Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

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

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,

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.
