Q: I currently own G in a non-RRSP and it is the only gold stock that I own. Would you recommend a sale on this stock for tax loss purposes that can be off set with a capital gain of another stock? Would you be a buyer of any gold stock at this time?

Thanks

Q: I’m a bit surprised by your sell recommendation for Teck. A recent question by someone that had Teck in their RSP and wondered if they should sell, was answered with one word – “Yes”. I think they deserved a better answer.

You have earlier recommended Teck and I note that another advisory said back in August that Teck has a tangible book value of $29.59 a share. It’s Canada’s largest diversified resource company. Not just “evil” coal!

You’ve given excellent answers in the past re Teck and it wasn’t more than a month ago that you were suggesting patience. Maybe you can let us know what you’re reading for book value etc.

I recall buying Teck in 2008 at $3.40 per share. In 2011 it was trading at over $60.00 per share.

Patience grasshopper ;-)

Q: H Peter,

I've owned 2 funds for near a decade and both are down approx 50%. One is Sprott Canadian Equity and the other is AGF PRECIOUS METALS FUND (333)
AGF333

I've been patient and because I know that you know more about these than I do, I am asking you what would you do if you held both of these funds. Would you hold or sell?

Please advise

Thank you

Q: I bought a small position in EDR (Endeavour) about 5 years ago and am currently under water about 35%. My intention was to hold on to it till prices improve as the company seems to have a reasonable balance sheet. However,I noted this morning that the company intends to sell $16.5M in shares at market price. Would you comment on this. Is this a reasonable move for the company or will it ultimately just dilute the pot. Thanks.

Q: I am on a huge loss with Teck. it is now one half percent of my holdings. My cost is 28 per share. I do not have much other exposure to mining besides some gold fund. My question is , I would like to book a capital loss but keep some exposure to the sector. Would be FM a good candidate? Or should I be better off to exit the sector altogether?
Thank you.

Q: Hello- is DBC one of those ETFS based on commodity futures which will erode in value even given steady commodity prices, if held for more than a month or two?
Is there another Commodity ETF which you can suggest which can be held for a year or more without this erosion? Does one need to buy a commodity stock based ETF? Any recommendations in Canada and the US?
Thanks
