Q: Has the objectives of Silver Wheaton changed since re-naming to Wheaton Precious Metals? And is it necessary to own both silver and gold from the perspective of a precious metals hedge against risk? I have WPM at a loss and considering selling for tax reasons, and deciding between a shift to SSO or topping up on FNV or AEM.

Q: Hello Folks:
I have owned GE in our portfolio for a number of years however am disenchanted with it's performance, and have limited hope of a shorter term fix, because of it's complexity and size. I do not own any teck stocks and considering google or microsoft. Allowing I am 70 years of age would I be foolish to go with google, even with it not having a dividend. I feel google has much more upside.
Thanks for everything
brian
