Q: May I have your thoughts on the USA’s debt ceiling? There is speculation in the press that the most conservative elements (called the “Freedom Caucus”) inside the Republican Party will refuse to raise the debt ceiling without drastic cuts to the country’s chronic budget deficit. In a worse case scenario an impasse will cause government bonds to default. The caucus is quite small but seems to have a large influence over the Republican Party due to its very slender majority in the House Of Representatives. I will need to take some money out of my RRIF this year not covered by the RRIF’s dividend income. Do you think I should be selling stock now or to put it another way will a government bond default is simply not realistic? After all it would take only about 10 Republicans to vote with the Democrats to raise the debt ceiling.

A bond rate spike is typically bad for gold prices but in this case might be positive for gold. Do you agree?

Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Jim

Q: Hi 5i Team - Trading in Sierra Madre Gold and Silver (SM - V) has been halted for many months now, starting around the time they made an announcement regarding an acquisition I think. Would you be able to find out why the long trading halt and if there is a chance of trading resuming sometime in the near future. Any other information such as insider holdings/trading, the status of the balance sheet, newsworthy projects, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
