Q: Hi 5i Team,
I want to add some exposure to the gold sector to my portfolio. What would you suggest given the current market? Gold bullion ETF (CGL), Equity ETF (XGD or ZGD) or invest directly in a Gold producer like AEM ? And what % would you suggest for a mid-40 investor?
Thanks

Q: Is there an opportunity to start a position at these levels? Gold has been strong for ~6 months and the share price on Newmont has been very weak considering that. I know they made an acquisition of Newcrest last year, was there an issue with that acquisition or is there something else at play keeping shares weak?

Given the notable monthly and quarterly closing price of gold last week, it seems like Newmont shares have solid potential upside from here. If you aren't keen on NEM, is AEM the preferred alternative or is there another gold miner you like?

Thanks!

Q: You have thoughts about gold going forward?As a tangible asset instead of Bitcoin and other digital coins I have a strong feeling that gold might be at the beginning stages of a strong rally.
Some gold miners also have a good dividend as well.How did gold perform in history when we had inflation,recession,war,debt?
Please give us some insight here and what is the overall opinion from the analysts?
If there are three gold-companies to pick...which ones?

Q: I owned CXB and it more than doubled. Then I wanted something a little more established so I put the money into KL. It started off well but then I ended up down 20%. When it merged with AEM, I sold KL for the tax loss and bought AEM thinking the combined company looked like a really good gold company. Now I am down 4% on AEM. This now amounts to less than 1% of my overall portfolio. Gold is supposed to be a stabilizer in a portfolio but I have lost faith in it. I certainly don't want to buy more. Do you think someone should have a little gold in their portfolio?
