Q: My only gold holding is McEwen Mining (MUX)and I am looking at either Kirkland Lake (KL) or B2Gold (BTO).
BTO has almost one billion shares outstanding while KL has less than 200M although their respective market caps are close in size. Is this a determining factor and which one would you favour, and why?
MUX was my first choice because the CEO owns 25% of the company, he has a great track record and they have no debt. Good choice?
Thank you.

Q: This has been quite weak lately, is there any reason in particular or is it cyclical? Is there another company that might be a good alternative?
Thank you

Q: Hi 5i,

I am looking to add a gold producer as portfolio insurance and am relatively well balanced in other sectors. I am looking for a company that has strong growth opportunity over my timeframe (10+ years). I am 23 and can handle volatility but want to avoid producers that are exposed to foreign government risks at their mines. What would be your top pick for a producer that has opportunity for pure growth over this timeframe regardless of how commodity prices are behaving? I know you always like AEM or FNV but I feel they are more slow growth. I am leaning toward BTO or MUX right now. I would appreciate your thoughts here.

Thanks as always,

Joe

Q: On July 15/16 you responded to a question on what would be some good gold stocks to buy at the prices that existed then. You suggested AEM, RIC, MND, BTO, FNV, SMF for a variety of reasons depending on the company. Would these still be your choices today considering the change in gold prices and other factors. If changes should be made do you have any new suggestions. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter,
Any idea why Brookfield Infrastructure partners is going down? I was thinking of taking a full position of 5 % rather than diversifying with Stantec etc. Also, what is the reason for stocks such as Hudbay Minerals and Agrium to continue to go up and is this sustainable? I have noticed the canadian banks and insurance especially TD Bank and Manulife have gone up alot lately. Do you think it is time to trim them as they look over bought. Lastly, can you comment on why Ceapro and B2Gold are taking a hit. The big prediction was gold was going to go much higher after Trump, but all of a sudden, gold continues to experience declines. Thanks very much.

Q: In the past I have followed and at times purchased Eldorado and done ok by it, not the first time though.
Would you by chance have another junior either gold or silver, for me to put on my watch list...and for me gold/ silver is a one stock position.

Q: I jumped into precious metals way too late and now am down from 28% to 48% on these stocks. In total they represent 5% of my portfolio. Is there a seasonal expectation that might help or should I unload?
