Q: Dear Peter and team:

Season's Greetings! Many thanks for all the words of wisdom. I am an "old man" and I have been part of many "services" like this. BUT Peter has put together a "different" team. I believe yours is a team that combines the "Art and Science" of investing very well with integrity. Bravo and Best wishes.

Question for the team: Hope this is not too "intrusive"!

What do you plan to buy with your TFSA contribution of 7000$ in 2026?!

Q: The plunge in gold on Friday, followed by another today, have coincided with a steep plunge in the TSX on both days. Do we have any idea just how much of the outperformance of the TSX this year is due solely to metals, especially precious metals? Obviously a lot, since the TSX is now underperforming the S&P this month.

Q: Gold miners witnessed a first noticeable pullback of 6-7% on Friday, after almost going up in straight line for several weeks, although Gold bullion was down only fractionally. It looks like, after a spectacular run, the sector may be exposed to additional drawdown, at least in the near term. Do you agree ?

Could you please suggest some near term support levels, for AEM and XGD, from technical perspective, in order to take advantage of this pull back to add to a position.

Thank You

Q: A question was recently asked about whether gold has finished its run and you said no. I don’t think I have ever owned anything related to gold and i don’t know much about it. But, if it has more runway and we face a bit of an uncertain future, it may be time to test the water. I imagine some kind of etf, either US or Cdn would fit best. What would you suggest on each side of the border for someone in my position
Thanks for great advice

Q: Hi,
Could you illustrate to us all what type of companies/stocks and/or sectors historically have performed the best ( or least worst ) over periods of recession/depression/stagflation and war times? And further, can you provide your top 5-10 CDN stocks that you think would do best in these situations, with at least half of them dividend payers please, if possible. Potential ETF and options strategies would be appreciated as well. Take as many points as you see fit.
cheers and thanks, Chris

Q: Good morning. I have a half position in ATD in my RRIF that is the only under performer. I would like to sell it and open a position in gold. I'm not sure whether to buy a producer, a streamer or an ETF. I could add funds and buy 1 full position, or buy 2 of the above categories. Your thoughts and suggestions for tickers would be welcome. Thanks in advance. David

Q: Could I ask you to please suggest a half dozen or more equity based inflation protection ideas, perhaps mostly individual stocks and a couple of ETFs, CDN and/or US. Does CME-Q fit the bill at all?
Thanks.
