Q: Materials sector in Canada or US
In my 80s and we have very little to no exposure to any companies in any of the Materials subsectors.
I know that at our age we should probably invest conservatively and consider capital retention as imperative, but the advisers we had in our early income generating years had that strategy and we missed out on massive growth.
Since becoming a member of 5i, I have become bolder and made up a little lost ground, so I have some appetite for growth, but steer clear of absolute gambles.
What would you suggest for any stocks in the materials sector, where there is a moderate dividend, but ample room for growth?

Q: The price of Gold reversed today after touching an all time high of $3500 and closed lower, below $3400, in Tuesday's session. Gold miners also followed suit and reversed course mid day to close lower, after opening higher at the open. Do you think, this price action is important from technical perspective and signalling a near term Top for Gold ?

Today's comments from the US Treasury Secretary appear to have triggered a relief rally in equity markets and perhaps was one of the reasons, Gold/Gold equities ( safe haven) performed poorly.

Are you concerned with this price action and would recommend cutting Gold exposure ?

Thank You

Q: Hi,

We could very well be heading into stagflation, which I understand to be slowing or negative growth, high unemployment, weak demand and rising inflation.

In such a scenario, which would be the best stocks or ETFs to favour ?

Many thanks,

Jacques IDS

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Across all portfolios, we are under-represented in the gold sector, having only a small holding in the CGL.C ETF,

If investing today, in what order would you put new money into the three stocks AEM, FNV, and WPM, or is there a case to be made to invest equal amounts in all three, assuming there's no significant overlap?

As always, thanks for your assistance in making an informed decision.

Q: I am opening a TFSA and would like to transfer some of my holdings to that account, which I know I have in my RRSP (sell and re-purchase). My thinking is holding the items which offer more growth potential. Is this a good argument in deciding where to hold various holdings? From the following names, which would you think make more sense to hold in my TFSA than in my RRSP?
AEM, ATZ, BN, DSG, GSY, LMN, SHOP, TRP, TRI, WSP, TOI
