Investment Q&A

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Many thanks for answering my question on Gold . Much appreciated.

This is along the same lines about Silver. I reviewed Q&A on Gold/Silver sub topic and I see that Christopher on September 03 2025 had asked this same question and . This is a follow up question to clarify simple things.

At this stage of the cycle, Gold Vs Silver ratio, would you prefer physical Silver(PSLV/SVR) or stocks?

Are the stocks that you picked for Christopher on that day, is it in the order of your preference/importance?

Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i, What are your thoughts on silver vs gold at this time? Looks like silver has lagged gold, not sure what the historical difference is. I also feel if this onshoring, electrification theme continues then silver might start to run, more than it has. Please provide a few Canadian etfs and stocks you think might participate. Lastly, gold, does it have room to continue to run as it appears a devaluation of the greenback is likely to continue. Thx.

Q: Can you identify 10 US or CAN companies, currently profitable or approaching profitability, that you project will achieve a compound annual sales growth of at least 20% over the next decade?

Q: what is your opinion of this company

Q: As a follow up, I believe SSRM has had a big landslide. Is it still OK to hold or would you swap it for ABX or PAAS?

Q: My allotment to precious metals is now down below my target of 5%. I need to add to bring up this part of my portfolio. I have a full position in AEM. Which of PAAS, SSRM, BTO, KRR or FNV should I add to at this time? Or do you have another precious metal company that would be appropriate at this time?

Q: Why, in your estimation, did the street receive SSRM's recent quarter so unfavourably?
Thanks, Hugh

Q: Do you like gold during these times, especially with global geopolitical tensions. What are your 3 high risk/reward plays?

Q: Your thoughts on today’s earnings, please. There were some positives (dividend) but 2021 production projections appear to be somewhat light compared to Q4 and the market was not impressed. Is SSRM attractive at today’s price?

Q: Good morning, I hold ASR, AEM and BTO. I am looking to add one more gold name. Also, would you keep ASR as it transitions into SSR? Please provide me your top two mid-cap gold names.
Rob

Q: What is your opinion of this deal. I currently own Glacier gold

Q: Thanks for your earlier response. Would yu kow how many shares of SSRM will owners of GRG get? Is it worth holding GRG.V.....why the huge drop of 15% ?!
Thx!

Q: I am under water with SSRM. Worth selling and buying TV? If not TV, any suggestions?

Q: Given the relatively flat prices in gold and silver recently, how would you assess SSR mining (SSRM) ?

Q: Which 2 of these silver miners do you perfer? Would it be better just to buy CEF.A or SVR and forget about the miners?

Q: Can I have your view on this company? Do you have any better silver company to invest or trade ? Thanks,


Cindy

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: Hi 5i team:
You chose Endeavour and Great Panther Silver for the question posed by David.
Now that the dust has settled (?) with SSO's acquisition, any thoughts about it?
Worth adding to existing position or simply leave it alone? I am down about 10% or so.

Q: Hi, further to my previous question, I was told by BMO investorline that for those who did not choose prior to closing of the deal will have to wait 2 or more weeks for sso to finalize on the share exchange or cash based on majority vote. I am not sure how much would that be? Would appreciate your clarification .Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i team, what happened to crj? if own, what to do with it?
