Q: I know 5i doesn't like to give out portfolio weighting advice so I won't ask .... I'm considering increasing my position in GDXY to 10% { from it's current weighting of 4.72% } . With the US dollar on a rather steady decline, and Powell unable to lower rates due to tariff inflation .....I think the outlook for gold is positive .....

First given the first two facts would 5i consider this a conservative , moderate risk, or risky approach ? ..... And second what dollar amount would gold have to drop to take me out of the black of that currently 42.3% dividend {That yield is from TD Waterhouse feel free to correct it if it is wrong } ..... ? In spite of the recent drop from my purchase price { down 11% } I am still way in the black collecting my rather large monthly dividend ..... I would like to know how much the price of gold would have to drop to put GDXY in a negative position relative to it's current yield ?.....

Though GDXY has only existed for a year I imagine a correlation between the movement of the price of gold compared to the movement of GDXY unit price could be calculated..... I just don't know how to do that ....... Thanks for you terrific service ......

Q: First…. Thanks for getting me into this stock. I am currently looking to add to it at around $33. On my Direct Investing site PRL is considered to be undervalued with a FAIR VALUE of $222. Would you please clarify what this means. I gather it is based on earnings growth. But does this mean $222 TODAY? Or $222 in the future for example 1 year,3 years, 5 years? Thanks.

Q: Can you please comment on Interments quarter just announced? The numbers are hard for me to interpret because a number of properties have been sold.. Yet they apparently were sold above NAV, and company has been buying back shares at a very rapid pace - I believe they bought back 4.4% of their shares in 2025 already. How do you interpret the numbers (eg. FFO and AFFO) as well as the share repurchase programme?

Q: So I bought GLXY at its peak of $34.00 and then watched it drop precipitously and then bought more at $15.00 so averaged out at $19.50 , it’s now $32.00. What a ride ! In my TFSA and still own.
I bought it because it is well managed, diversified in the crypto world, solid financials , future Nasdaq listing , and looks to benefit from Trump’s support of crypto.
While I have personally experienced its volatility I wish to mitigate such extremes as I recently experienced. I am worse at selling than buying a stock ( common to many investors ?) so am looking at stop loss orders. I believe you are not a fan but David Burrows uses them on every stock so thoughts vary on them. He uses point and click charts ? I was thinking of just using a simple % such as a 20% decline since it has such volatility. What is your suggestion on selling stocks and using certain dynamics when determining when to sell ? Thanks. Derek.
