Q: I currently a small amount of GDX and GLD. I would like to increase my gold holdings a bit. Is there a stock you recommend? I am wondering about ABX or GOLD, if you like those, and is GOLD better than the CAD ABX? Or do you prefer another gold stock?
Also, is this a good time to buy silver? If so, would you recommend a stock or an ETF, CAD or US? Thank you.

Q: I have exposure to gold in the above companies. I'd appreciate any comments you may have in regards to whether to dump or hold, and which gold companies may provide a good alternative at present. I'm thinking some consolidation might be a good idea (too many positions). Thanks.

Q: I hear that Barrick Gold might be interested in purchasing a gold company in Canada which produces at least 500,000 ounces of gold yearly. Do you think that Kirkland Lake Gold might be a candidate for a takeover by Barrick Gold? KL seems to fill all of Barrick's requirements. What are your feelings on such a takeover? Tnx

Q: RBC has down graded ABX mostly because of concerns with the Acacia mine in Tanzania. I would like to increase my investment in ABX, as I think the market may be turning to the gold sector for safety in these turbulent times. How concerned should I be about the RBC report? Do you agree? In past comments you have favoured/suggested alternative gold companies, do you have a preference today? ABX is my only gold holding...………..Thankyou, Lionel

Q: Happy Thanksgiving to All! I am doing a little portfolio clean up. These are the names I am considering selling: Atco (ACO), Barrick (ABX), Census (CVE), Stantec (STN). Are any still worth holding? Why? Can you offer replacement ideas within the same sector? I am about a decade from retirement and prefer stocks with a (growing) dividend, and also have potential for price appreciation. I have a buy and hold investment style.
