Q: Hi 5i Team - For a long time the benefits of copper as an anti-microbial agent have been known but perhaps not widely. That recognition has been gaining steam as both public transportation systems and hospitals are considering using it in their touch surfaces and elsewhere. Although these innovations are on a small scale at this point, they will likely gain steam as the world seeks to find ways of reducing the transmission of viruses and also bacteria – any form of microbes. Obviously this is a very worthwhile goal! From an investment standpoint could you provide the names of two or three copper producers that you feel have the fundamentals to not only continue to produce copper at current levels but also might have the ability to increase their production. Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter,
I would like your opinion.
I have about a 4% position in Gold and silver stocks and have been planning on doubling towards the end of the month before the seasonal period around Christmas to Chinese new year.
I was also reading today a Bloomberg opinion that calls for an end to the bull run. And the thesis is as follows:
1. The availability of vaccine 2. A republican senate that would put a lid on stimulus spending. 3. A stabilized US dollar perhaps even strengthening. 4. Inflation? Here I may go with a probability more than 50%
Do you think it is appropriate to double position in stock and bullion to 8 percent?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Hello -
My goal is 10% precious metals weighting in my portfolio. I am currently 2% GDXJ and 6% CEF. If I want bullion to be 8%, is it necessary to split that up between CEF and PHYS? Or can the remaining 2% be put into the existing CEF?

Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you give me an update on the fundamentals of Medgold including available cash and insider ownership. Could you also provide any info you can find on average daily volume - there seems to have been a spike in volume recently but I really don't have any reliable data to indicate whether this is truly a substantial increase or not. Given the price I realize this company is pretty close to being in the 'buy a lottery ticket' category but it did have some success a couple of years ago.
Thanks.
Rob

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,
I own above stocks and represent 6% weight in my total portfolio. The stocks have came down a bit with recent weakness on the gold and silver movement. Should I trim down some of the position? I am still in profit but worry that these stocks may go down further. thanks!
