Q: The only material stock I own is SIL. Would WPM and CS be good additions to the materials or is there a better stock (s) you would prefer to buy? This is for a rrsp and will not need the fund for 20 years.

Thanks

Q: I listened to Chris's top picks on Market Call a couple weeks ago. One being TSX and another gentleman had mentioned it yesterday as well.
I now see it at times as a recommendation at 5i. Is this a higher conviction profitable investment for 3-5 year time frame after the Aussie additions?
Also do we have any profitable Cobalt miners or an ETF in Canada to invest in?
Thanks in advance. David

Q: Dear Peter:

These are stocks I hold across various accounts. Thanks for suggesting these. I have done well though they have pulled back a bit.

What is your current view on these miners? Add, Hold or Sell some and consolidate? Or would you sell some and add a new miner?

Always appreciate your input.

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Thanks to your words of wisdom, I have done well with these.
The question is if one should control the greed and take some profits or stay the course and let the winners run. I don't need to sell to harvest the profits to live. The position sizes are still reasonable. I can hold them for a few years even.

One faces another dilemma. If I do sell, what should I buy. You have been suggesting that one should wait till the sentiment improves for PRL or GSY or CSU and it's offsprings! I have your favourites in energy! CNQ/TOU/ENB/CVE and such.

Which sector appeals to you going forward?

Should one move to larger players like FNV/WPM/AEM?

Q: Hello Peter
I have WPM , FNV and AEM for gold and precious metals
WPM and FNV are both partial positions

I was told that WPM is like a royalty company and less risks
besides gold, does WPM generates income from silver and copper (the 2 that I like besides gold)
would you add to WPM or FNV or both (equal portion); awaits a pullback
AEM, I hold a full position already, thanks

all that glitters indeed is gold
which have done well last year
(glad that 5i recommends AEM which I hold for a long time, now bearing fruit)
thumbs up

Thanks

Michael

Q: Hi 5i,
Thanks for the great work. I'm a long-time FNV shareholder and WPM is continuing to outperform. How do you view the two companies today? Would you follow momentum and switch from FNV into WPM?

Thank you!

Q: Hi, I originally held sandstorm gold SSL which got taken over by Royal gold. I was thinking of selling the royal gold shares and buying Franco Nevada or Wheaton precious metals to avoid currency risk. I just wanted your thoughts on this and if you were to buy one of them, which one would you suggest? Thank you.
