Q: Hi 5i Team,

I read an article on Seeking Alpha today recommending a play on gold and silver via a closed-end fund called Central Fund of Canada (CEF). It is supposed to be trading at a 5% discount and that is meant to be unusual (but it happens from time to time).

Any time someone writes about "free" money I am suspicious. Do you have any comments about this investment alternative? The article is here: http://seekingalpha.com/article/2310905-how-to-get-a-big-discount-on-gold?ifp=0

Thanks again for your great service.

Michael

Q: Hi team,
With the recent turmoil in the Middle East,and inflation numbers above 2%,the price of GOLD has been acting better over the last three weeks.
Consequently I,ve noticed the volume doubling on SAS Goldfields shares and it's share price appreciating 20% over the last two weeks. Technically GOLD is seasonally strong in the summer, and my dilemma is knowing WHEN to sell .I am up 8% on SAS and keeping a very close eye .....what do you suggest?
Thanks a Million

Q: Hi team, I held on to 100 shares of OSK, but now I have 7 AEM, 26 YRI and 10 OR due to the deal, they are in an RSP account with a less than 1% weighting in each but they are amongst 14 other dividend paying stocks with a 4-8% weighting. I also hold 80 shares of G that I was hoping would take OSK. What would you suggest. Thanks, Nick

Q: LSG
Lakeshore Gold seems to have been a "tomorrow" company for a great many yesterdays but is now producing reasonable cashflow, repaying debt and is holding good future development sites. Has tomorrow finally come? Any suggestions on how to establish a share value?

Q: I was wondering if you could comment on the value you see in Or. I'm not sure if I completely understand what this stock is all about. Would it be considered to be as risky and volatile as many gold stocks? Will it move up and down in step with other major gold stocks? Thank you.
