Investment Q&A

Q: BTO has been dropping fast (20 cents) after there was a rumour on May 23 that it was pursuing an adquisition in Zimbabwe . Clive Johnson sent an email on the same day indicating the contrary. Is the drop related to the rumour ?, and is this an opportunity to buy some more ?, or there are some bad news/developments that can explain the recent drop . Thanks

Market chatter May 23 , B2Gold (BTG) is considering the purchase of the idled Shamva gold mine in Zimbabwe, if it may be exempted from a law that requires producers to sell all the metal to the country's central bank, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing sources familiar with the matter.

If B2Gold proceeds with the purchase from owner Metallon, it will invest $150 million to $200 million in developing the mine, one of the sources said. The company is willing to pay about a third of the book value Shamva, which was last assessed at $167 million seven years ago, the source added.

Q: Please recommend a couple of small cap
good gold stocks that will have good growth potential, ( I own Wdo), thanks

Q: BTO has been weak to sideways as of late - despite the positive news re the Fekola mine?! Am I missing something? Is more patience required or time to bail? (Would like to transition to MTA) Thanks!

Q: Kindly don't charge me for this question as trying to correct a potential error.
The insider situation shows that there have been $15mil in net sales not buys as suggested in your last commentary on this stock.

Q: Peter and team could you give me an up date on this stock and your out look and give your views on this company .

Q: I had been using BTO as a stock to swing trade and sometimes day trade based on the swings in gold. I have done well with this strategy but after the most recent quarter have lost some confidence in this stock. I am looking for a replacement. Can you please recommend 2 gold stocks that meet my criteria: sufficient liquidity for me to easily move in and out of $80k positions, solid overall financial and production metrics and solid enough overall that if I need to hold the position for a few months I can be comfortable knowing I have a solid company. I have no current gold exposure.

Q: Can you comment on their earnings.

Thanks

Q: Can you give me your views on this company.

Q: I have 3k shares of Btg (Bto in Canadian market), I want to sell and replace with TSG, your thoughts please, thanks always.

Q: any small to mid size gold companies that are of interest?

Q: I currently hold a 4% position in BTO. I don't generally like this sector but have been holding because its "generally recommended" to hold 5% gold/metals position. Right now I'm flat on it so there is no cap/gain or loss to influence a trade.
Do you consider BTO ok to hold at this level and/or should I hold lets say 2% positions in two or three alternatives and if so what would you recommend?
My time frame is 10 years plus.
Thanks
John

Q: Hi 5i, You used to like this stock, what happened? When are they going to declare their earnings? Shall I sell this equity? Is there another gold stock I can replace it with? Thanks in advance, Catherine

Q: It seems to me that BTO is reporting good gold production and revenue as well as guidance. I would expect better stock performance and do not understand why it is not happening.
Would appreciate your views on this.
Thanks
John

Q: Further to another users question on BTO, I recognize internal executives will sell their shares for many reasons. However, any additional insight given the insider selling reported by the G&M today?

B2Gold Corp. (BTO-T)

On July 3, William Lytle, Senior Vice-President-Operations, sold 125,937 shares at a price per share of $3.39, leaving 32,052 shares in his account.

Thanks!

Q: Can you see a fundamental reason why BTO is not currently participating in the sector strength? Others such as KL, WDO are up a lot but BTO still down on the year. And after a decent quarter?

Q: Company is "projecting transformation growth" and a "dramatic increase in consolidated cash flow from operating activities over the next 3 years". 1st quarter results were quite good and and yet the stock seems to be stuck in neutral! With a PE of 26ish, is the good news already baked into the stock price or do you see value here.

Q: Hi 5i Team;
I would like to invest in gold and/or silver. Would you please suggest your favourite small cap producers that could be ten baggers, and also; a couple of explorers or developers that have a excellent prospects in the next three years.
Thanks a bunch!

Q: Peter and team , I watch BNN a lot six or eight moths ago it was a subject and it was felt this company should be at double the share cost . I bought some shares but I am only up 5% , could you give me your views on this company.
Jim.

Q: I AM PURCHASING A FULL POSITION IN GOLD, A LITTLE AGGRESSIVE, HOW WOULD YOU RATE THESE STOCKS AND WHY OR YOUR BEST ALTERNATIVE.
THANKS WAYNE

Q: Greetings et al,
I would appreciate if Peter could give his opinion on b2, since he spent many years at Sprott. I hear nothing but good about B2 from analysts,
guests on BNN, Globe articles, and 5-i, and yet it never can break $ 4.00.
If gold goes up it generally goes down. Astute CEO. What is wrong?
I read an article in the Globe on March 29 stating that for every $ 1.00
increase in the price of WCS DESJARDINS estimates that athabasca oilsands cash flow will increase 10.4%. This AM it was announced
that due to less imports by the USA from Venezeula coupled with
Enbridge reducing what they call airpockets in their shipping system
the WCS/WTI has reduced from $ 28.00 in February, 2018 to $ 18.00
today, and ATH is down today. At an increase of $ 10.00/ barrel for
ATH provided it stays there, Wouldn't one think Ath would go up a few cents?
Thanks,
BEN.
