Q: Looks like they have missed earnings again. This time on record sales they still managed to have a pretty big miss. I have owned for a year and a half and the stock has been pretty disappointing. I know you guys have been very high on this name in the past. Is the investment thesis still intact. Does this just require more time or is it time to look for a substitute?

Q: Good afternoon,

Looking to see if there is a reason for the decline in Saputo today? The secondary offering settled yesterday- not sure how/why this would be germane, but hoping you can provide some insights.

Thanks

Q: Hi Team,

I have a slightly overweight position in Franco Nevada, a half position in each of Agnico Eagle and Klondex, less than a half position in Silver Wheaton and bullion holdings including CEF.A.

I am trying to clean up a bit and am considering selling SLW and adding the proceeds to CEF.A, and selling KDX and adding the proceeds to AEM. I would be left with FNV, AEM and bullion as a result.

This would allow me to increase my weighting in bullion and reduce my weighting in bullion equities and move to full positions (or so) in the remaining holdings.

Do you have any feedback on this plan?

Thank you, Michael.

Q: Are there any public companies out there with a good foothold in the graphene development market? I read that it's going to be the super material of the future, but that it's early days still. A recent story about new battery technology based on graphene that can be charged in seconds and last for weeks has tweaked my interest in this material.

Q: Hello,

The current theme is that REITS and utilities will be drifting lower now with Trump spending announcements and higher interest rates on the horizon. Yet, yesterday (some) REITS had a good jump up. My questions are:
1. Would you hold buying REITS and utilities until there is clear direction of the market?
2. If you wanting to deploy 50K for each (REITS and utilities) what would be your preferred names?

Thank you
M
