Q: I'm a little upset with the Fact that Newmont, after such a year in gold, has decided to only increase its dividend by 1%.

I understand that they'll need the money to probably buy Barrick american asset.

Since NEM in on the US side of my porte-feuille, what would you think of replacing this investment by Royalgold?

For other robotics and automation stocks and broader ETFs what would your suggestions be ? I am currently in ROBO how does it compare to the others?

Q: I have done a little bit of work on Orla Mining. It came on my radar when I saw their heaps of paydirt at the Camino Rojo mine in Zacatecas, Mexico (You can see the operation from the highway that connects Saltillo with the city of Zacatecas). That mine seems to have very low operating costs and even a partial pitwall collapse last year did not seem to hurt ORLA too much. What I didn't know is that they bought the Musselwhite Gold mine north of Thunder Bay from Newmont. Apparently Newmont wasn't interested in Musselwhite (too small for them) so there was very little capital spent at that mine. Orla saw potential at Musselwhite, bought the mine and started to invest. The processing plant at Musselwhite was running way below name plate capacity due to a lack of mined ore Orla has located more ore and has been using the mill at a much higher capacity and low and behold they are making money. To me that demonstrated a smart management team. And since Orla is now a two mine miner (with one mine in Canada and the other in Mexico) I am considering a position in ORLA. But what is your opinion of Orla and if you were to do a deeper dive on Orla what would you be looking for/at?

Q: Hi,

I am looking at investing new cash and at this time wish to purchase non-US and non-Canadian companies. I know you don’t typically cover the non-North American markets but you have frequently commented on GRMN, NBIS and ASML.

Would you have any other suggestions for outside NA equities, regardless of sector, that represent good long-term potential total returns?

Thank you, Michael

Q: I have a fairly large chunk of US cash invested in a 'High-Interest Savings Account' which earns 3.15% interest. The interest has not kept up with the loss in value of the US dollar. Can you suggest a similar kind of investment based on Euros or Swiss Francs which can be purchased through TD Direct? Or do you have a better low-risk idea for this money? (I am pessimistic about both the USD and CAD keeping their value against other currencies.)

Q: Can you elaborate on why you prefer Micron over Hynix? I've seen some others prefer Hynix since apparently they are at much lower valuation for similar growth metrics? Is it due to more comfort with a US company? Or correct me on my above statement as needed.
