Q: The price of Gold reversed today after touching an all time high of $3500 and closed lower, below $3400, in Tuesday's session. Gold miners also followed suit and reversed course mid day to close lower, after opening higher at the open. Do you think, this price action is important from technical perspective and signalling a near term Top for Gold ?

Today's comments from the US Treasury Secretary appear to have triggered a relief rally in equity markets and perhaps was one of the reasons, Gold/Gold equities ( safe haven) performed poorly.

Are you concerned with this price action and would recommend cutting Gold exposure ?

Thank You

Q: Would you please provide your top four precious metal investments in relatively safe jurisdictions? I already hold PAAS, AEM, FNV and a small amount of bullion. I would like to diversify a little more in this sector.
Would you recommend waiting for a dip in price?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: Hi,

We could very well be heading into stagflation, which I understand to be slowing or negative growth, high unemployment, weak demand and rising inflation.

In such a scenario, which would be the best stocks or ETFs to favour ?

Many thanks,

Jacques IDS

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Across all portfolios, we are under-represented in the gold sector, having only a small holding in the CGL.C ETF,

If investing today, in what order would you put new money into the three stocks AEM, FNV, and WPM, or is there a case to be made to invest equal amounts in all three, assuming there's no significant overlap?

As always, thanks for your assistance in making an informed decision.

Q: In what order would you buy the companies indicated if you were looking to set up a basket of gold companies that have the most upside capital gains potential?

If different, in what order would you buy them if overall high quality was the criteria?

Q: I hold WPM and have always preferred it as a senior precious metals royalty play as I think it has the largest silver exposure and I expect silver to catch up at some point soon. I'm considering now whether I should split my position between WPM and FNV as recent news suggests Panama may start talks to perhaps re-open the Cobre Panama mine and FNV would likely have alot of extra upside in that case over time if it happens. How do the 2 compare valuation wise against each other, what are your thoughts on both.

Q: Currentlly my portfolio in gold consists of 3 holdings. They are :

AEM - YTD + 20%, 1 YR + 90%

NUGT - YTD + 34% 1YR + 67%

WGX - YTD - 8% N/A

As you can see the weed in the portfolio is wgx.

Question to you is when I prune WGX out of the portfolio should I just put that money into the other 2 holdings or should I add a third that is an elite performer.

What would be the best from a portfolio management perspective and if you decided to add a third what would it be?

Sheldon

PS Don't worry about NUGT I know the ins and out and have made lots of money on these leveraged ETF's like NUGT, QLD, NAIL, etc

Thanks

Q: Can I get your thoughts on Capstone please? Seems to keep dropping and now with talk of tariffs and maybe smaller AI infrastructure, it’s not looking great. Would you still hold here? If not, do you have another recommendation for materials sector? CAD or US? My only other one in this sector is Agnico Eagle.

Q: Merry Christmas! I wish you all the best and a very prosperous year ahead.

With the latest canadian data and of course added political turmoil here. And rates abroad and our neighbors.

It would appear gold will have room to run still. If you do agree I'd like to know.

I'm looking at adding that exposure as I have none with the recent pull back.

My favorite candidates are AEM, WPM.
Would you please provide a reasonable buy range and if anyone is ranked above them in your mind, please mention.

Thank you very much.

Q: Gentlemen:
This is a two part question. I have been holding a large number of B2 gold shares for 12 years, and it has been a disgrace. In your opinion is there any light at the end of the tunnel? Second Part--- Of the above companies( In an OCT 31 question from Maurice, you thought AGI and LUG had the best growth potential ), would that still be your opinion. Please rank them for growth at this date-BEST FIRST. Also please rank them for RISK- LEAST to most. THANKS, BEN.

Q: In a best case scenario, I think 4 years of Donald Trump in power will be chaotic and discruptive in the US and globally. In a worst case, I believe the US is heading for internal unrest/violence, and the certain parts of the globe will be at war. If you were a 74 year old investor who has done well listening to 5i the last 2 years, how would you now hedge against these scenarios?
