Q: Good Morning,
I see this morning that RNX announced over the weekend that they have found more gold at their Beta Hunt mine. I'm about break even on this after holding for a few years , any thoughts on this? Perhaps hold and let it run for a bit? I heard Eric Sprott over the weekend discussed it on his Podcast and seems to have even further interest in RNX.
Thank-you

Q: I would like to increase my global exposure and was looking at Cymbria, or would Edgepoint Global be a better investment? From your last answers on Cymbria, you stated it was trading at a high premium. What would be a good entry point to buy Cymbria? I notice it has come down a little bit since then. What about the management fee for these products, are they reasonable?
Thank you for all the advice I have received over the years!

Q: This company seems to have changed its focus drastically within the cannabis space since your last assessment in Jan. Could you update the outlook for the company, including the spinout of Poda. Scotia research forecasts .04 earnings in 2019 and .13 in 2020; achievable?
Its trading symbol has changed, now GENE, perhaps to reflect the involvement of its Chief Evangelist Officer, Gene Simmons, whom I know Peter will meet on Friday. Perhaps Peter could find out the duties of a C.E.O.?

Q: Recently signed up with 5i and I appreciate the information provided. My first question ... I am reducing the risk in my portfolio in anticipation of a market decline over the next 6 to 18 months. Part of which includes increasing the allotment cash/bonds so that I can reinvest in equities at the appropriate time. Over the summer I've moved into some HFR,XBB, HTB. I would like to get some yield but I do not need the cash flow for years down the road. What are your thoughts on these 3 choices for risk reduction and capital appreciation when the market corrects?

Q: Hello 5i
I just sold a small amount of Precison Drilling to recuperate a tax loss. I don't really want to keep anything like this permanantly in my portfolio but was hoping to buy it back in 30 days in order to get back at least what I paid for it. Is there any other stock that I could use as a substitute in the meantime?
thanks

Q: I am Following your balanced portfolio. There are significant losses in AEM and WCP and both are a tax loss opportunity. I am considered changing these for KL and PXT? The later two have much better momentum and I think look much better on their technical charts over the last 3-5 years. Both are less than 3% positions each. What is your opinion?
