Q: Good morning,

So with the new Fed Chair nominee being announced today, I am surprised that gold is moving lower. For him to have been nominated, you know he is going to push for lower rates. But historically he has been known as an inflation hawk, thereby preferring higher rates to ward off inflation. There is the question of what this now means for Fed independence, which in turn could result in further volatility in the rates markets. All of this points to the ongoing theme of USD weakness amid a flight of capital away from the US.

In my small brain this points to higher gold prices, not lower gold prices - lower rates; lower USD; higher volatility; less Fed independence. But gold is moving sharply lower. What am I missing?

Thanks as always.

Q: My news feed just had an Australian article about gold/silver going down significantly overnight. I was thinking yesterday I might sell some or all of my CGC.VN stock as it hasn't done anything for a bit only to realize it was bought out by MUX yesterday. Please tell me about that (I seem to have made 33% on that deal?) and MUX's prospects so that I can determine whether to go through with selling it all or whether I should keep half. I feel like it's just going to start sinking as soon as the TSX opens this morning. I have AEM & LUN as well--how bad is this correction going to be this morning and will LUN be safer because it has nickel and copper mines as well?

Q: Hi 5i,

With the recent big run up and huge embedded gains in gold/silver does it make sense to even consider investing in these precious metals at this time?

Q: Hi there TXN reported yesterday. Seems they missed some of their expectations but did report a decent profit y/y and provided a postiive forecast for next year.

Can you please add some analysis to this and do you think it can run up here?

Ok thanks.

Q: Hi Team,
Can I have your take on NOW earnings? Beat on all metrics it seems like, yet the stock nose dives. CNBC has a headline saying "bear market is in for software stocks". What is a person to do now when I am stuck with NOW, and all the CSU family? Can I expect CSU, LMN, TOI to sell off a bunch more on earnings when they report like NOW is doing today even though they beat? I am finding it hard to decide whether to just Hold, buy more, or Sell? Usually selling is not a good long term idea in a proven quality name, but maybe this is different this time? However selling a sector that is being oversold might be a bad idea if I am expecting to invest it in momentum names at their "highs" (such as MU) that might roll over at any time...that would be a bad scenerio. Today is an awful day. My portfolio has peaked last October and still has not came back since and continues to fall. Losing confidence in holdings I thought were all quality names..

Thanks for any input you may have,

Shane.

Q: The CEO is given the boot. Good news or bad news?
If you were a holder of this company would you sell or hold at this point?

Q: My Guys

Your thoughts on CGI's earnings and outlook. Seems to be support with stock buybacks etc. Time to nibble away at it.

Thanks
