Q: In a recent response to Carla on purchasing gold stocks, you suggested the purchase of 3 stocks to fill her position. That would suggest to me that I would require 60 stocks for a portfolio. I am trying to square this answer with earlier advice that portfolios need only have 20 - 25 names. Did you suggest 3 names because gold is a particularly volatile sector, or that current market conditions require much more diversification than "normal" or is there perhaps some other reason.

Apprciate your insight.

Q: I don't own any gold stocks but am thinking of adding them as insurance. I would buy a bit each month for the next few months. Goldcorp seems to be the worst of them performance wise? Would you still suggest this is the one I buy or would you prefer Agnico or FNV? I was thinking about putting 5% of my portfolio in it. Which stocks should I choose and what percentage of this 5% should each be? Or is one enough? Is gold better in a TFSA, RRSP or non-registered?

Q: up 14 % again yesterday. Dundee has a 1.30 price target. Anything different 5 i sees? Gold seems to be moving a bit and CRJ has vastly outperformed the gold sector and seems to have a new very shareholder friendly management.

Thx

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
Just wondering if you might be able to shed some light on the tumble of FCV`s share price after offering what seemed to be a positive Prefeasibility Study for the Bayovar 12 Phosphate Project. Talk about selling on news … the price is down over 30% today. Can`t seem to find anything to substantiate this. Thanks, Rick.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
A recent guest on BNN touted this stock saying it was priced so low that the stock price was covered with working capital, you are getting the mine for nothing and it has cash and no debt -All sounds good but Globeinvest says trailing P/E is 12.39 and forward P/E is 138.90.- how can this be ? Why would anyone recommend it if that forward P/E is correct? How do you view safety of dividend and how do you feel about initiating a small position. Thanks for all you do and Happy Nee Year

Q: What are your thoughts on the recent financing? I have heard it stated that it is an unwelcome development because the 20% Chinese ownership and 2 Board seats will give them an effective veto over a possible buyout and limit the upside. On the other hand, they will have enough money for several years of drilling, and possibly minimized dilution as much as possible, given the state of the uranium market. Would you buy at this price? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and Team;
My attention was brought to PTM by a video on BNN. Production is anticipated to commence in Q1 2016. I am thinking it might be an opportunity to buy now. I note there are 768.9M shares outstanding. It would be great to hear the current opinion of this company.

Q: With all the "green" power talk, I am considering an investment in nuclear power. Would you opt for a uranium miner or a nuclear power producer? What are your top dividend-paying Canadian picks in each category? Is it still a little too early for this? Do you see a better future in other sources like wind or solar v nuclear? I already hold some NG producers, which I intend to keep.
Thank-you

Q: 11:49 AM 12/21/2015
Hello 5i
I manage my adult son's RRSP. We have a 10% position in FNV that is up 320% from when he purchased it and have no intention of selling it at all.
We also have a 2% position in Goldcorp down 52% and a 2% position in Premier Gold down 56% from purchase.
We like all three companies and think they have good prospects. However we want to reduce the gold holdings a bit and wonder if we should just sell one of G or PG, or maybe sell both G and PG.
1. Which would you sell if you wanted to sell just one?
2. Would you advise selling both and just keeping the FNV?
Thank you..........Paul K
