Q: I hold FNV in my RRIF . WPM seems to be presently performing better and predicted to continue to do so. Dividend

yield is better with WPM and market cap is not an issue. This is my only gold holding. Do you feel a switch is

justified.? Thanks for your help

Q: I own some steel, copper and CCO. Which of these 3 (WPM, DPM, FNV)would you prefer to complement them over the next few years, and why?

Is there a better alternative than the ones I've listed?

Q: Hi,

I have about 8% of my portfolio in WPM, LUN, DPM and FCX. Wondering if you think I should add 3% in steel?

If so, which US or CDN companies would you recommend? STDL seems to have the best long term returns but I've heard their earning are expected to go down next year?

Q: I hold FNV, KRR and AEM for gold exposure. I am thinking of selling FNV after the news related to their royalty stream in Panama. How material is this for FNV? Do you feel this will be an overhang on the stock in the next few months? I am hopeful for a little run in gold in the next few months and i am concerned FNV will not participate due to this news. If selling FNV, what do you recommend to compliment my other 2 holdings?

Q: With you getting rid of MMX from your model portfolio, what replacement for gold exposure would you prefer? I like the royalty model.
Read Answer Asked by Max on December 15, 2022
Q: Currently reviewing my precious metals exposure. In my royalty companies I have a full position in FNV and MMX. Would you hold MMX with the pending purchase by TFPM or would you sell and buy WPM at this time? In my gold miners, I have half positions in VGCX and NEM (position resulted from the Goldcorp merger), should either be sold and if so, would you purchase AEM? Any further thoughts on the precious metals exposure would be appreciated.

Q: I have ample gold exposure--mining, bullion and FNV (stream). I am considering diversifying within adjacent sectors like silver and rare earths. I am considering selling FNV and buying something else (maybe something like WPM for the added silver exposure). What options would you look at for this move?

Q: Apparently the US military and govt are looking to invest some funds towards funding projects in Canada for rare minerals, in an effort to reduce the dependency on China for critical minerals.
Can you suggest any Canadian companies or an ETF that may benefit from this.

Q: Can you suggest a safe proxy for WPM to do some tax loss selling? I already have a full position in FNV. I would prefer to stay with a streamer to avoid miner risk. Geographic risk also seems to be a concern with current geopolitical flux.

Thanks

Q: Freehold is an oil & gas royalty streaming company. Was there not at one time a competitor to them? Can you name the other oil/gas streaming companies.
Also - the names of the gold/silver streamers - thank you.

Q: Can you do a quick compare/contrast for these 3?
Do you place more emphasis on royalty or stream approach?
I was leaning towards SSL, on a 5+ year chart it is below the others, could it "catch up"?

Thanks,
TJ

Q: My advisor is suggesting I buy a position in WPM - would you have an opinion if WPM is a better choice than FNV? He did not mention FNV as an option - just knowing they are both streaming companies which would you pick?

Thank
