Q: I'm interested in re-entering the gold mining market with central banks around the world are starting to increase their gold reserves. I used own these three names - YRI, BTO, and FNV - in the past. I'm surprised that all three are now dividend payers!

Would you be interested in these three names again at this juncture? Kindly rank them in the order of preference and also please add if there are other gold miner names that I should consider (regardless of yield).

Thanks.

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: 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: Hi 5i,
Thanks for the great work. I’m looking at the precious metal component of my portfolio for tax loss selling opportunities. Can I please ask you opinion on these 5x companies?

Q: Given a competing offer will not be coming and it from my math it seems YRI current price is not really showing any discount (you can take a look) to the current offer, would you suggest its time to move on and look for a replacement. Any suggestions besides AEM/BTO for safer precious metals holdings who are paying a decent dividend.

Q: Why is Gold and related stocks doing badly? Should it not do better in recession or when stock market is tanking and interest rates rising? What are your opinion about the future prospects in near and long term? (My exposure to these is through XGD, FNV and AEM)

Q: Hi 5i team.
about 5 weeks ago sold AEM and FNV for tax loss and bought ABX as a proxy.
Have a 2-3 % weighting in gold.
For a conservative retiree, would you suggest to sell ABX (small gain which is good) and go back to AEM and FNV for longer term holds?
Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i,

I have maybe a rare question for you. I have done quite well with my stock selections (much thanks to you for many of the wise choices) and are sitting on a pool of Capitol Gains. Now, my wife and I are entering the phase of our life where we can make some significant "tax-friendly" charitable donations. Always keeping in mind, saving enough for the rest of our days. Our question is: If you had to sell from the list I provided, and thinking of holding the remainder at least another 10 years, which would you chose to sell a portion of ? Perhaps the top 3, in order of choice ? Thanks so much.
