Q: I own the above Precious Metals companies having bought all over the past 4 or 5 years. Based on my cost all of them are in a profit position to varying degrees.

Each was bought for a somewhat different reason ie B2 because of heavy sell off n divi, Fortuna as a potential turnaround, Equinox as a turnaround .. similarly Wesdome.

I am always interested in holding good companies that have turnaround n takeout potential.

Which would you continue to hold and which would you sell to streamline my holdings keeping in mind AEM has performed well whilst some of the others have been following the general market updraft n may or may not have catalysts to drive them higher?

Q: I have about 4% of my portfolio in MNT, ABX, and K, all bought a year ago and 20-25% under water. I am having trouble deciding if I should cut my losses, put them towards better gold stocks like AEM, or get rid of my gold exposure completely. If you're in my position, what would you do? What is your outlook for gold in the next few years? Are there any catalysts for gold as a sector you can foresee? I have a hard time envisioning them doing well when the economy is growing so nicely
Or is it good to keep as a hedge against the down days like today? The rest of my portfolio is diversified enough tending towards the growthy stocks, if that matters.

Thanks for your insight.

Q: In my previous question about Earth Alive Clean Technology you mentioned the % of insider and institutional holding, wouldn’t you view that as a positive , especially for such a small company? The market for the sectors they’re in is very large, with the above companies I’ve referenced, if Earth Alive Clean can grab an increase in market share with their new products it could transformational for them , no?

Q: Hello 5i team,

What do you guys think are the "worst" companies currently in the TSX60 index that you think will under-perform in the coming years? Why?

Are there any fundamental/financial metrics that you think are the most predictive of poor future performance that investors should look out for?

Thanks!
