Q: Hi 5i,
I have held BTO for some time in a RRSP & up ~9% and like this company for gold exposure. Noticed it continues to sell off causing the dividend % to look more attractive in a Non-Registered Account. My question is would BTO be better in Non-Registered Account to collect the dividend tax credit and leave the option open for a tax loss selling if BTO continues to slide. In past market corrections I always would have rather had cash sitting in a Registered Account vs non-registered since tax losses are non-applicable and it takes so long to earn back any booked registered losses. To be safe should I sell the gain off in the register account & wait the full 2 days to settle prior to rebuying in a non-registered account (want to ensure I do not disqualify any possible future tax losses).

Q: Hi team,
What are the underlying reasons for gold to be so volatile lately? Would the money flow going into bitcoin one reason? As for argonaut gold the Magino mine project going ahead late January combined with high gold prices in the last quarter could be a catalyst.Are you still positive long term on this company?
many thanks,
Jean

Q: Do you have any thoughts on this company? Looks like things are finally ramping up and they will be producing gold very shortly (albeit small amounts). I understand it is a very tiny company at present but if the estimates the company is presenting are anywhere near accurate it seems like there is opportunity here? Their extraction tech, if viable, also seems interesting from an ESG slant. Thank you for your thoughts. Happy New Year to the 5i team!

Q: Hi 5i:

Great advice in2020! Wonderful service. I currently hold KL and ABX at @ 2.5% of portfolio. Looking to add a junior producer to increase my weighting. Which would you prefer from EQX, WDO and BTO and what advantage would it have over the other choices? In addition, having done well with TOU (2%), I would like to add to my gas position. My choice is ARX. Advice or other suggestions please. Existing positions and new purchases would be in TFSA. Please deduct form question credits as appropriate.

To staff and families at 5i - be safe and stay well and thank you.

Tom
