Q: Hello 5i, FEO

What are the fundamentals like on this Iron exploration company? I realize they are in the early exploratory stage so would be considered high risk but if you could comment or have any info on management profile, company history and forward projections and revenue this would be very appreciated. Gold and Silver have had a good run as of late, do you feel that Iron would be "in that space" for mineral momentum?
Thanks so incredibly much!

Q: I have been hearing more about the next stage in the commodity cycle is copper and then oil essentially from gold. What is the best way to get exposure to that trade without taking single security risk?

Q: Dear Peter:

Enjoyed your appearance on BNN Bloomberg's Market call last week. Great Q&A. For the sake other subscribers, perhaps you can post the link here?

My question: You were quite effusive abut PNG (Kraken Robotics) on the how but didn't make it to your top 3. NBIS did. I can understand CECO. But Elf Beauty made it but not PNG. You must have solid reasons for it. Care to share your rationale?

Should one accumulate PNG or simply take 2% position and leave it be?

Q: I've held ACN for a number of years for their blue chip quality and research investments in blockchain. It appears the market believes IT consultants and software firms will be left behind in the AI future. I'm wondering if its too early to make that call and patience is needed, or if ACN is in a declining industry. Appreciate your thoughts.

Q: Dear Peter:

Thanks for once again for being ahead of the curve with Gold! Not surprising given the fact that you worked alongside with legendary investor Eric Sprott! Your consistency and voice of moderation has helped me. I have over the years accumulated GLD/XGD and your favourites, FNV/AEM/NEM and more recently WPM and ARIS.
No complaints about Gold!!

The question is based on your recent answers suggesting that Gold can still go higher but warned folks to be careful about position sizes. I get that point of yours as well.

Where would you add new funds? In individual names of the miners or ETFs? Large caps or Mid tier producers like ARIS? GDX is in USD. IF Gold goes higher, then is it good or bad for USD denominated GDX? Am I not better off adding to my XGD?
Finally how much more room has Gold to go, in terms of percentage, 15%.or 20%? When "experts" on YouTube call for 5000/8000/10000 Gold, I get VERY nervous! Not sure if the mainstream institutions have started to buy Gold or slowly unwinding their positions! Ordinary folks like us have no access to that sort of data!! Any words of wisdom what the smart money is doing? (Every single news feed I get seems to say that ALL the central banks are accumulating Gold!!)

Please deduct as many credits as you see fit.

Thank you for all the good work!

Q: Hi 5i,
I've been thinking about adding Telus to my RRIF for its dividend of over 7% and slow but hopefully steady growth over time. However, a service I subscribe to puts its Earnings Payout Ratio at 251% and its FCF Payout Ratio at 116%. And also says its debt-to-equity ratio is not healthy. Are these numbers accurate, and could I have your thoughts on buying T at today's price and holding 5 years? And could you also compare it to POW for the same 5 year hold.
Thanks 5I,
Peter
