Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Can you give an update on TLO? It has been on a steady decline for the past year. Could you speculate on the reasons for the fall? They have had some recent positive news. You had previously mentioned it had some big backers, so I wonder if those backers are still holding. Wondering if it is time to cut this loose or wait for a rebound when central banks cut rates.

Q: Hi 5i Team - Argonaut Gold has announced that it has just completed a Follow-on-Equity Offering of CAD $80 million. Is this a positive for the company or is the further dilution a reason to sell and move on to something else. There are already over a billion shares, and I am assuming this is before the recent offering. Do you think the market has already priced in this further dilution. Also what does 'Follow-on-Equity' mean.
Thanks.

Q: I'm trying to understand why HURA has outperformed URA by almost 20% this year. Holdings like Cameco and the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust Fund that have moved alot seem to have relatively similar weightings in both funds. NAK Kazatomprom AO - GDR hasn't had as strong returns YTD and is actually overweighted in HURA vs. URA. I don't think the USD-CAD has had any major impacts on the returns this year. What am I missing?

Also I think Cameco has had exceptional returns in 2023 far outpacing the ETF, do you think the others will catch up over time?

Q: I have two questions. Gold value is now above $2000 US and AEM does not seem to correlate the price of gold, is there a reason for that? I have heard about Cohere (https://cohere.com/), a language AI company based in Toronto, their list of investors is quite impressive (NVDA, SalesForce, Oracle, etc,). Do you think this company could be listed on the TSX in the near future? Thank you

Q: REEMF This is about Rare Element Resources. I'm trying to understand why a company would price a future rights offering to shareholders (as of the close of the business day on Dec. 15) so far below the current stock price. The rights offering allows shareholders to buy 1.4 shares at 12 cents for each share they hold as of record date Dec. 15. The stock price has fallen by 50% in the last 5 days, that is, from about 45 cents to 20 cents. Can you shed some light on this? Thanks.

Q: Is it not unusual -and risky for the investor- that a royalty firm (FNV) get more than 20% of their revenues from a single company (FM)?
I guess we have to do our homework and not rely on reputation only. Merci.

Q: Hello 5i,

I generally use the Q/A database to investigate your research on specific stocks. For the first time, there is a Canadian company with no submitted public questions. (Abcourt Mines). A log established but small GOLD producer. I have owned the company in the past and am now considering establishing a very small position. Mostly because GOLD appears to be breaking out. I am thinking a short term (1 -3 years). Can you comment on the company, it's fundamentals and any other comment sthat you think are relevant. Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i,

GOLD is now reaching (or exceeding) an all time high in $US. I wonder if you could comment on the sector. Could the recent rise be partially due to uncertainty (2 wars, a pandemic, global warming concerns, inflation, etc.). Could it also be due to increased demand by the Commonwealth Mints to respond to the minting of coins for the new monarch. Any comments on the breakout from a technical analysis would be handy as well. Feel free to deduct a few question credits as I have asked a few questions in this note.

Q: Gold above $2050 would be bullish I think. Wondering what your thoughts are on this asset category at this time and looking for your top two large and small cap picks that would have torque to a higher gold price.

Also a comment on the dividend sustainability of B2 would be appreciated.

Thanks folks
