Q: I have a 4% position in silver through SLW. I would like to increase my position now to take advantage of the (sometimes) short term Jan/Feb seasonal pop in silver but also for a longer term hedge against potential inflation. Would you recommend sticking with SLW or diversifying into another stock/vehicle, and if so, what? Any general recommendations on % to be held in a portfolio and do you feel purchase at this time makes sense ?
Thanks for the great service you are providing.

The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, Jan. 3, edition that CIBC World Markets analyst Adam Gill is keen on Argent Energy Trust ($9.24 (Canadian)) in the wake of its recent $120-million (U.S.) acquisition of oil and gas assets from Wapiti Oil & Gas and Wapiti Energy. The Globe's Darcy Keith writes in the Eye On Equities column that Argent Energy issued $100-million (U.S.) in new equity to pay for the deal and is taking on new debt. Argent, however, still has a strong balance sheet, says Mr. Gill. He figures Argent Energy's payout ratio will decline to 116 per cent from 138 per cent. As a result, Mr. Gill rates Argent Energy "sector outperformer" with a price target of $12.25 (Canadian). The shares of Argent Energy have a five-month range of $8.95 (Canadian) to $10.70 (Canadian). The Globe's Boyd Erman said on Oct. 30 that Argent Energy was having a good run. The shares were then worth $9.81 (Canadian).

Q: Congrats on the site, I am a new subscriber and find the information useful. I am sitting on about 200k in cash at the moment. With the pseudo positive news coming from the states and the recent increases in most of your B+ to A recommendations, would you hold off on this entry point and wait for weakness? Would you be able to mark sensible entry points for some of your top recommendations ( Stn, Pki, bdi, cgx, Aya, csu, Bad, esl, Atp)?

Thanks,

Eric

Q: Hi Gang, I live on the income generated from my investments and have about 16% invested in the Canadian Banks. I'm wondering about ZWB (banks covered-call ETF) as a double sided investment. The yield is nice, but given that the price appreciation trails that of the individual banks, would the position act as a partial hedge? And is a 10 to 15% position too high.
Thanks
