Q: Since mid 2013 SLW has bounced several times between $20 and $30. I bought it at $20 with the intention of selling at $30, and held on only to land back down at $20. It is approaching $30 again, and I am yet again hesitating over the sell button (not a trader!). Do you see anything different in the stock that might push it up over $30 this time?

Q: I know 5i isn't about the charts or predicting price movements, but the chart of Silver Wheaton SLW from April 2013 to today is shockingly symmetrical. I'm no expert on charts but one would think there's something meaningful in the pattern. The question is, "What happens to the pattern from here?" If the symmetry continues, and looking at a two year chart, the stock is setting up for huge burst to the upside. Any thoughts?

Q: Yesterday there was an article in the National Post authored by Peter entitled Five New Things an Investor should try. In the article owning gold bullion was discussed as a hedge. I have several questions:
-Could silver bullion be substituted even though it is somewhat more volatile? If so could you also use a royalty streamer such as SLW be utilized?
-Instead of hedging with gold bullion could one use a streamer such as Franco Nevada?
- Finally do you believe gold has established bottom or do you believe that there is still sufficient risk to wait until a recovery is more certain? I've been waiting to buy for a number of months now as the price fluctuates between $1150 and $1240/oz.
Thanks

Q: I bought i-shares Silver Trust SLV:NYSE at the end of 2012 on a "timing the market/cyclical pricing play" and subsequently watched the shares sink. They have recovered some ground recently, but is there a better option to play the expected increase in silver prices? Is there a stock that pays a dividend and still has as much chance of growth as SLV, or should I just stick with it?

Q: Hi.
I am very glad I subscribed to your newsletter and read the questions and your comprehensive responses faithfully on a pretty much daily basis.
My question is on silver. I would like to purchase a silver stock or etf that features a heavy silver presence. I only know of silver wheaton, but don't understand the concept involved with this stock. I understand it is not a mine, nor does it own bullion (at least I don't think it does). Many thanks for any recommendations.
