Q: I own the ETF CGL.C and AEM and just wondering if I really need to own CGL.C.?Looking at the history of this ETF it has not done too much in return and wonder if it would be better to just sell CGL.C and put the proceed into AEM as my weight is not very high in AEM. Both are in a non -registered account. Your thoughts?
Thanks

Q: I currently hold very little gold exposure and would like your recommendation on what to buy to establish a full position. Also are there two or 3 junior mining companies on your radar for a small "exploratory" position? Thanks very much.

Q: I had been using BTO as a stock to swing trade and sometimes day trade based on the swings in gold. I have done well with this strategy but after the most recent quarter have lost some confidence in this stock. I am looking for a replacement. Can you please recommend 2 gold stocks that meet my criteria: sufficient liquidity for me to easily move in and out of $80k positions, solid overall financial and production metrics and solid enough overall that if I need to hold the position for a few months I can be comfortable knowing I have a solid company. I have no current gold exposure.

Q: Hi,
could I get your take on the latest quarterly release please for AEM? There were a lot of charges/impairment loses which I find complicates things when trying to determine how the company business is doing.
Fundamentally, was this is positive quarter? Also, what caused such a large impairment loss? I see they reduced the goodwill on 3 mines. Does this mean they paid to much for these in the past?
Thanks,
Dan

Q: FNV, KL and AEM appear to be your current favorites in the gold sector based on recent responses. (Feel free to correct this.)
I have AEM and am trying to decide whether to add a bit more or sell it and get something else. The risk-reward calculus of FNV as a royalty co looks pretty attractive. Would you switch? Which of the three is your favourite overall?
Thanks!

Q: Hi, My question is about NR stocks held in the model portfolios. I have created a custom stock universe using all stocks from your coverage list with a rating of B- and higher, plus all NR stocks from the Balance and growth model portfolios. I built a balanced 25 stock portfolio from the universe(all full positions). I have full positions in CLS and TECK.B, You have 1/2 positions in the Balanced port. You also had 1/2 position in RHT. I know RHT was risky for several reasons and AEM, CLS, TECK.b is for diversification? or is there high cyclical risk? For NR stocks i'm not sure how to decide full, half or exclude them. All stocks have different levels and types of risk. Is there a way to mention or grade the risk level and type of risk when adding NR stocks to a port? For example the new additions to the growth port. I assume GDI is lower risk then LGO? Can I consider full positions? I'm just trying to avoid accidentally having a full position in a very high risk NR stock.
Thank you so much!
