Q: Hi 5i Team,

My expectation is that the CAD will continue to weaken based on many factors including the trade war, weak economy and continual decrease in interest rates and that there will be good opportunities in the resource sector for companies that have assets based in Canada but sell their their commodity in USD (ie companies like AEM have or CNQ). Would you agree with this thesis? If so, what other resource companies would fit this profile?

Thanks as always,
Jon

Q: Currentlly my portfolio in gold consists of 3 holdings. They are :

AEM - YTD + 20%, 1 YR + 90%

NUGT - YTD + 34% 1YR + 67%

WGX - YTD - 8% N/A

As you can see the weed in the portfolio is wgx.

Question to you is when I prune WGX out of the portfolio should I just put that money into the other 2 holdings or should I add a third that is an elite performer.

What would be the best from a portfolio management perspective and if you decided to add a third what would it be?

Sheldon

PS Don't worry about NUGT I know the ins and out and have made lots of money on these leveraged ETF's like NUGT, QLD, NAIL, etc

Thanks

Q: I think my question was more related to, do you agree that GLCC was so much better than AEM.
