Q: SVR, CGL, CEF.A
Hello,
I bought quite a bit of Claymore Gold Bullion and Claymore Silver bullion which was later bought out by i-shares. Since my purchases there has been a lot of discussion about "paper" gold and now I am wondering whether the bullion is really in the vault? Do you think dealing with the Central Fund of Canada is more reliable? I am losing some sleep on this so your answer will be appreciated!

Q: GS Gluskin and Scheff.

Does this week's developments (owners selling their shares) alter your opinion of GS as a worthy candidate for one's portfolio? If no, what would you replace it with? If yes, would you back up a small truck and buy more shares?

Thank you for your help; and I hope this finds you enjoying your time in Europe and picking up some new and useful ideas.

Q: hello Peter, You appear to favour Goldcorp (g) as do most investment people. I have done some research on G and it appears to be one of the worst stocks from a shareholder point of view, losing value year after year (its average return over the last 10 years is about 3.5% during which time gold has quadrupled). I am at a loss, can you explain.

Q: Hello Peter and the 5I team

I was wondering if RMP energy was on your radar screens? What do you think of this company? I was considering making it a 3% holding ( my total oil/gas holdings are 13% of total portfolio).
I really appreciate all of your hard work, and I have been spreading the word about your great web site.

Thank you so much.

Q: Hello Peter and the 5I team

I have watched CHD for years and I owned it sometime ago but sold it. I can't remember what I was thinking when I sold it, because I consider this stock a juggernaut. The stock crash of 2008-09 didn't really seem to effect it much. Since then it has done very well. What are your thoughts on this stock? Would you own it at this level? Where do you think this stock is going? I appreciate your thoughts on it.

Thanks

Q: re. Athabasca Minerals (ABM)

What are your thoughts about the lengthy applic'n process to proceed with the development of the frac sand deposit? From your experience has this review process been excessively lengthy (at least 12 mos.)? Ultimately, however, is it a forgone conclusion that the project will be approved? To me this project is a "no-brainer" ... great deposit that is close to infrastructure, strong demand for the product and a mining process that is not any more disruptive to the environment than any of the current open-pit oil sand operations.

Thanks for your input. As usual, I value your insight.

Q: Hi Peter and team:

Tekmira (TKM) seems to have surged quite a bit. Do you know why and is this a buy at current prices? Also what is the news on CCT (catamaran)? Is it a buy at its current value?
