be best to buy both of these stocks or you still prefer to just own CS? Do you think this sector still in play or has the money been made and better to move money in another sector? How high of a risk rating would you give these 2 stocks?
Thanks

Q: While I loath owning material stocks given the geopolitical, operational and commodity price exposure, I see AEM on your portfolio has taken a beating and this might represent an entry point. Materials is a zero weighting in my portfolio at present. Time for a change of heart?

Q: I was given these recently as possible gold stock investments, I would only be investing a small amount into one or more of them and was wondering what you might be able to tell me about them. Also what are your views on what gold may do over the next year or two.

Q: I am looking to make an investment in a company that produces rare earth metals. What would you consider the best TSX listed companies in this sector. Do you think any potential trade conflict between Trump and China could have an effect on the rare earth metals market. Thanks

Q: VALE....this company is not coming up in the drop down.

Thoughts on this miner for 5+ year hold? What is current FCF, FPE and book value? What is the expected FCF and earnings growth? I currently have 2% materials weighting in my portfolio.

Q: I have no gold holdings now. What is the best way to start.

Q: WhaT do you think about Teck at these levels? Is it a good time to get in for a two year hold? Is there another company/etf you like better?

Q: GEO has been trending down the past couple of weeks. Do you see anything that would account for it? Does it still look ok as a buy considering smaller size and risk?

Q: On July 15/16 you responded to a question on what would be some good gold stocks to buy at the prices that existed then. You suggested AEM, RIC, MND, BTO, FNV, SMF for a variety of reasons depending on the company. Would these still be your choices today considering the change in gold prices and other factors. If changes should be made do you have any new suggestions. Thanks.

Q: I have been following this company for the last six months. I'm putting some faith in the fact that Keith Neumeyer (FR,FM) should know how to develop the assets. I like the fact that they picked up assets in a depressed market, and sell or strike production deal when the commodity is higher and sit on it in the meantime. However, like storage wars no one really knows what's behind garage door or in this case under the ground. To that end the press release of December 1st speaks to drilling results of the various projects being released in early 2017. My question is: do they not have an obligation to release material findings as soon as they have it? My other question is on the strong volume last Friday of 50 Million shares being traded, about 30x the average daily volume. Does that indicate anything? Would a large buyer normally average in?

Q: Hi 5i - what do you think of Tahoe Resources going forward? I see it had a 220 million dollar unusual expense last year that hurt it's numbers. Do you know what that was for?
Thanks and Merry Christmas to the 5i team!
