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.

What would you think of selling part of my NEM investment to buy Barrick.

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

Thank you

Q: Would appreciate your advice on ranking our material sector holdings with the goal of consolidating those with the highest conviction. Would you suggest others in this sector that could be added - such as NTR.

Q: Hi 5i, my portfolio is lite on material stocks. In Canada I do own AEM, NTR and Russel as these have a dividend. Can you suggest some Materials that trade on the NYSE that have a decent dividend. Your help is appreciated.

Q: Hi there, thanks for your answer regarding WGX. Follow up;

Are the shares currently trading at a fair price, cheap, etc? Can you provide ratios to support your views?

Your thoughts on not hedging at this point?

Your thoughts on current management/board?

Could WGX be a takeover target itself here?

Any two/three company ideas as to who would benefit taking them over?

Is the momentum for gold strong enough to break through $3K? Or could it fall sharply next week based on the US election results, your thoughts would be appreciated?

Thanks!

Q: Record(?) or near-record free cash flow of $760M, $2B in additional buybacks announced. Bought back ~$750M of stock since Feb 2024 (~2% of shares outstanding). Gold currently ~$300/oz higher than their average selling price in Q3 of $2518. Surely slightly higher costs aren't that important in the context of the gold price being so strong and the large buybacks.

The old adage is to date the mining companies and marry the royalty companies. Is now a good entry to start dating Newmont?

Q: Your thoughts on earnings please.

Do you have a preference for holding this in CAD vs USD?

Which would do better in a market 'event' in which investors rush to buy USD for safety. Would the CAD shares do better on a relative basis to the USD shares?

Thanks!T

Q: Is there an opportunity to start a position at these levels? Gold has been strong for ~6 months and the share price on Newmont has been very weak considering that. I know they made an acquisition of Newcrest last year, was there an issue with that acquisition or is there something else at play keeping shares weak?

Given the notable monthly and quarterly closing price of gold last week, it seems like Newmont shares have solid potential upside from here. If you aren't keen on NEM, is AEM the preferred alternative or is there another gold miner you like?

Thanks!

Q: Hi there, can you comment on the merits of KRR's news today?

Can you add any further information on Ramelius, its size, quality of assets, financials, etc?

Would this be a good fit for KRR scaling up, if it happens?

Any other rumors/speculation out there of someone else jumping in for KRR or other possibilities you feel would be better for KRR, your thoughts would be appreciated?

Thanks!

Q: This is a company you have recommended in the past. I see now you feel it is a sell. Is there no chance for a turn around if one is a patient investor or is it at risk now of going out of business? If you can please describe what is happening with this company and their plans it would be most appreciated. Thank you!

Q: Hi, can you recommend 2 US and 2 CDN metal stocks for a long term hold to total a 8% total position in metals? I'm ok with medium risk. If you have other choices besides the ones I've mentioned (CMC, FCX,CCO, RS, STLD, AMR) please suggest them.

Q: Thanks for answereing my question on AEM. I share your negativity towards this report.

Do you still like gold representation in the portfolio given whats happening to interest rates, the US $ etc.

If yes, what would you replace AEM with in the portfolio. My intent will be to sell it today.

Thanks
