Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi 5i, What are your thoughts on silver vs gold at this time? Looks like silver has lagged gold, not sure what the historical difference is. I also feel if this onshoring, electrification theme continues then silver might start to run, more than it has. Please provide a few Canadian etfs and stocks you think might participate. Lastly, gold, does it have room to continue to run as it appears a devaluation of the greenback is likely to continue. Thx.

Q: Could I ask you to please suggest a half dozen or more equity based inflation protection ideas, perhaps mostly individual stocks and a couple of ETFs, CDN and/or US. Does CME-Q fit the bill at all?
Thanks.

Q: I've recently moved 10% of my portfolio into gold/silver miners HL FVI CXB DSV FVL
What's your top five high/medium risk junior miners as I'm not opposed to switching? I'm thinking high grade deposits are most attractive since they will be scooped up first by the majors.

Q: I have a diversified equity portfolio (60 positions across most sectors, tilted towards higher quality equities, with overall ~5% gold equity allocation (XGD, FNV, AEM). I am interested in a single silver equity pick to comprise about 1% of overall equity portfolio. First, is this a reasonable plan in current investment environment? Second, which security would be a reasonable choice (based on investment newsletters I receive, I am considering one of SIL, PAAS, HL, or SLV; all NYSE). Feel free to suggest another security, if you favor another.
