Q: A question was recently asked about whether gold has finished its run and you said no. I don’t think I have ever owned anything related to gold and i don’t know much about it. But, if it has more runway and we face a bit of an uncertain future, it may be time to test the water. I imagine some kind of etf, either US or Cdn would fit best. What would you suggest on each side of the border for someone in my position
Thanks for great advice

Q: What is your opinion on whether or not Foran is worth investing in?
I see that Mark Carney has included Foran's McIlvenna Bay copper mine project in his recent announcement of five major projects he would like to see crossing the finish line. Any idea what this might mean?
I also see that Foran has been approved to earn up to C$70 Million in Transferrable Royalty Tax Credits from the Government of Saskatchewan.

Thanks as always for your expertise.

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
Could I get your opinion of ZJG ETF from BMO please ??
The large cap golds have done really well lately and my guess is that the Junior Gold space will really get it into gear moving forward.
If you have a better alternative to ZJG I would love to hear about it.
Thank you so much for your expertise. DL

Q: I recall asking here why materials stocks, namely gold, were so low. Now with gold prices rocketing I am amusing myself with the opposite worry. I am holding this etf and see that it has had a meteoric rise. Do you think that this is a still a prudent investment or is there a better way to manage my materials exposure? Is gold unnecessarily high right now?

Q: I've held MDI for some time (years) - thinking when gold and metals market move higher {which they have done) , MDI would be a leveraged 'picks and shovels' way to play the sector. That has not occurred, and recent quarterly results seem underwhelming to me. Your thoughts on both the results and my strategy.

Note: A couple of years ago I added AEM/NTR to bolster my materials weightings so do not need MDI in my portfolio to cover material sector.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and great service.

Q: It looks like Gold has broken out of $3500 level and Gold equities, rising for 3-4 weeks straight, might be due for a consolidation soon. Do you agree ?

We have a small 1% weight in the sector through AEM and wish to increase our exposure. Have we already missed the boat ?

Would it be worthwhile to wait for a consolidation and or just start adding at current levels.

If you believe, there could be consolidation due in the near term, what levels, you think, AEM could trade ?

Thank You

Q: I was half way to building a recent position in TECK with an average cost in the mid $40's. With the offer on the table, if it was you, would you sell TECK and purchase Capstone or hold for better offers? In the past you have leaned more toward Capstone in the copper space, are you still positive on Capstone?

Q: Can you please provide your six favourite gold/precious metal stocks? Two large, established producers, two small and fast growing producers and two speculative companies that are more exploration but showing strong potential. Would DNG also have any appeal as a different way to play gold?

Q: It is a general rule that the day a stock goes ex-dividend there is a corresponding drop in the stock price .....Could 5i tell me the movement of GDXY the day it went ex-dividend for the last four dividend payments ? I didn't notice any movement myself that I could attribute to the security going ex-dividend but I wasn't watching closely ..... Also if there was movement what was the average recovery time for the ETF to return to the pre ex-dividend price or better ? Please tie your calculations to a corresponding rise or drop of the price of gold at the time of the events ? .... Thanks for your terrific service ! .....
