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: I have held MRE in my TFSA for the past couple of years and have done "okay".
However, I'm looking at moving into something with more total return potential and am considering either BTO or DPM, as I feel both could do well in a strengthening gold market (which I can foresee over the next year or so).
Which would you lean towards and why?
Thanks, Rick

Q: Greetings:
If you were establishing a position in gold miners, which would it be with reasons. B2 has hardly come off it's low with a nice dividend, Why? Must be a reason. I have been following gold closely for 50 years, and usually it amounts to no more than the rate of inflation, even though people like your old boss Eric was calling for $5,000.00 gold 15 years ago. However, one shouldn't knock all that hot air because it made him many millions.

Thanks, Ben.

Q: Gold above $2050 would be bullish I think. Wondering what your thoughts are on this asset category at this time and looking for your top two large and small cap picks that would have torque to a higher gold price.

Also a comment on the dividend sustainability of B2 would be appreciated.

Thanks folks

Q: I have a small position in BTO and was considering adding to the position or alternatively, for some diversification, buying OR. While BTO pays a decent dividend, it doesn't seem to be gaining any traction in current markets. What is your opinion for a 2 to 3 year hold?

Q: A little while ago a member asked about gold and these 3 companies were mentioned by you as potential to purchase. Comparing the 3, it seems that BTO is quite a bit more attractive....a good yield at 5 % (AGI is less than 1% and KRR is nil); BTO has about 1/2 the P / E and somewhat better P / B. Can you elaborate why the other 2 could be considered over BTO . Thanks

Q: Is there any particular reason why the miners are doing so poorly against the price of gold? Is this a buying opportunity or is the market anticipating a downturn in gold prices? Would you prefer buying the metal (eg. GLD) or the miners (eg. AEM, ABX, BTO)?

Q: Peter,

There seems to be some love returning to the beleagured Canadian small/micro cap stocks. Given how much they have declined, it looks like there is decent upside if the recovery continues.

On this note, do you see STC as a name that has not yet joined the party (with PAY, NVEI, LSPD, DTOL, DCBO, etc., already on the move) and has some decent potential here?

What would be your top three picks in this space at this time?

Thanks for your outstanding service,

David

Which of these do you think has more upside potential?
