Q: What after your top growth picks for base metals? Copper? Uranium? Do these have legs and will they follow the rally that silver and gold are on? How would you rank the commodities? Thanks! Only holding AEM and PHYS currently.

Q: Let’s say you’ve done well on gold, with a combination of miner (AEM, WPM) and bullion exposure (PHYS).
You see that gold has had a “parabolic” rise as 5i mentioned in a recent response. But still believe in the story and want to retain gold exposure.
You’re comfortable with position sizing.
With where the market is today, would you do nothing (keep a roughly 50/50 miner/bullion split) or move to overweight bullion to lock in some gains (on the theory that miners are leveraged to the downside as well as upside so if gold drops the miners would drop harder)?

Q: Good afternoon,

I feel that I have constructed a well balanced equity portfolio of between 20-25 stocks, thanks in large part to you and your team.

I have identified the following as core positions, where each one represents between a 3-5% weighting:

RY
GWL
ENB
FTS
AEM
BN
NVDA
GOOG
AMZN

I know that there could be many additions to this list. But assuming I hold my "top picks" to these names, do you have any immediate concerns?

Thanks as always.

Q: What are the technical charts telling about Gold and Precious Metals?

Do you think, the Gold prices and sector pull back/consolidation has run its course and Gold miners are showing signs of support for its way higher ?

If one had a 3.5% weight, would you add at current levels to bring it up to a 5% position in AEM/XGD ?

Thank You

Q: Similarly to the question asked by David regarding your Income portfolio, for B-E portfolio, what would be your top 10 stocks in the order you would buy. Based on anticipated total return (dividends + stock price increase) for the next five years expectations. I would also appreciate if you could add to these stocks your return expectations and risk ratios on the scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being highest. Thanks.

Q: The way things look right now, it is difficult to see how energy and materials (mining) won’t play a major role in keeping Canada afloat. It seems we have things the world needs/wants if we can get over our distaste for being prosperous. I’m wondering if you can suggest some “pick and shovel” plays in the space generally?
