Q: Viewing the latest results from AR,for Q4,and the full year 2020,may I say that this company is firing on all cylinders, delivering and looking even cheaper and perhaps "overlooked" by the market.
With inflation fears on the horizon can one say that AR is grossly undervalued and could be taken over?
Many thanks,
Jean

Q: With gold lagging as bitcoin continues towards the heavens, with someone with the common sense of a Josh Brown as well as the mavens of Berkshire selling their Barrick, with a spike in long term rates and a weaker US dollar, and finally with a potential breakdown in gold being close according to technical analysts I've heard, what is your opinion on 1. where the price of gold might be headed over the rest of 2021 and 2. whether the strength of its hedging power may be waning and 3. whether your opinion that bitcoin needn't be part of a portfolio has changed and 4. whether perhaps a move into a combination of silver and some crypto might provide a better portfolio hedge at this time versus gold. Thanks as always for your thoughts - Ken

Q: A blogger I have followed for some time always warns his readers about gold and silver option expiration on the Comex as he did for Tuesday's expiration. Far more often than not the metals experience downside pressure, sometimes significant. Can you explain why option expiration invites such downside volatility?

Q: Hello 5i Team. First of all thanks for the report on MG. I bought a nice position and the next day saw it go up by >9%. Cheers to you for that!

I have a question for you about two metals stocks I held in December but sold to pursue a bigger stake in FCC which has paid off nicely. Now that I am adding more to RRSP for income tax purposes I am looking at getting back into some metals or mining stocks.

I sold XBM at 16.02 in December and now see it at 18.00, would you buy at this price? I sold KNT at $8.49 and now it's on sale for $6.56. Any recommendations to get back into either stock or alternatives in the metals sector? My investment timeframe is 20+ years and medium risk. Thanks.

Q: What are your thoughts on FCX/FM long term (any favourites?) I currently own FCX and ZMT.
Is 5i bullish on copper? If yes, what are your favourite ways to play it for a long-term hold. Are the names above reasonable?

Q: This company appears to be doing well (recent results and dividend increase) and the stock has climbed significantly in the last number of months. It makes up about 4% of my overall portfolio (which is significantly overweight in technology). Would this continue to be a strong candidate for accumulation in its sector or would you prefer others?

Q: Hello Peter and Team,

I am curious about your opinion regarding Silver. I attempted sorting through questions as I am sure there are many which have been asked but that is fairly time consuming. If you could, please either steer me in the right direction regarding questions which may have been asked and or provide me your opinion as an answer to this question. And also, which companies you would consider a good addition to a portfolio if you do in fact consider Silver as a good addition to a portfolio at this time.

Thanks for all you do
