Q: Hi there,
Do you know if there is a minimum holding period for this Sprott product? If so, how long is it and what is the penalty for early sale? I have contacted Sprott four times with no reply. Tx.

Q: Good afternoon 5i team
My wife and I are retirees and conservative investors. On the recent decline, I initiated a 1% position (in total) in the captioned gold stocks; it added diversification to our portfolio. Given that gold securities could suffer in a general market decline, I'm wondering if I should continue to add towards a 5% position now, or wait for further possible declines to increase our position. Thank you for your comments. Edward

Pls advise how to build this sector with growth in mind.
Thank you for excellent advice.

Q: In a well balanced portfolio that is similar to the 5iR Balanced Portfolio, both BYD.un and PKI have increased in portfolio weighting from the initial investment positions. I recall 5iR saying to keep SIS less than 4.5%. For BYD.un and PKI, what would you suggest be the upper limit for the portfolio weighting of each of these two position?.......and thanks for these position recommendations.....Tom

Q: 5I bought it at $49. Here's my chance to get it cheaper for $42. Down 22% in a matter of a week or so. I knew I wasn't buying a blue chip stock but I didn't think I was speculating either. Setting aside the issue of " Comfort Level ". I had no problem taking a 5% position in ENB when it was volatile because it was a blue chip stock....What level of investment product did I buy ? Why should I stick with it ? I have a 2.2% position in TSGI. If it is a good company should I increase that to 4% or just weather the storm ? Are there better opportunities elsewhere ?

Q: What is the difference between these two ETFS? I own XEC but noticed that VEE has a much higher dividend. Would it be worth swapping as I do like getting income while I wait for growth.
