Q: Hi guys as always thank you for all you do for us. I am putting together a Gold Silver portfolio 5 or 6 positions max cash in $50K.1Streaming firm if 5 and 2 if I go 6 positions for a minimum 36 months maybe 48 months. Gold firms I'm considering AEM,DGC RIC,RGL, AR. Timing is not great. I can go in over next couple of months or do I go whole hog on a pull back day or two? Any further recommendations?
Thanks
David

Q: Gold represents a small portion of my portfolio with only 2 holdings – Anglo Eagle Mines (AEM) and Yamana (YRI). I just sold my Yamana to take advantage of the recent bull run in gold which even 5i has stated is getting a bit “long in the tooth”. AEM seems to be your favorite which I plan to keep, but I was looking to swap Yamana for a better name that’s higher on your list either now or on a future dip. What would be your second pick after AEM in the gold space? I’m looking for a mid or large cap that has reasonable leverage to gold but still a strong balance sheet to reasonably withstand any future drops in the price of gold. As an aside, for a person holding only two names would you recommend that one of them be an ETF for instant diversification? or even a bullion fund if perhaps the recent run has put the rise in the miners too far above the bullion price?

Q: I have a question about XGD. I believe you like this fund and I've been keeping an eye on it, with a view to purchase. It keeps going up and I haven't had to guts to purchase. I have this feeling that once I purchase it, the downward trend begins! What is your view of the current price and when the party might stop?

Q: I just read your blog of June 11th on lithium and I cannot find Rockwood Holdings you are talking about. Is it a public company ?
What do you think of Albermarle (alb)relative to FMC ? Do you see any good alternative at this time ?

Many thanks,

Jacques

Q: I noted your reply today about gold going forward with reference to a BTO question. ie; " 4Q is usually in fact better for gold stocks. BTO we like as a company, but the gold rally we think may be getting a bit long in the tooth. With no inflation and the US dollar looking better...".
Does the same apply to a gold company like Roxgold with it's recent start up of the Yaramoko gold mine? It has had a good run. Would you reccommend to hold or sell a bit?
Thanks 5i

Q: Hi 5i. I just read an article at pbs.org about the growing monetary bubble and its eventual unwinding which is supposedly inevitable given the unprecedented level of money creation in the world that is going on. What is your take on the subject? Do you agree that a day of reckoning is inevitable, and what would it look like? Doesn't Econ 101 say we should be seeing escalating inflation if this is the case? What would be the best defence to protect savings in a bad scenario?

Deduct questions as you see fit. Thanks!
