Q: I move in and out of gold depending on my fear level and currently have no exposure. Trump is managing to change my perception, however, and am currently looking for ideas. GLDI seems to have a screaming nice yield, but share depreciation has eaten away any gains over the past year. What would need to happen to the gold price to reverse this trend. Any thoughts or other ideas (excluding GLD and XGD).
Thanks in advance

Q: Hi team, I'm just starting up my portfolio, and am looking for exposure in the Mining & Metals industry. As my account is still small, I'm trying to avoid transaction fees. Can you suggest one or two ETF's that target this industry, which you like for a 3-5 year hold. While I'm looking for growth potential, a decent dividend never hurt!

Q: I have a question about XGD. I believe you like this fund and I've been keeping an eye on it, with a view to purchase. It keeps going up and I haven't had to guts to purchase. I have this feeling that once I purchase it, the downward trend begins! What is your view of the current price and when the party might stop?

Q: Hi. Can you give a comparison between XGD, which you have written about earlier, and ZGD, the BMO Equal Weight Gold index ETF for which it seems this might be the first question. Is there value in holding both as my exposure to gold?

Q: I read with interest your recent article in the Post and was intrigued by the comment that research shows 90% of portfolio returns come from sector allocation - if a person wanted to take advantage of that, in a simple, easy to manage and inexpensive way (ignoring taxes for the moment) what would be your view be on an approach where one's equity component of their portfolio consisted entirely of a number of ETF's with each one of the ETF's focused on a particular sector, with a periodic (say quarterly) rebalancing? What specific ETF's would you suggest for such a portfolio? Thank you.
