Investment Q&A

Q: Hello. Gold and gold stocks have had a nice run. Do you think this move still has legs? If so, would CGL and XGD be good investments or are there others which you prefer?

Thank you.

Q: If the American dollar drops significantly what effect on price of Phys.to

Q: Just few more covered call gold ETF questions and I promise to stop flogging this horse and make a decision ..... Of the five ETF's 5i recommended { AMAX, CGXF,BASE,GLCC,GDXY } Could 5i give me the return, unit price gain/loss plus dividends for each ETF as a percentage ? .... As both AMAX and GDXY have only been around a year just go back for that period of time for each one. This will be long enough for me to assess as I am looking for gold volatility pre and post Trump's election.....

I notice all have an upward trend except GDXY. Could 5i speculate on the reason why ? Of course the question is does that 32.5% dividend more than make up for it ? I should be able to see that by your evaluations of returns for the other ETF's in comparison ......

And finally, hypothetically, if 5i were forced to choose one or two of these to " hide " in while assessing just exactly how bad Trump is going to make things for Canada . Which would be your two favorites, first and second, and why ? ...... Thanks for your terrific service ..... Garth .....

Q: Are there any 'undervalued' silver stocks?Thanks.

Q: Copper seems like it's going to be in high demand. There's also tariff possibilities. If you had a choice to invest in copper today with a 2-3 year horizon, would you do it? Any suggestions on growth companies? Thanks.

Q: NDM (Northern Dynasty Minerals) has recently seen price increases. After reviewing previous Q/A, I notice NDM has a lot of controversy. Have those problems of the past been resolved enough to justify the market's current price? Do you think it's buyable, or still too speculative?

Q: Can , you give me your take on CIA ,I am down 28% should I buy more, what seems to be the problem is the crazy politics.

Thank you
James Allore.

Q: Just a little more clarification on my question on GDXY . First what is a " synthetic call/write strategy " ? I suspect understanding that will help me understand the very large 32.5% yield ......And second the only GDX gold stock I can find is a 5 cent stock Goldex Resources Corporation ? Which I don't find encouraging for a purchase of GDXY . Could you elaborate on the relationship ? ..... Or if I have the wrong company point me in the direction of the right stock symbol ? .... Thanks again for your terrific service ......

Q: Thoughts on MAG earnings and given they just introduced what looks like a sizeable dividend? Would you rate it higher than the other medium/large silver producers like PAAS now?

Q: Thank you for your list of available covered call ETF's . A bit to unpack here . Could 5i give me some assistance doing it ? .....

The current Yield of each ?

The structure of each ? .... { for example part of your answer was " GDXY may be of interest. " I'm assuming some leverage here as the yield shown in TD Waterhouse is 29% . How much leverage ? And what is the structure of this and the other ETF's ? }

The risk profile of each ? ...... { for example on the Yieldmax website they outright tell you GDXY is high risk . I would like to know why and what that risk is ? And a similar assessment for each ETF recommended ? }

Also if 5i were going to hide in some high yield covered call gold ETF's until after April 2/25 { tariff day } and likely longer as I'm convinced it isn't going to be a good year for Canada. Put a numerical value for each ETF listed from one to ten with one being most favored and ten being least favored and why ?

Also if there are any tax consequences inside a RRIF ?

Thank you for your terrific service .....

Q: Orla stock dumped on Friday. I wonder if gold stocks have seem their best growth? I have about 7-8% in gold and wonder if that's too much? Which of these would you sell first. Orla has mad the most money?

Q: Could 5i give a list of the various covered call gold ETF's offered and their yields ? Canadian and/or American ...... The only one I am aware of is AMAX on the Hamilton website. The yield is indicated at 9.52% but it always says that no matter what the daily unit price is. So if you could update the yield based on current unit price it would be appreciated ? .....Also are there any enhanced yield gold ETF's and if so their targeted yield ? Thanks for your terrific service . Garth

Q: Given CIBC downgrade of LUG today do you see this as indicator that some of the bigger names in gold will consolidate for a while? Might it be time to adjust the mix of gold holdings?

Thank you for all your help,

Mike

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Across all portfolios, we are under-represented in the gold sector, having only a small holding in the CGL.C ETF,

If investing today, in what order would you put new money into the three stocks AEM, FNV, and WPM, or is there a case to be made to invest equal amounts in all three, assuming there's no significant overlap?

As always, thanks for your assistance in making an informed decision.

Why is McEwen Mining falling like a rock today? Thank you

Q: Hi Guys!

I see CCJ is once again inching up (about 10% in a few weeks).

Could you give me your thoughts on the company right now and Uranium? Do think it’s ready to pop back up to what many say will be in the 70.00 US range?

Ok thank you!

Q: In what order would you buy the companies indicated if you were looking to set up a basket of gold companies that have the most upside capital gains potential?

If different, in what order would you buy them if overall high quality was the criteria?

Q: Aclara Resources Inc recently raised US$25m at C$.70
