Q: Peter and Team: I have no materials stocks so I've been comparing the ETF's XMA.T and XLB.US. The latter has been going up since 2009 while XMA recovered from 08/09, peaked in 2010/2011 and tanked thereafter. I assume that is due to the heavy weighting of gold, silver and other mining stocks in XMA, which in XLB is replaced (in part) by various chemical production and chem engineering stocks. A recovery in XLA therefore depends very much on gold and other mining, while XLB is growing nicely. Thus I'm thinking XLB over XMA. I'd appreciate your opinion.

Q: Peter and Team
With so many others I thank you for your excellent service...I continue to act as your marketing-ambassador and encourage others to subscribe to 5i.
We all know that gold is out of favor ...we all know that sectors are cyclical...If one has the courage to buy when stocks are low and out of favor good rewards can result. Of course you still need to research your choice within the sector to ensure that your stock survives until prices improve. I know Goldcorp is your large cap choice ...however if you had to chose a junior which of these ...HARMONY, WESDOME, ALACER...do you think has the least risk and will be in the best position when the price of gold improves to profitable levels?
Thanks for your insights..

Q: I have been watching the base metals very closely lately, particularly XBM and ZMT, and think they could be ready for at least a short term gain. They have been down so long that, if I am right, there could be substantial upside. Would you agree?

Q: ptq
How long do cease trade order normally last once a company files the paper work they were missing (ie is the bureaucracy at BCSC pretty quick?)
Looks like PTQ had a cease trade order implemented on Friday (after close?) due to late filing of their quarter documents.

Current thoughts on the company?

Q: Peter and Team,

Any thoughts on Pretium Resources' recent results. Looks pretty explosive in a good way. I've stayed away because I was scared of an over-promise/under-deliver situation with their extremely high-grade Valley of the Kings. The latest results make me wonder if I should be moving money from some other gold plays to this.

Your thoughts?
