Q: Hello folks:
I am very surprised by the paucity of questions on Gold sector, especially when some of the regular BNN experts like Ross Healy and many others in Seeking Alpha seem to think that the support of 1300 plus will hold and Gold's time to shine is finally here.

Your words of wisdom and your top 3 picks for this sector.
Many thanks.

Q: I’m underwater multi fathoms on this stock. I invested for the talent and expertise of Mike Rose and his team but the sector has been somewhat of a disaster despite his best efforts. It represents 1.25% of my portfolio now, down from about 2.75%. That’s bad enough but worse, I hold it in my RIF, so no write off. What would you do? Hold on to this small position or dispose of it and move on?

Thank you kindly.

Q: Last question on this company dates back to 2017. It has had a nice ride up; but is currently taking an ugly and fast ride down. Down 15% for me in about 1 week alone. My “rules” say sell! Should I? Or can hanging in anticipation of a turnaround be justified?

What does the future look like for this company based on your analysis?

Thanks.

Q: My TFSA is 1% and my RRSP is 5% of my overall portfolio, does it matter what stocks I invest in? I have maintained a balanced portfolio (excluding utilities, energy) in my RRSP but I am thinking I don't need to do this. My TFSA has returned over 300% in three years so I get some enjoyment out of that. I have reduced some of my high fliers but have recently stopped doing that, deciding them to let them soar (keeping in mind that could dive as well). Thanks

Q: Looking to add some ETF's in my accounts - can you explain the difference between funds that are Hedged and those that are not Hedged. What would be better to buy at this time and are they more suitable for a TFSA or a non registered account.
thanks

Q: Peter; Do you think selling all your energy stocks now is a typical “retail” investor panicking at the bottom- conversely is this a contrarian’s dream? Thanks. Rod

Q: Norbert Gambit - FYI:

5i has good thread here (https://www.5iresearch.ca/forums/viewthread/328), but this link has good concise broker-specific how-to info here (https://www.dividendearner.com/dlr-norbert-gambit/) titled
'Convert CAD and USD for less than $20 with DLR'.

Hope it is helpful to members; I just used it.

Q: Do you like VA or better to invest in a different ETF? I own only this ETF and AFG Global Dividend Fund. The VA ETF has not performed that well and wonder if I should invest a better overall global ETF? If so what would be your recommendation?

Thanks
