Q: Greetings,

ZDC

1) The inclusion price into the 5i portfolio was $2.15 so congratulations on that pick!
However, has ZDC run out of steam or would you say it's temporary?

2) Do you think inclusion into a 5i portfolio immediately adds momentum to a stock?

3) Am I missing something but it seems to me, the company is a "one trick pony" with not much of a moat. What's the appeal here?

Many thanks!

Q: Let’s say you’ve done well on gold, with a combination of miner (AEM, WPM) and bullion exposure (PHYS).
You see that gold has had a “parabolic” rise as 5i mentioned in a recent response. But still believe in the story and want to retain gold exposure.
You’re comfortable with position sizing.
With where the market is today, would you do nothing (keep a roughly 50/50 miner/bullion split) or move to overweight bullion to lock in some gains (on the theory that miners are leveraged to the downside as well as upside so if gold drops the miners would drop harder)?

Q: In a response to Howard today about ENB, you refer to US oil companies viewing Venezuelan oil as "investible", while I think Exxon referred to it as "UNinvestible". That's a big difference. Was it only Exxon that had concerns?
Thank-you

Q: Hi Team,
I was thinking of trimming my large position of Shop to buy some Grid. Return potential wise for say a 10yr period is this a feasible idea? My thoughts are that Grid being so much smaller might have more multi bag potential than shop at its current mega cap status.

Thanks,
Shane

Q: Hello, The Sprott Physical Silver Trust quotes in USD, but when you go to buy on the TSX it converts to CAD. If you don't have a USD account, then the order execution is in CAD funds, etc. Do you foresee this as an issue, or do you only recommend this fund if buying in USD. Is there a separation with the fund for USD and CAD denominated holdings. What is your recommendation on method to buy this fund. I did buy a position already in the CAD converted option.
