Q: I have done well the past few days with POU and CAE but the collapse in I 80 gold this week was gut wrenching. I have traded IAU this summer 4 or 5 times to get my adjusted cost down around $1.45. The new CEO, richard Young made me money when I went dumpster diving with Argounaut Gold early this year. I bought ARG, saw it collapse to almost half when I held my nose and went back into the dumpster and bought at 22 cents. In less than a month Mr. Young sold the key new asset of argonaut gold to alamos gold and I got out at 40 cents. So I got some nice smelling roses out of the dumpster. I think of I 80 as a similiar situation. But is that true since Argonaut was a producing while I 80 is a near producer since their current production is limited. But the market cap for I-80 is only about $200 million and the ev value is a bit higher due to some debt. that is reaaaaly low for got reserves of gold in a tier one juristricion that has lots of infrastructure in place. Mr. Young I believe is more of an accountant that a geologist and what I 80 needs right now is some more favorable financing. You are former sprott guys so you understand this stuff. What's your call on I 80? delisting in the USA stock exchange can be thwarted for a while ( maybe six months), right? can this type of asset garner some good financing in this market? Barrick and Newmount are nearby, would they buy these assets for a market cap of $300 to $400 million? Your thoughts?
On a side note can you direct me to a good site that explains the Lassonde curve?

Q: I am thinking of adding/increasing my position in an insurance company and have found that the combined ratio for both MFC and SLF are more than 100 while CB and TSU’s combined ratio is in the low 80. Does that mean MFC and SLF are not as profitable as CB and TSU? Which is a good buy currently? Thanks,

Q: I have decided to buy a large position in BCE
after x div date Dec 15th. Technically it shows no signs of recovery yet.
I belive its pays a higher divident and has as much upside potential as Aqn,Spb and Pgi.un which I will sell.
On the negative side, my fear is that companies like Att ,Vodaphone and Telephonica have been a loosing investment for 20 years.
What are your comments.
Thank you,
Joe

Q: Recently I asked a question about premium brands. When I thought my question wasn't answered I re-asked the question. However I was too fast and you did answer my original question. So I apologize for being too hasty. My next question relates to the app. I have a new tablet and am having no luck in finding the app on Google playstore. Any suggestions? I'll wait patiently for your answer.

Q: I am down 1/3 in ATS in a TFSA and want to move into something with some momentum.
Please provide a handful of suggestions for a growth name I can buy and forget in the short term.
Any sector. Canadian and US, but US preferred. I may also consider a growth-oriented ETF that might prove low-maintenance for the next 10 years.
Thank you in advance, your input is always appreciated and certainly helpful.
