Q: Dear Peter et al:

"Rumblings" by YouTubers suggest that Silver's top is fast approaching. 100$ seems to be "magical" figure. Some are suggesting to "lighten" up. I have the above mentioned favorites of yours. (Didn't get CDE/HL) I have done well with ALL of your Gold/Silver choices.
The question is if one should stay put or "lighten" up as others seem to say. I am an investor and NOT a trader.

P.S. Reading your answers I get the impression that you seem to think that there is some ways to go up in commodities. Hope I am not wrong in my interpretation.

Q: Peter, as a speculative stock would you buy, hold or sell ALTA? When will they produce gold/silver? Thank you.

Q: The usual adage with a spike in precious metals is that senior miners follow the metal, and last to the party are the junior miners. Can you name 2-3 speculative junior miners heavily leveraged to the price of silver?

Q: Copper has shown a remarkable run, over past 6-9 months and Technical analysts like the move, and believe. it has lot more room to go, after almost a 10 year consolidation.

We took an exposure to Copper, through Hudbay Minerals, with an initial 1% position, during the pull back earlier this week.

What are your thoughts on the commodity/miners and what would be a reasonable weighting in a portfolio similar to 5i Balanced ?

Dou you like HBM ? Or, you would prefer to have Copper exposure through COPX, or any Large/Mid Cap Canadian names and why ?

Thank You

Q: I'm looking for midsize copper producers in relatively safe jurisdictions. I currently own small positions in TECK, TKO and ERO. I would like to add three or four to give more diversity in my holdings. Would you please list recommendations in order of priority?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: Someone asked a question about Taesko TKO mining the other day especially they asked about valuation. Your comment was that it trades at a very high PE and that Lundin Mining was perhaps a better pick. I agree with both of your comment but I think it is important to note that TKO is on the verge of transitioning from a 1 operating mine miner to a miner with two operating mines. The Florencia mine in Arizona is in the start up phase. Florencia is one of the world's first solution mines for copper (kind of like SAGD from the heavy oil industry). Solution is pumped underground, it dissolves (perhaps that is not the correct technical term) the host rock and another well collects the dissolved solution and brings it to the surface where the copper is stripped out of the solution (I believe the solution is then reused). The end product copper needs very little processing (no electrowinning at least). IFFF this new mining system works as well as the pilot plantw orked then the copper production costs are supposed to be very low. That is one of the reasons, along with high copper prices, that TKO has been on a solid uptrend lately. So there are valid reasons why TKO might deserve a seemingly high valuation. But I agree with you that Lundin is the better/safer copper miner so I have a good position in Lundin and a much smaller, more speculative position in TKO> Just a little extra color on TKO story.

Q: Is TKO overvalued at it is current price. Is there other copper miners that you prefer. Thanks for expertise.

Q: Canada Nickel is on a tear with recent announcement from the Ontario government. Four years ago it was close to $4.00. Now that the prediction is to have shovels in the ground by the end of the year can you see this company breaking through $4.00 even though it is pre-revenue? And if owned a lot of shares would you let them ride?

Q: Could you comment on Rio Tinto's potential merger with Glencore, and the market's negative reaction on RIO stock?
Thanks

Q: Looking for a CDN $ etf covering uranium - including physical commodity, miners, and companies involved in associated technologies. URA seems to fit the bill but is traded in US $. Is HURA the same -? Looking at both websites, I get the impression there may be differences but it's not completely clear. Can you confirm that it is or is very similar ? If not, do you still feel it would be a good choice or would you recommend another CDN $ traded ETF ?
Many thanks as always.
