Q: Hi.
Just doing my taxes and note a discrepancy between the broker generated proceeds of disposition and the T5008. The difference is that the T5008 includes as proceeds the rollover amount from RPI.UN to RIC. I thought this was a tax deferred rollover. Was there anything that I as a shareholder had to do to secure this or is this an error on the T5008?

Q: Your thoughts on this company would be appreciated. I cannot see where they have mentioned the next earnings release date so if you have that I would appreciate it. Thinking it might catch an uptick from people looking for companies which benefit from a decent economy and are not susceptible to AI disruption.

Q: I bought Ric just slightly before the agi announcement. I see that the vote will take place next week and it looks like voters will vote for the takeover of ric. I would like to know if there is a good enough reason for me to keep ric.
I already have KL and some MUX which seems not to be very robust these days. What are your thoughts please. Thank you.

Q: I bought some AGI on the big drop yesterday. Would it be better to sell it and replace it with RIC in case they get a better offer. Also can you explain the big drop, did they pay too much for it. If the deal does complete, what do you think of AGI then?

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: Peter and His Wonder Team
Lately I have been reading about the coming " Debt Crisis" as every country is printing money from thin air to avoid a recession. However for numerous reasons I believe we are probably setting ourselves up for something much worse...I am not a gold or silver bug but I think the time has come to create some protection so I can sleep better at night and when I happens I will not be upset with myself for being so rigid and denying reality. So please give me your opinion on a couple of junior gold and silver stocks that are of good value now and for the long term! Thanks for your reliable and consistently excellent insights!
