Q: The way things look right now, it is difficult to see how energy and materials (mining) won’t play a major role in keeping Canada afloat. It seems we have things the world needs/wants if we can get over our distaste for being prosperous. I’m wondering if you can suggest some “pick and shovel” plays in the space generally?

Q: I am somewhat overweight in gold and thinking of starting a rotation away as buyers keep flooding in. Gradual rotation since longterm support for gold still looks good. Which of the above would start with (assuming half positions are kept for now)?

Q: I'm interested in joining the gold rush, but have no insight on specific gold stocks. Would you be able recommend the names of three gold ETFs that I can check out? Better still, would you be able to suggest three top gold stocks as well? Thanks.

Q: Can I get your general thoughts about gold and silver please. Broadly speaking gold is in a fairly new bull market, which tend to last many years once they start. Silver is just about to print its highest quarterly close ever (45 years in the making), and is within striking distance of all time highs.

For the last ~15 years it's been a fools errand to have much exposure to the sector, what do you think is an appropriate weighting for precious metals? Are you bullish on gold and silver?

What are your top 3 picks for gold exposure, and top 3 for silver exposure? Thanks!

Q: Good morning- I notice that in recent questions about gold companies, EQX is not amongst your favourites. I hold EQX and AEM. Would I be better off selling EQX and either adding to AEM or a different company? If so, which do you suggest? Many thanks

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team,

I need to raise some cash and plan to sell/reduce in a non-registered account to accomplish this. Of the stocks and ETFs addressed in this question, please rank them in the order that YOU would sell/reduce, starting with the ones to sell/reduce first. If any holdings are an outright sell, please indicate. For example, we've held BYD for a long time and have a decent gain, but it's short-term performance has faltered somewhat.

As always, thanks for your insight.

Q: Dear Peter et al:

I hold 2 out of 3 of your favourite Gold stocks. (AEM&FNV.) Didn't pull the trigger on WPM your other favourite Gold stock, on a timely fashion,

My question is this: Would you buy WPM now OR would you buy a mid cap/Junior Golds at this stage. What are your favourites in Mid/Junior tier Golds? (Similar to AEM/FNV/WPM)
The plan is hold these stocks till the deficit mess is at least partially controlled in the US. Judging by your various answers, you are still comfortable with Gold 5-10%. Hence this question.

Many thanks in advance.

Q: Ross Healy, who typically does not make sensational statements lightly, spooked me yesterday during a podcast interview with Amber Kanwar. He sees tech stocks dropping 60% which will invariably pull other types of stocks down for the ride. He suggests moving to gold... could you suggest a couple gold stocks with strong balance sheets? A mix of large, mid and small caps would be great. Thanks!

Q: Hi,

I bought these two stocks at the same time, last March.
The Cdn WPM gained 17% since, while the U.S. WPM gained more than 22%. Could you explain why ?

Thus, in considering buying SKE, is it better to use the U.S. market ?

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

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
