Q: My first impression of 5i is a positive one. My hope is that you don't try to be all things to all people by covering every hole in the ground with a ticker symbol. I like your focus on solid, dividend paying small or mid caps. My question is on Constellation (CSU) -- what do you think of the stock at current prices? Thanks for your comments.

Q: Hi Peter. Keep up the excellent work. I am interested in starting to accumulate a position in gold/silver bullion. I was looking at Central Fund of Canada (CEF.A.TO). As far as I know, it is a closed-end fund which is equally weighted between gold & silver and has typically traded for a 5-10% premium to net asset value. Today, it is available for a 2% discount to net asset value (which I assume is because investor sentiment is just brutal). Do you generally like closed-end bullion funds like this one or would you prefer the open-ended bullion funds like GLD & SLV instead? I must admit the gold bugs have got me worried about the open-ended ones as they question whether you can be certain the etf is really backed by physical bullion. Do you think that is a legitimate concern or something not to worry about?

Thanks
Anthony

Q: Your thoughts on Madalena Ventures (MVN-V)? They announced a bought deal in Feb. at $1.25 and recent news in Argentina nationalizing parts of the oil industry is obviously bad news. That being said, it appears they have great assets, have satisfied the requirements of the ARG government and are close to profitability. Does this look like a good entry point in the low $0.40's?

Q: Hi Peter and group, regarding your response about WIN on May 9th; do you have an update from the company yet?

"The company has responded to us, but only to say they will provide an answer in a few days. Thank you for your patience"

Also, is there a posibility that 5i members can get your favorite 'quarterly' buy, hold and sell picks on junior and midcap companies for various categories such as oil and gas, golds, metals and minerals, etc...maybe a new area for 5i to expand into? Could be a very simple rating signal of buy, hold and sell...honest advice from an honest guy/company that members can really trust!

I bought a bunch of Spartan Oil, STO, Pinecrest, PRY, Novus, NVS and New Millenium, NML a while back and still holding onto all of them but having a real tough time getting good honest advise about whether to continue to hold or to sell these companies!!!

Thanks much, Hussein

Q: Do you have any experience/knowledge regarding forfeited mining claims and their subsequent scoop by a different company? I ask because I've been following Rye Patch Gold (RPM). Coeur d'Alene Mines failed/forgot to pay their mandatory annual mining maintenance fees in Nevada. Rye Patch applied for them after about 2 months of waiting. Would appreciate your thoughts on the matter.

Q: Hi Peter. I started looking into some of the other restaurant royalties after following your recommendations on A&W (6.5% yield) and Boston Pizza (6.9% yield). I found a few others with even better yields like 8.5% from Second Cup Royalty (SCU) and 9.0% from Sir Royalty (SRV.UN). Are you as familiar with these names and would you count these as worthy of investment as well?

Many thanks,
Anthony
