Q: Hi, I want to invest 5% of my portfolio in the precious metals sector. My current exposure is MND and HEP. To complement these, I am thinking of addind MMP.UN for diversification and income within the sector. I realize that it is invested in junior companies, therefore risky, but do you think this segment of the market has hope, and what do you think of this particular product? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: My question is on Ivanhoe Mines (IVN). This is my speculative holding in my portfolio. My concern is with how the market is reacting to the share issue. I want to know if I am missing anything or making a mistake on this name as anyone following the story should know there is a massive amount of capital they need to raise to buld their projects (ie Dilution). Lastly, should it be viewed as a positive this issue and the previous one in Oct 2013 Robert Friedland subscribed to $25 million each time.
Thanks

Q: Hello Peter and 5i, Just been looking at the chart for ZMT. When every advisor on the planet is telling everyone to stay away from the base metals materials sector, why has this ticker done so well the past year. Is this an example of the big money buying stuff early so they can sell it to the street in a year or so?

Q: I got lucky and sold 1/2 my position in Fission (FCU) around $1.60. Have been watching it come down and am considering picking up some more. I don't see any bad news (just lack of news and a dropping uranium price). Am I missing something, i feel this is a fabulous future mine which will be bought out by one of the big players. I don't see how uranium can't be a good investment looking out a couple years. Thanks

Q: This is not a question about AVO! (however I did buy some today).

I have some more questions on SWC.U.

May I have your thoughts on the latest quarterly report - any danger signs there? How do you interpret the drop in management expenses? Are the grades and reserves OK?

What does it mean when a stock symbol ends with ".U"? What is a "diluted share"?

Is this stock highly speculative? I would need to reduce an overweigh position in LIF to purchase SWC.U. Does that make sense? (I wouldn't be comfortable with a weighting purchase greater than 2%.)

I know I have asked alot of questions so I don't expect an immediate answer.

I have just made a donation to your charity event and I encourage other members to do so. Bicycling in the mountains eh... One of the few events (stocks) where riding it to the bottom is more fun than the climb to the top - unless you blow a tire - so slow down!
