Q: Dear Peter et al:

"Rumblings" by YouTubers suggest that Silver's top is fast approaching. 100$ seems to be "magical" figure. Some are suggesting to "lighten" up. I have the above mentioned favorites of yours. (Didn't get CDE/HL) I have done well with ALL of your Gold/Silver choices.
The question is if one should stay put or "lighten" up as others seem to say. I am an investor and NOT a trader.

P.S. Reading your answers I get the impression that you seem to think that there is some ways to go up in commodities. Hope I am not wrong in my interpretation.

Q: I own the above two stocks and they are up quite a bit. They are taking a small hit lately due to new year index rebalancinng. I am a little concerned about SVM since the mine is in China and China has talked about restricting silver exports. What are your top three silver stocks at the moment and what do you think about the China risk for SVM.

Q: A few months ago, I purchased a small position in GLXY, in a TFSA.It is down about 40% and it is now well below 1 % of our overall portfolio. A current contribution results in some new funds being available. I am considering adding to GLXY or alternatively moving on to SVM. Dividends are not a priority, and the objective for this account is good growth, with accepting some measure of risk. .Which of these 2 do you think is the better route to go? Also, do you think the recent regulatory change in China regarding silver is an impediment for that company; if so, is there another silver play that you would prefer?Thanks so much for your excellent service.

Q: I was wondering what your opinion of this official status of silver now is.

"Silver was officially added to the U.S. Critical Minerals list by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as part of the final 2025 list, with the recommendation made in August 2025 and the final list published in November 2025, marking a major shift recognizing its importance in technology, defense, and renewable energy".

In light of this, what 3 silver or mining companies you would recommend for exposure small, medium, large cap examples.? Do you believe that this new status has lead to the large appreciation this year? I do hold physical so I have some exposure there already.

Thanks for your great service.

Q: The way things look right now, it is difficult to see how energy and materials (mining) won’t play a major role in keeping Canada afloat. It seems we have things the world needs/wants if we can get over our distaste for being prosperous. I’m wondering if you can suggest some “pick and shovel” plays in the space generally?

Q: Dear Peter et al:

I am NOT in a Panic mode....yet! Having been a long term subscriber, I KNOW "Time IN the market" is more important than "Timing the market"!
Also know that "pull backs" are NOT Crashes!
I have your favourites in Gold, FNV/AEM/WPM/AGI. ARIS in the Mid tier. Added Silver with Ag/PAAS/CDE. (Down now!) I was going to add your recent pick SVM. But before I could pull the trigger the sudden drop in Gold/Silver happened.

With this in mind, where do you see the new floor for Gold and Silver? 3600/40 respectively? Should one add or wait or sell?
Thanks as always.

Q: Dear Peter:

I see that SVM has just been added with a 1.5% position in 5i portfolio. This didn't get any mention in various questions on Silver by members. I see that the answers to previous questions on SVM (going back to August and beyond) didn't seem that enthusiastic.
Something must have changed. Bit surprised by the rationale in your portfolio update b/c China is not exactly in a "politically" correct environment!
In any event where would you place SVM amongst Silver stocks. (PAAS/CDE/AG/HL were your safe picks previously)

Many thanks.
