Q: A gold investor named Michael Gentile recently recommended SUP. Just wondering what you make of it and its recent weakness, and how long it might take to see the very significant upside he sees. It’s been declining while the price of bullion has risen.

Also curious what you think about ANX and if you’d have any qualms holding after the dramatic dip it took last week. Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: As a Fortuna investor I was disappointed in the Roxgold takeover offer. I try and avoid the geographical areas Roxgold is in and also want FVI for a silver play. I see no advantage to the takeover from FVI's perspective and it looks like the market agrees. What do you think about this offer and merger with Roxgold? Does it make sense to you?

Q: I realize that you do not have a crystal ball however my concern is over the Covid Variants especially the ones in India. There is a suggestion that some of the variants may block the effectiveness of the vaccines. If this becomes a huge issue, I am thinking that the market could be in for another rout. I wonder if sitting in cash is the prudent thing to do and just wait out the current virus situation. The market has gone up allot and I would rather give up a small potential gain over time vs a large drop in a much shorter period of time. Your thoughts?
