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: 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: 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, 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: As a followup to my CRJ.TO question (and thx), are you suggesting that Claude's stock price moving forward is limited/tied to the SSO price due to the upcoming acquisition, and to simply steer clear? I was actually unaware of SSO's interest in the company. If so, is there another smaller gold miner worth considering in its place vs FR. Thanks again for the heads up. Ron
