Q: MAG silver is getting their flagship mine near Fresnillo, Mexico up to name plate capacity. They are using their lower grade ore to run through the mill while they workout all the kinks in the new processing plant. Once that is done they say they will start to process some high grade ore and they say they have lots of high-grade to mine. They raised $42 million US in a share offer not long ago to make the balance sheet more robust. In a very black swan event that their mill has problems they can send some ore over to their Mexican partmer's mill which is close by (That is what they did last year). I like this story and the share price is down closer to 52 week lows. Is there something NOT to like about MAG silver? I know that you guys understand precious metal mining and value your opinion.

Q: I own SLF, BNS, BAM, BN, and GSY in the Financial sector. I am overweight in this sector by 3.42% and thinking to sell BAM with a current equity weight of 0.32% and profit of 56.67%. Additionally selling SLF at a current equity weight of 3.65% and profit of 1.65%. I want to keep it BNS, BN, and GSY due to the decline and losses of -13%, 19%, and 41% when waiting for the recovery. What do you think about this plan. Thanks in advance for your comments.

Q: Does the average investor need exposure to the renewable sector right now? Trying to pick a winner amongst what seems to be a sector facing a number of headwinds (pun intended) seems like a bit of a "mugs game" at present. Can you come up with a compelling reason to not just sit that area out for awhile in favour of opportunities elsewhere?

Q: Good morning 5i
Anything you say about what to add to a tfsa is interesting. This morning you responded to just that question and suggested, amongst others, tfii. You said you would add in the hopes of an upturn. As i look at the chart, though, i see that it has been rising quite well, already. Are you expecting a big move here? I ask because I have such good profits from it that i have been thinking about using it for charitable giving. If you think there is a particularly bright future for it, though, i may hold off.

I was also a bit surprised that you didn’t include Boyd. I know thatyou can’t include everything, of course. But i thought that you are positive on it. What would be the reason for not including Boyd in this group?
Thanks for the excellent service

Q: Hi 5i Team - Since the price of DCM's shares has risen so quickly over the last couple of weeks do you think the new price of around $2.00 is sustainable or has the stock gotten ahead of itself. I'm assuming this is mostly due to its recent acquisition or do you see other factors at play here. Also would you consider this a long term buy at these levels. Thanks.

Q: Team,

Would you kindly give us your best counsel on the three top Gold and Silver Mining Companies in the next 10 years (producing Companies--no speculation)?

This is an impossible request to answer correctly.

Do your best without a crystal ball.

Thanks,

Q: hello 5i:
moving our portfolio more into income producing as we are retired. With that in mind, is JEPI one of your favourite US enhanced income ETFs? I've read the questions on JEPI so am familiar with your answers; just don't want to leave out an ETF that might be "better". Any other suggestions that I should be looking at? Would it be more advantageous to look at something where I don't have to lose income in converting US dollars back to CDN dollars?
thanks
Paul L
