Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Peter,

Great website. What do you think of Wallbridge Mineral (WM).Seem to have alot of prospect in Sudbury and a holding in world class polymetallic deposit Duluth Metals...but stock is getting slaughtered recently...any opinion??

Q: Hi Peter,Would you please give me your opinion on URB.A Thanks

Q: My first impression of 5i is a positive one. My hope is that you don't try to be all things to all people by covering every hole in the ground with a ticker symbol. I like your focus on solid, dividend paying small or mid caps. My question is on Constellation (CSU) -- what do you think of the stock at current prices? Thanks for your comments.

Q: Hi Peter. Keep up the excellent work. I am interested in starting to accumulate a position in gold/silver bullion. I was looking at Central Fund of Canada (CEF.A.TO). As far as I know, it is a closed-end fund which is equally weighted between gold & silver and has typically traded for a 5-10% premium to net asset value. Today, it is available for a 2% discount to net asset value (which I assume is because investor sentiment is just brutal). Do you generally like closed-end bullion funds like this one or would you prefer the open-ended bullion funds like GLD & SLV instead? I must admit the gold bugs have got me worried about the open-ended ones as they question whether you can be certain the etf is really backed by physical bullion. Do you think that is a legitimate concern or something not to worry about?

Thanks
Anthony

Q: Will the TAR sands CNQ SU CVE ever be a good investment?
They always seem to have a problem.

Q: Your thoughts on Madalena Ventures (MVN-V)? They announced a bought deal in Feb. at $1.25 and recent news in Argentina nationalizing parts of the oil industry is obviously bad news. That being said, it appears they have great assets, have satisfied the requirements of the ARG government and are close to profitability. Does this look like a good entry point in the low $0.40's?

Q: Ritchie Brithers the auction house buy sell hold

Q: Edleun group inc edu

Q: Company named DirectCash Payments Inc. (DCI-TSX). While their latest quarter is somewhat disappointing, they are in the midst of purchasing an Australian ATM company. Have you done any work on this company? Has a nice yield.

Q: My question is on a small oil company called Solara Exploration [saa.a]which has had a large drop in price and trades very few shares.

Q: Can you give me information on Scorpio Gold (SGN)

Thanks

Q: Re your response to Loni - May 19 re Golden Star; in the last 2 days, Tues and Wed, 7 insiders were buying at between C$.96 to C$1.04

Q: Hi Peter and group, regarding your response about WIN on May 9th; do you have an update from the company yet?

"The company has responded to us, but only to say they will provide an answer in a few days. Thank you for your patience"

Also, is there a posibility that 5i members can get your favorite 'quarterly' buy, hold and sell picks on junior and midcap companies for various categories such as oil and gas, golds, metals and minerals, etc...maybe a new area for 5i to expand into? Could be a very simple rating signal of buy, hold and sell...honest advice from an honest guy/company that members can really trust!

I bought a bunch of Spartan Oil, STO, Pinecrest, PRY, Novus, NVS and New Millenium, NML a while back and still holding onto all of them but having a real tough time getting good honest advise about whether to continue to hold or to sell these companies!!!

Thanks much, Hussein

Q: Hello Peter,
What is your opinion if any on Noront Resources, NOT.V.
Thank you for your reply and willingness to answer so many questions.

Q: Do you have any experience/knowledge regarding forfeited mining claims and their subsequent scoop by a different company? I ask because I've been following Rye Patch Gold (RPM). Coeur d'Alene Mines failed/forgot to pay their mandatory annual mining maintenance fees in Nevada. Rye Patch applied for them after about 2 months of waiting. Would appreciate your thoughts on the matter.

Q: Hi Peter. I started looking into some of the other restaurant royalties after following your recommendations on A&W (6.5% yield) and Boston Pizza (6.9% yield). I found a few others with even better yields like 8.5% from Second Cup Royalty (SCU) and 9.0% from Sir Royalty (SRV.UN). Are you as familiar with these names and would you count these as worthy of investment as well?

Many thanks,
Anthony

Q: interested in your comment on B2gold (BTO)

Q: Further to AM, is the high yield due to the fact the stock has been trending down since the mid-80's?

Q: I'm carrying AM in my TFSA, based on good yields and growth.
Lately it's been smacked hard - is this just mkt trend or something co. specific?
