Q: Gold continues to March ahead for obvious reasons. McEwen mining continues to underperform. We are living through one of the most bullish catalysts for gold producers; yet Mux seems to have lost its way. What will it take to turn this around? Even Rob’s reputation as a shareholder value producer seems to be at risk, Is Mux heading for a further disaster.

Q: Could you give me your thoughts on this company and if you feel it's current price is a good entry point?

Q: If someone stopped you on the street and randomly offered you $1720 US cash or one ounce of gold, which form of wealth would you take? Assume both the cash and gold are real, of equal value, there's nothing suspicious, and that the decision doesn't depend on any special circumstances or conditions or taxes.

Q: Hi 5i, if you could explain what it means the following: I own PAAS, and I also have this stock (PAASF):

Description: RTS PAN AMERN SILVER CORP EXP 2/22/2029 CNTNGNT VALU RT

Average Cost: 0.0000 USD
Market Price: 0.00 USD

I used to own Rio Alto which was merged with Tahoe, and Tahoe was bought by PAAS, Does PAASF had any value? when I try to trade it shows up at $ 0.60.

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I've held B2 Gold for a long time (like 10 or 12 years) and I am sitting on a 110% gain. It's 1.3% of my total equity portfolio and precious metals and PM equities are about 14% of my total investments today. I'm considering selling my BTO and shifting that over to an existing 2.3% position in FNV that I've also held for a long time to bring that up to 3.6%. I'm also wondering if I should continue to diversify into other possible big gainers like WDO or if I should move this money into other names I already own. I'm curious what you think the best move here is?

For information purposes, my Precious Metals positions include:
- 2.65% AEM (held for years)
- 2.4% PHYS (held for years)
- 2.3% FNV (held for years)
- 1.3% BTO (held for years)
- 1.2% KL (held for years)
- 1.1% FVL (added last Thursday)
- 0.9% WM
- 1.0% MAG
- 1.0% SIL

I'm bullish on precious metals and stocks given the monetization of basically everything and therefore have let this part of the portfolio run past the 10% weighting Iimit I used to have but I'm thinking that this sector should probably not be more than 15% of the portfolio and definitely not 20% of the portfolio.

Q: Results seem good, do you agree ?
Roy Sebag, makes 3 points in his comments.
Please explain his third comment, not sure I understand this one.
Thanks for all your help.

Q: Last november I bought a small position (1%) in Tudor Gold as a more speculative complement to a 4% position in KL. I find their assets in the Golden Triangle, BC quite interesting.
KL didn't move much, but TUD more than tripled with the very strong run last week and with quite good volumes as well.
So now I have a total 7.5% gold miner/explorer position. Do you think it's too high in a balanced portfolio?
Do you have an idea what's going on with Tudor? Do you think it would be time to take some profits or letting it grow to 5% is also reasonable?

Thank you,

Q: Hi Peter and team,

Freegold Ventures has absolutely ripped higher the last few days on high volume and is up a lot again today. Any idea what's happening there?

Thanks!

Q: Even with the recent decline, is MMX still one of your favorite small cap gold stocks?
Is the decline due to the Pan American Silver sale of shares and would you suggest buying more at this time?
Thanks
Dave.

Q: Hi Terrific 5i Team,

I would be interested in an update of your view of Great Bear Resources. It was the only stock in my screener that was up today, showing resilience I guess (but low volume trading, so maybe not). It is up since the last time someone asked about it. Has the story progressed ? Thanks !!!

Q: Can you recommend a good US traded small/mid cap gold company with good growth prospects?

Q: What is your opinion of buying FNV at this point in time, as "insurance" from these C-19 effects?
How long of a holding do you think before "good profits" are achieved?
