Investment Q&A

Q: Good Morning Peter and Team,
I have been very slowly averaging into the gold mining sector over the last year using ETF's- IShares XGD and BMO's ZJG along with equities- Central Fund of Canada (CEF.A- TSX) and Silver Bullion Trust (SBT.UN- TSX). So far it has been like catching a falling knife and I look pretty stupid but I truly believe that we are still in a long term secular bull market in precious metals. Do you think we are approaching the "PUKE POINT" for this wave or cycle ??? Also I would appreciate your opinion of my stategy.
Thank you very much. DL

Q: This is not a question just a comment for the person asking about (syz) this morning. Jason Donville on market call last night was very negative on the company and said it was extremely over valued and said if you could get 4.50 for the stock to sell it. The high was 4.50 this morning which may account for the weakness. thank you

Q: Do you have any idea what is going on with sylogist, [SYZ], over 7% drop at market opening, and above average volume this week, thanks.

Q: hello 5i:
in light of the high rating given to PLB in the recent report, would it not be a more logical candidate to hold in a portfolio than VRX? Realizing there are differences in the market served, but both are in the same general market sector.
thanks

Q: Hi Peter and team,

I would like your thoughts about Coeur d'Alene's purchase of Orko. There are three options on the table for shareholders to consider: A)70cents cash , 0.0815 of a common share of Coeur and 0.01118 of a warrant to purchase Coueur shares at $30 doallars for each Orko share B)To receive 0.1118 of a common share of Coeur and 0.01118 of a warrant to purchase a Coeur share for each share tendered (subject to proration) or C)Cash and Warrants (subject to Proration) to recieive 2.60 in cash and 0.01118 of a warrant to purchase a Coeur share for each share tendered.
I would be making a tiny profit on option C and Orko was my only exposure to the Silver mining sector at this moment.

Which option would you recommend and why? I guess your opinion about Silver prices going forward, and Silver miners (Couer)in general, would be needed to help understand your perspective.
Thanks in advance,

Arturo

Q: On your "View by Category" section, adding Investor Resources as a category would be a help.
You have made many suggestions as to where we can get more detailed information or technical tools, such as changes in short interest, and your subscribers have also sent in sites. If you started that category it would build up over time and be quite useful.

Q: Good Morning Peter and Team,
My question has to do with the spin-off of BPY.UN from Brookfield Asset Management (BAM.A- TSX). I own a fair bit of BAM.A and will be receiving some BPY.UN shares shortly as a stock dividend. In your opinion should I look to add additional BPY.UN shares to my portfolio ??? In other words are these shares worth holding on to and, adding to, over time ??? BEP.UN and BIP.UN have certainly done very well since their respective launches.
Thank you. DL

Q: I am considering QLT or VRX - would greatly appreciate your views.
