Q: Good morning, Gold hit an all time high today and its up all day. But the GDX, AEM, and ABX went the other way into negative territory. How is this possible , can you please explain?? In August of 2020 when gold hit $2060 for a brief moment , GDX, AEM, and GOLD hit all time highs and today they are 40-50 % lower .
Thanks,
George

Q: Good morning, Looking at the chart of GDX the last 5 yrs the ETF reached yrly highs on Aug 6,2020, May 18,2021, April 18,2022. Those dates matched the highs in gold price and the gold stocks. So the price of gold , the miners stock price, and the GDX moved together until 2022. Since then the GDX is moving in opposite direction to the other two and reached a new low last week when gold is at an all time high for the last 3 months. Can you explain ? It appears that the GDX is sold short daily and keeping the gold miners stock prices down artificially .??
Thanks, George

Q: Hi,
I am wondering about whether or not replacing stocks sold for a tax loss strategy is prudent, or not. All of the above listed stocks are at a loss in a taxable account. I am looking to offset a large profit that occurred in July when a number of stops were hit. The loss on GSY and SBUX is not terribly large, and so if it is deemed these stand a good chance of rebounding in the early part of 2022, then I may decided to keep them. In selling any of the stocks listed, are their replacements I could purchase that would likely add some growth? The alternative being just wait out the 30 day period and repurchase the strongest of the list. Your thoughts and suggestions would be most appreciated! Thanks for all the great advice over the years! Dawn

Also an alternative is XGD.TO okay to invest in a RRIF?

Q: Hi 5i,

Thank you in advance for you guidance. It is much appreciated. So, I am very bullish for gold and silver. I have invested in physical gold and but I want to take advantage of gold and silver companies as well. I love The Gold Fund at EuroPacific Asset Management (https://europacificfunds.com/funds/gold-fund/) that is managed by Adrian Day, but it requires a $100K minimum investment for Canadians. Can you recommend a really great ETF or Mutual Fund that is similar?

Q: Apologies for the long list. Could I have your opinion on which I should sell? I will probably take the proceeds and add to FNV, AEM, and KL (are those reasonable choices?). Thanks very much.

Q: I currently a small amount of GDX and GLD. I would like to increase my gold holdings a bit. Is there a stock you recommend? I am wondering about ABX or GOLD, if you like those, and is GOLD better than the CAD ABX? Or do you prefer another gold stock?
Also, is this a good time to buy silver? If so, would you recommend a stock or an ETF, CAD or US? Thank you.
