Q: We never owned any Gold companies, but, looks like, some exposure is warranted, given a so much uncertainty, as a result of constantly changing rhetoric of Mr Trump and Trade/Tariffs tensions.

Do you agree ?

Is Agnico Eagle a decent name for the sector and would you be comfortable starting a new position in Agnico Eagle, after Today's drop ?

Thank You

Q: Hi 5i Team,

My expectation is that the CAD will continue to weaken based on many factors including the trade war, weak economy and continual decrease in interest rates and that there will be good opportunities in the resource sector for companies that have assets based in Canada but sell their their commodity in USD (ie companies like AEM have or CNQ). Would you agree with this thesis? If so, what other resource companies would fit this profile?

Thanks as always,
Jon

Q: Currentlly my portfolio in gold consists of 3 holdings. They are :

AEM - YTD + 20%, 1 YR + 90%

NUGT - YTD + 34% 1YR + 67%

WGX - YTD - 8% N/A

As you can see the weed in the portfolio is wgx.

Question to you is when I prune WGX out of the portfolio should I just put that money into the other 2 holdings or should I add a third that is an elite performer.

What would be the best from a portfolio management perspective and if you decided to add a third what would it be?

Sheldon

PS Don't worry about NUGT I know the ins and out and have made lots of money on these leveraged ETF's like NUGT, QLD, NAIL, etc

Thanks

Q: I'm looking for suggestions for stocks or ETFs that would benefit from increased investment in the north (either infrastructure-, defense- or resource-related). Do you have any suggestions of opportunities that warrant further investigation for a 'northern/artic play'? I can't help but feel that all the talk south of the border about Greenland, Canadian resources, etc. that someone will be spending substantially more in the north over the next 4 years...

Q: Hi Peter…would you be buying safe jurisdiction gold miners now? The price of the metal, to my layman’s eye, is acting a little more bipolar now. Last Thursday or Friday all my stocks except for TD, AEM, WGX and GOT were down suggesting a level of panic. Today the golds are down suggesting fear of inflation ticking up triggering higher interest rates. Thinking of selling my WGX to buy AGI because it seems a better miner. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: Merry Christmas! I wish you all the best and a very prosperous year ahead.

With the latest canadian data and of course added political turmoil here. And rates abroad and our neighbors.

It would appear gold will have room to run still. If you do agree I'd like to know.

I'm looking at adding that exposure as I have none with the recent pull back.

My favorite candidates are AEM, WPM.
Would you please provide a reasonable buy range and if anyone is ranked above them in your mind, please mention.

Thank you very much.

Q: Gentlemen:
This is a two part question. I have been holding a large number of B2 gold shares for 12 years, and it has been a disgrace. In your opinion is there any light at the end of the tunnel? Second Part--- Of the above companies( In an OCT 31 question from Maurice, you thought AGI and LUG had the best growth potential ), would that still be your opinion. Please rank them for growth at this date-BEST FIRST. Also please rank them for RISK- LEAST to most. THANKS, BEN.

Q: In a best case scenario, I think 4 years of Donald Trump in power will be chaotic and discruptive in the US and globally. In a worst case, I believe the US is heading for internal unrest/violence, and the certain parts of the globe will be at war. If you were a 74 year old investor who has done well listening to 5i the last 2 years, how would you now hedge against these scenarios?
