Q: You have commented that some sort of position in gold is probably a good idea, akin to having some insurance in the event of a significant economic upheaval. Would you want to have HGY or HUG for this purpose?
Can you provide some analysis about them?
They started over 10 years ago, yet has a market cap of $67 and $57 million million. Why have they not grown?
Is its average volume of 16,000 and 3,000,. is there a concern with liquidity?
Last, BMO Investorline indicates a yield over 6% for HGY. Is any of this return of capital?
thank you for your excellent service
