Q: Hi

Just wondering if you have any insight into Pan American's recent weakness. Their Q2 results looked decent with an improving margin and fairly good free cash flow. As well, the guidance provided in the MD&A remained consistent with prior guidance.

Perhaps the stock was overvalued relative to the current commodity pricing?

Thank you

Q: Does 5i have a preference for any particular US or Canadian silver miners? In the past, the go to name was always First Majestic but the fiasco surrounding Jerritt Canyon seems to have hampered the company.

Thank you as always

Q: My allotment to precious metals is now down below my target of 5%. I need to add to bring up this part of my portfolio. I have a full position in AEM. Which of PAAS, SSRM, BTO, KRR or FNV should I add to at this time? Or do you have another precious metal company that would be appropriate at this time?

Q: Do you have a favorite silver miner? Would you go with a miner or buy physical silver.
I was considering PAAS but they seem to generate a significant portion of revenue from gold. Thanks.

Q: I own First Majestic Silver Corp. I didn't notice it listed in the drop down menu of companies above. AG is my worst preforming stock in my precious metals sector. Would you sell it for another stock that has better prospects (if so which one and a brief why) or would you still hold. It in a TFSA so there is no tax loss harvesting her. I already own AEM, KKR, BTO and SSRM.

Q: What are the analysis consensus on this company. Also, I understand they are producing more gold than silver???? and is there an overall average cost for gold production(all in costs). I understand they have more than more than one mine. Reason for the question, I'm down on stock price and I am trying to get a feeling whether to hold or sell the stock, and maybe put it into MAG silver do you have a better suggestion.
