Q: I was thinking of getting back into gold in some way. I recently sold barrick and newmont for pretty good returns. I currently have SLV and PPLT for metal ETFs. What would be the best gold miner to get into?

Thanks,
Andrew

Q: Would you consider KXS as a buy at today's price of $61.95 or is it getting ahead of itself and I should wait for a pullback? With thanks, Bill

Q: Is there any significance in the latest news on CXI? There are many small banks in the US so when they say they have agreements with over 800 branches that could be big or not. Your insight please and thank you.

Q: What are your thoughts on AKT.A, it popped up on my filters for low debt to equity, growing dividend.... but surprises me considering the sector it's in.

Q: your take on earnings, the revenue number seems great, but the losing money part seems worrisome even though they forecast it. dave

Q: Please help me understand the Target Price spreadsheet. I see companies with forecasted price declines with many Buy and some Strong Buy ratings. Huh? Please provide some context for the source of the data. Thx Frank

Q: The company seems to be overpriced as they are still losing cash. They have many competitors in all their sectors. Also, IMAX just closed a huge deal with China's biggest cinema operator committing to 150 IMAX screens, which reduces available space for potential D-BOX screens. As mass market adoption of virtual reality isn't yet a sure thing, would it be safe to sell this stock and rebuy it when on a big pull back? Thanks!

Q: hi team

Q: As we all mention, thanks for the great work. WPK seems to be trending lower. Their results did not seem too bad. What are your views going forward. David

Q: A question that has preplexed me for a long time is how should we, as investors, interpret a recommendation to "hold"? This term is used by virtually everyone in the investing community. And I am not referring here specifically to the target price data recently posted.

It seems to me that everyone should only want to always be owning stocks that are either doing well or they feel have the potential to do well - i.e. a "buy" (at least in their own mind) A "hold" signal to me suggests that the stock is in neutral and the analyst has little conviction as to whether it is a buy or sell. Therefore, shouldn't I only want to own stocks that are just "buys"? Whenever I look at my holdings, I am always asking myself if this is the best stock I can own for the long term because I am interested in overall results 5 years from now keeping sector allocation in mind). I have hung on to AVO, for example, because I still feel that the potential returns are better than anything else I can find in the sector. But I sold BTE because I didn't see a future there. Trading costs shouldn't be part of the answer as it only costs me $5 for each trade.

Appreciate yor insight.

Q: I have a large portfolio of 1.3 Mil in value. They are accross all sectors. I will be adding another 200k shortly. I have no precious metals in my portfolio as I was not comfortable with the volatility. What would you suggest for percentage amount of precious metals and what companies, ETF's
would you suggest. Is holding physical gold less volatile that companies?
If so, is there an ETF that holds physical gold.
