Q: H 5i, my question is regarding HBM. i have noticed that more investors have been asking about zinc lately. one inquiry you had wanted to know if a good zinc producer existed. you went on to recommend TV. i very much believe that zinc will be a great story this year and for the next few years. so as a hobby investor i researched the best i could for good zinc stocks and as you know they are very few and far between. it seems that TV would be a good place to be but i found that HBM might be as good .it appears that they have some serious zinc production soon to be developed. can i have your thoughts on HBM ? pros and cons, can management deliver ? my thinking is TV will most likely be bought out before the zinc story unfolds whereas HBM has less probability of being taken out. thanx norm
Q: Thank you so very much for your answer to my question re zinc producers. I have decided to take a wait and see as TV doesn't make money, nor does CZN and I try to be an investor, not a speculator. TCK certainly does have some good fundamentals, at least to my neophyte eyes. But a major part of their operations is coal, which has been on a downtrend since July of '11 and show no signs of abating. TCK.A looks to be trying to base and may present a "buy" signal soon.
Q: It looks to me like the industrial metals could be ready for a pop. Aluminum is on an upward swing and zinc has higher highs and higher lows. Copper is in a triangle pattern on the weekly charts so school's still out on that. But my question is, are there any zinc producers you like for a small position?
Q: Any thoughts on AQARF? Are management OK and does the back fourty target have any potential? Hudbay spent quite a bit of money developing the project but then dropped out. Is there any substance to managements claim that the target has 900,000 ounces Au? I understand the risks.

I am a holder of OSK Osisko at higher purchase price and have been waiting for the dust to settle on Goldcorp offer. Do you see any more upside or would it be best to sell now. Not interested in owning Goldcorp. Your advice is always appreciated.
Q: ZEN.V
Hi 5i, Notice Peter commented on this company in April last year. With the news out today from IBM R&D on a graphene chip 10,000 faster then a silicon one, and realizing this is still very, very early and a PEA due out from the company in the near future, if you guys had any thoughts on what might be a catalyst for an investment decision, specifically for this company and also more generally for smaller / start up type corporations.

Q: I found Virginia Mines VGQ on the "new highs" list a month ago.
Bought a small amount and would like to buy more. Has it moved
too fast and is now too expensive?
Q: Gold stocks currently account for slightly less than 2% of my stocks and cash. Of the golds, GoldCorp (G) is ~50%, Virginia (VGQ) is ~25%, Kinross (K), Scorpio (SGN) and Barrick (ABX) make up the remainder. I am thinking of selling K and ABX and buying B2Gold (BTO) and possibly some Alamos and Argonaut (AR). Does this make sense to you? If not can you provide some alternate ideas? You can see I am not making changes to SGN. Is this wise? Also do you think that 2% gold exposure is too low for maximum portfolio returns over the next couple of years? Thank you. I appreciate and value your comments.
