Q: Any thoughts about these companies? I know these are not in your favourite Gold stocks list. But from a bounce point of view, worth taking a risk?
Especially in view of "obscene" payment to the CEO of ELD which has drained investors'' money and confidence!! If it leads to changes in the company, is it possible to expect some bounce in the stock price?
Q: I own ALO, MUX,AGI,FNV,KL,
I want to sell two or three of what you may consider to be the least likely to perform well in the short term (1 year).
As always thank you. Wishing you all a peaceful Christmas & Holiday Season.
Q: Thank you for your help regarding historical valuations of young davidsons mine which was taken over by Alamos gold. Thanks to you we were able to get the stock certificates issued in my mother-in-laws name. Now she wants to sell the certificates and I need to determine the value my father-in-law paid for the original 1000 shares of young Davidson's mine August 24 1984. Can you help?
I love the new web site and please extend my thanks Lana for suggesting using Chrome to fix my issues accessing the site on the iPad.

Q: Both RIC and AGI reported record production this morning. Can you please comment on both and what is the cost per oz. for AGI. Will the merger likely happen? Thanks
Q: I bought some AGI on the big drop yesterday. Would it be better to sell it and replace it with RIC in case they get a better offer. Also can you explain the big drop, did they pay too much for it. If the deal does complete, what do you think of AGI then?
Q: Further to the discussion of AGI's takeover of RIC: if it's a friendly takeover and announced as a 'definitive agreement', how will other offers make any difference?
Q: I have been holding for 3 years Direxion Gold Miner BullX3 (nugt-n) (long before I discovered 5i Research) hoping for a recovery in the price of gold. It is about 10% of my portfolio and I am 60% in the red. To balance things off, I bought Direxion Gold Miner Bear3 (dust-n) earlier this year and it amounts to 7% of my portfolio; I am now 70% in the red with it. On top of that, about 18% of my porfolio is in mining stocks I bought some 5 years ago and held while waiting for a recovery in gold prices: they are Argonaut Gold (ar-t)(60% off)Vista Gold (vgz-t)(46% off), both in my registered portfolio, and Alamos Gold (agi-t)(18% off), Endeavour Mining (edv-t)(30% off) and Silver Standard Ress. (sso-t)(30%off) in my non-registered portfolio. I don't need to create capital losses as I have a lot already.
I realize I have been foolish and that I am in a very bad fix. Is there any way out without loosing my shirt ? I am 76 years old. I am in line for a badly needed portfolio review with your team, but in the meantime, what do you think I could or should do ?
Your well informed views will be greatly appreciated.
Q: What is your opinion on Alamos now that the all-in costs exceed the price of gold? Are there any gold companies worth considering in this environment?
Q: Looks like AGI missed its fourth quarter targets and the stock has been punished because of it. Does their 2015 guidance seem reasonable even though they have missed their quarterly target a few times? Do you think its a buy at these prices? Do you think they can turn it around or will it get worse? Thanks
