Q: Everyone, I only own the best of the best stocks and for the majority of those stocks I have held for more than ten years. So for weeks like this I just tune out the noise and sit tight. Much easier on the mind. Clayton

Q: I read with interest your answers to Alex and Robert this morning regarding SLVO and David Rosenberg's thoughts. I have a great deal of respect for Mr. Rosenberg . Does 5i feel that SLVO would roughly track the gold index ? I do not see any covered call gold equivalent ETF unless you know of one ? The closest I can find is AMAX which is gold miners ..... Having said all that which does 5i feel is the better choice to follow Mr Rosenbergs thesis ? SLVO or AMAX ? I do like the covered call component of both over a straight up Gold security like PHYS ..... Thanks for your terrific service .......

Q: Question on increasing my copper exposure:

I already own some TECK.B, but concerned about the (approx.) 26X PE ratio. Does this concern you?

I'm considering COPX. Yes, comparing an ETF to a stock is a bit apples / oranges. If I believe that International stocks in general will outperform going forward, is this a good choice. I do realize it does have some North American holdings - including TECK.B itself - but the aggregate PE appears to be better value compared just TECK.B.

Perhaps selling TECK.B and just holding all of COPX is a better choice despite the (I think) 0.65 MER. Your thoughts and comments on all this ?

Q: Hello 5i team,
I currently have a balanced position in HBND in my TFSA for income (Using TFSA as an income source in general). Before HBND I used to have HYI as an asset class that used to track US high yield bonds, but was shut down last year. I have a few questions.

1)Is HBND an approximate substitute for HYI for this asset class?
2)Also HBND is not even a year old but do you have an idea of the NAV of the ETF?

HBND pays a decent amount monthly but I am not sure of the sustainability of the payout.


Thank You,
Andrew

Q: SLVO, a CC silver ETN, does not seem to be in your database. I am looking to add this to my precious metal holdings but want the higher income. Yahoo reports the yield at 22%, which seems absurd. Do you have data on longer term avg yield and what do you think of this in general for income oriented silver exposure? Thank-you.
