Q: What are the tax implications of owing the iShares Gold Trust (IAU) in RRSP and non-RRSP accounts? Is IAU treated the same as other US ETFs for Canadians, from a tax perspective?

I recently read that the US taxes gold as a collectible, at a higher tax rate than equities. Does this apply to Canadians who own IAU?

Thank you for this excellent service.

Q: If you were looking to put on a gold trade at this time, would PHYS .TO be a good choice
It is up 38% in the past 52 weeks.
Do you see a good risk/ reward upside, in gold at this time? Or is it too late ?
Would you suggest another stock or ETF for gold exposure instead of PHYS.TO?

Q: Hi

Just wondering if you have any insight into Pan American's recent weakness. Their Q2 results looked decent with an improving margin and fairly good free cash flow. As well, the guidance provided in the MD&A remained consistent with prior guidance.

Perhaps the stock was overvalued relative to the current commodity pricing?

Thank you
