Q: Greetings,
I know 5i isn’t a fan of averaging down and while it is a strategy that has worked well for me in the past, initiating positions / timing hasn’t worked in my favour and I tend to buy the peaks. Hence the DCA strategy working for me I guess in lowering the average share price and eventually seeing some reasonable returns. Of course it tends to lead to overweight positions which I trim back. Examples are BA and vermillion.
Now here I am again in a situation. Holding ABX and BTO and down about 25%. Even so I am VERY comfortable with these 2 companies in my portfolio and I see them as complimentary to each other. I don’t see shifting way from them as I feel comfortable even being down 25%. However I am looking to DCA these 2 and bring my total gold exposure in my portfolio up from 7% to 10%. I have no other precious metals exposure. As I am aware 5i tends to be comfortable with 10% total sector position.
Could you weigh in on the narrative in general, address timing of purchases (as 5i tends to like a company and be “comfortable buying here” and seems indifferent of timing), DCA strategy, and advise of your opinion on these 2 companies, strengths, weaknesses, expectations.
Deduct as needed as my credit burn is quite slow.
Cheers and thanks for all the great advice! You have made a big difference. 🙂

Q: With the price of gold bullion falling the dividend yields for several gold miners is looking attractive. At a selling price of $1,700 and a production cost of ~$900 it would seem that dividends are not at risk. Would you agree that this is an opportune time to purchase some the miners who have attractive dividend yields? I have listed three which are on my watch list. Are there others you consider worthy of further investigation?
Thank you
Thank you
Q: Your opinion on results please. Thanks John
Q: Good Morning;
I am interested in adding to my holdings of AEM and FNV. I am also very interested in BTO with it's relatively high yield. I would appreciate your view on this company. Thank you.

Q: Hello,
Your Feb. 9 blog about finding quality stocks had a lot of Gold companies on the list with low P/E's, low debt, and 3 yrs of positive growth in earnings.
For a TFSA that has no Gold exposure currently, which of these small-cap & mid-caps has really good momentum now and is well positioned for more growth in the coming 2-3 years? And which has a solid portfolio of mines in production now?
Thanks for your guidance.

Q: Hi
Based on current production, production growth and reserves which one would stand out and why.
Thank you in advance

Q: Hi 5i,
I have held BTO for some time in a RRSP & up ~9% and like this company for gold exposure. Noticed it continues to sell off causing the dividend % to look more attractive in a Non-Registered Account. My question is would BTO be better in Non-Registered Account to collect the dividend tax credit and leave the option open for a tax loss selling if BTO continues to slide. In past market corrections I always would have rather had cash sitting in a Registered Account vs non-registered since tax losses are non-applicable and it takes so long to earn back any booked registered losses. To be safe should I sell the gain off in the register account & wait the full 2 days to settle prior to rebuying in a non-registered account (want to ensure I do not disqualify any possible future tax losses).

Q: Hi, I am considering adding BTO, am currently light on basic materials and it also pays a dividend! Would you be a buyer, or suggest better alternatives? Any other basic materials companies that are geographically diverse? Thanks
Q: hi
looking at these to gold companies - if you had to choose one ?
thanks Joe

Q: Greetings 5i,
I have no luck sometimes having stepped into BTO last week with a 1% position ... What are your thoughts NOW? What would you replace it with? Most larger Metals companies have run a bit and it feels like I'm chasing. Would you consider ABX or look to a Jr?
Cheers!

Q: Could I have your opinion on Bto. Thank you.
Q: Thoughts on their latest quarter.
Q: Good morning, I hold ASR, AEM and BTO. I am looking to add one more gold name. Also, would you keep ASR as it transitions into SSR? Please provide me your top two mid-cap gold names.

Q: Hi 5i Team,
I've held B2 Gold for a long time (like 10 or 12 years) and I am sitting on a 110% gain. It's 1.3% of my total equity portfolio and precious metals and PM equities are about 14% of my total investments today. I'm considering selling my BTO and shifting that over to an existing 2.3% position in FNV that I've also held for a long time to bring that up to 3.6%. I'm also wondering if I should continue to diversify into other possible big gainers like WDO or if I should move this money into other names I already own. I'm curious what you think the best move here is?
For information purposes, my Precious Metals positions include:
- 2.65% AEM (held for years)
- 2.4% PHYS (held for years)
- 2.3% FNV (held for years)
- 1.3% BTO (held for years)
- 1.2% KL (held for years)
- 1.1% FVL (added last Thursday)
- 0.9% WM
- 1.0% MAG
- 1.0% SIL
I'm bullish on precious metals and stocks given the monetization of basically everything and therefore have let this part of the portfolio run past the 10% weighting Iimit I used to have but I'm thinking that this sector should probably not be more than 15% of the portfolio and definitely not 20% of the portfolio.

Q: Hi 5i,
Looking to buy back into gold and looking at mid-cap to smaller companies. Would you prefer one of the above companies or is there another name or two, that may be good for a long term hold?
Thank you

Q: I currently have a significant position in Yamana and with the recent rise in share price, I have been thinking of selling a portion of my position and buy another mid-cap gold miner. I am likely going to sell my gold positions in 2-3 years time and would like a mid cap company with higher share price growth potential.
I am debating between BTO, AGI and K.
BTO has had some momentum of late but with geo-political risk. AGI has minimal debt but generally produces less gold. Kinross is a larger producer but it may have some leverage to run up significantly with a higher gold price.
Any thoughts on these three stocks and which do you prefer of the three?
Thanks in advance.

Q: Think you may have missed a first dividend fro, Nov 5th news..
" (the "Board of Directors") declared B2Gold's first dividend of $0.01 per common share, and expects to declare future dividends quarterly at the same level, which on an annualized basis would amount to $0.04 per common share".
