Thanks in advance for your help.

Q: With Gold doing so well right now, can you explain the sharp drop in share price for XAU over the last week. Is it worth holding or if I want more "Gold" should I sell XAU and pick another gold stock at the appropriate time?

Thanks.

Q: I own some of Sherritt bonds that matures in 2018. Would you agree that the probability of this proposal to succeed is very high? What does this mean to the chances of the company survival? Would you recommend taking the consent incentive in money or in warrants? Would it advisable to add to my holding of this bond? My holding is insignificant as a percentage of my total portfolio. Are bondholders entitled to receive the maturity value on maturity date, or would that force the company to file for protection because it might not be able to meet their obligation?

Thanks.

Q: I note that TD Securities have today recommended Teck Resources as a Buy at $15.32. The 12 month target price is $17.00 and the stock is rated as "High Risk". With all respect, it's difficult to feel comfortable with this type of recommendation.
Am I missing something?

Q: Hi Peter,
I have done well with Gold Standard (50% increase) and with the current news on Brexit, the large cap gold stocks moved much higher than gsv. Do you think it is a good time to switch to larger cap gold stocks like AEM, ABX, etc or do you think GSV is worth keeping. Thanks very much.

Q: In your opinions are the following in the best interest of shareholders and/or a conflict of interest by Nevsun Resources. On June 15, 2016 Mega Profit acquires shares of Reservoir an affiliate of (XGC)Shandong Xiangguang Group. Then, on June 17, 2016 Nevsun increases offer to buy Reservoir by $2.00 (Cash)or approximately US 75 million. Then, the Nevsun shares had gone down by about .09%, so did they over pay for Reservoir shares and is Nevsun shares a sell or hold now?

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
I manage an income oriented account which pretty much mirrors your Income Portfolio except for several higher growth, high conviction names from the Balanced Portfolio. This account still has SLW from when Silver Wheaton was part of the Income Portfolio. I would like to continue to have some precious metals exposure in this income oriented account. Is SLW still a good holding or should I switch into another precious metals name ??
Thank you for your help. DL

Q: Detour has been spoken about favourably on BNN and I've seen some "outperform" ratings. You seem not to have been too keen on it a while ago - what is your latest opinion? I am late to the gold scene, but would like to jump in to get some protection. If not DGC, what would you recommend?

Q: Lightbridge Corp (LTBR) is a US company I am following. It is in the development stage of nuclear fuel based on a uranium/thorium blend to increase the efficiency of existing nuclear reactors as well as decreasing byproducts. This is interim to the next generation reactors. It has several patents in play. I have not completed all my research on this company and have noted its share price steadily falling.
What I have done a lot of research on is the potential of nuclear energy particularly for China and India. When one is investigating a company such as this and the time frame of testing a prototype is in 2017 with plans 3 years out for full implementation, when along this path is a logical place to take a small position. Having asked this question though I am cautious and have more to learn about the company specifically.
Thanks
