Q: Hi,

I have a divided the amount I set aside for Gold (long time hold as a hedge against many variables) between GLD,XGD and ZJG. But the Junior Golds cost me money! Down about 12%. On GLD and XGD I am up. Will the Juniors see the light of the day soon? Or should one wrap up th e position and move it to XGD/GLD? Or your favourite PHYS?

Q: May i have your thoughts on this one? It released earnings last night which looked great but the stock is down 20% or so today and I'm now holding at a loss. I read the conference call transcript and I can't figure out why the market sent this one lower after what looked like a nice quarter with significant year over year earnings growth. I don't know what I may be missing. The same thing happened to me on Peri and Meli, which I thought had good earnings but fell the day after, only to recover a bit in the following days.

Thank you,

Jason
