Investment Q&A

Q: Which gold stocks do you like at todays prices? Why?

Q: I have 2% in Aem. I also hold SJ, ccl.b. in the materials sector total 5% in materials.I am considering selling AEM at 75 to lock more than 50% profit..if it touches that limit and would like to invest in another gold stock or AEM itself at a lower price. Do you agree with this strategy? This is a registered account. Or should I just stick with continuing to hold Aem at any price as a hedge? Would you suggest richmont as an alternative or addition? Thanks 5i.

Q: Gold represents a small portion of my portfolio with only 2 holdings – Anglo Eagle Mines (AEM) and Yamana (YRI). I just sold my Yamana to take advantage of the recent bull run in gold which even 5i has stated is getting a bit “long in the tooth”. AEM seems to be your favorite which I plan to keep, but I was looking to swap Yamana for a better name that’s higher on your list either now or on a future dip. What would be your second pick after AEM in the gold space? I’m looking for a mid or large cap that has reasonable leverage to gold but still a strong balance sheet to reasonably withstand any future drops in the price of gold. As an aside, for a person holding only two names would you recommend that one of them be an ETF for instant diversification? or even a bullion fund if perhaps the recent run has put the rise in the miners too far above the bullion price?

Q: My question is companies that will benefit from rising interest rates. I was wondering if you could give me a top three that trades in Canada and a top three that trades in the US...May one ETF too if possible. I understand that rates wont go up over night. I just want to start accumulating now for a 5-7 year hold to wait for rates to rise. I would prefer it if they paid a dividend as well.

Thanks so much
Jimmy

Q: Hi 5i, what are your thoughts on the gold sector moving forward? I do not own any gold stocks currently, but I'd like some exposure up to an appropriate amount. Can you recommend a low risk name and a higher risk name to add? Thanks again. Mark

Q: What would you consider as the best gold producer to buy now?

Q: can you name your top 2-3 choices for gold?

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
Because of the uncertainties in Central Banks' monetary policies, negative yields in some parts of the world and risk of Helicopter economics, I think it is time to get some exposure in Gold; I will start with half a position (2% of my portfolio equally divided among the 3 above.
Your opinion is most valuable
Antoine

Q: Good morning ... obviously both of these stocks have had a nice run up since their recommendation by your team Peter ... I think Agnico will have a negative impact with interest rates , does this apply to SIS also ?? Should I take some profit off the table??TY.

Q: Is it safe to assume that Goldcorp remains your favourite in the Gold space? If not, why and which company would be? Thank-you.

Q: what is your favorite gold company for stock appreciation, i own richmont because of you and have done great, i could add to richmont but my thinking is another gold company might be a better choice. dave

Q: Hello, I sold Goldcorp the other day, and I want to replace it with Agnico. What would you feel would be a decent entry point now? I always seem to get burned by taking positions to soon, only to lose 20+% days later. Or do you feel there is a better up and coming gold company at this time?
Thanks,

Q: Overall I am very happy with the diversity in my portfolio, except for one sector, resources, which I have avoided like the plague for the last six years for obvious reasons. But the tables are turning. Could I ask you for 5 resource stocks for consideration, with dividends if possible.

Thanks!

Q: I currently have no gold exposure & recent action has certainly caught my attention. What is your opinion on Claude Resources?
I am considering an initial combined purchase of AEM, CRJ, and RIC when/if there is a bit of a consolidation or pullback. What would you suggest as an allocation percentage? I've really appreciated reading your unbiased guidance over the years. Many thx, Ron.

Q: Can you give your opinion for a long term hold in the gold sector? Thanks

Q: AEM is up 5.5% today - great! But I see no real compelling reason. Perhaps you can.

Q: HI,

is there any advantage/disadvantage to buying the US listed version of Agnico Eagle.

I am looking for gold exposure and US exposure. Would
I be better advised to look elsewhere for one or the other ?

Q: In an environment where the Canadian dollar strengthens Iam wondering which 3 companies in the Balanced Equity Portfolio are most likely to benefit and which 3 would be least likely?
Many thanks
Mike

Q: Hi,

I have recently thrown in the towel on Goldcorp, and need to replace for gold exposure. I read this morning you have done the same and replaced with AEM. Can you offer some guidance as to why you selected AEM please. Dejardins recently downgraded to a hold with a target lower than yesterday's close, not that I put a lot of stalk in these reviews. Would you get into AEM here? Thanks!

Eric

Q: Would be interested in your view on AEM at this price and time in the market. Thanks,
