Q: Barrick gold share price has been declining along with gold price . Would you be in favor to buy this gold miner company for portfolio diversification at this time and in this volatile investment environment? II have no gold or gold equivalent asset in my portfolio.

Thanks for your opinion in this matter.

Q: I put 8-10% of my portfolio in gold, not as a trading play but as a kind of insurance.

I've been wanting to divide this between gold and bitcoin, using the funds above which you seem to prefer.

So far, bitcoin has been too expensive to convert half the gold. I'm wondering now if the price is right.

Also, please let me know whether you still think it's a good policy. It's mostly based on my interpretation of your advice over the years, but I'd like to confirm.
