Q: I have a question about gold I want some thought on please.

I'm considering taking a position (about 5% of portfolio) in gold for a medium term hold. Given the potential volatility of individual gold stocks I am thinking of an ETF, likely XGD. Two questions, do you recommend entering at this point and if so...... should I consider an ETF of mostly large caps such as XGD, or would you recommend balancing the position with an ETF with more of a junior focus. Would a position in a streaming company such as Franco Nevada accomplish the same thing?

Q: It seems to me that the 30% drop in Detour Gold is way overdone. Do you agree? DGC has quite a high percentage of shares owned by institutions (>60% I believe). Could this big drop be due to computer programmed selling - sheep following sheep, etc.? I bought a small position in DGC several months ago, thinking it's a high cost producer but has a lot of reserves, so it could be a good leveraged investment if the POG rises significantly. Has anything really changed with this new guidance?

Q: I hold Teck and Nutrien with the balance of my resource holdings in XMA. I have an equal amount of funds in each. I am considering selling XMA to purchase LIF. I know this will give me less diversity, but Teck and Nutrien are major weights in XMA which is otherwise heavy in gold stocks with low dividends and weak growth. At least LIF would give me decent dividends. What do you think? Thanks.

Q: Hi,

With respect to cyclicity of markets and sectors, you recently commented that materials is a sector that is "picking up". Briefly, which sectors are "picking up" and which are slowing down and is there a general time frame that these cycles work on?

Thanks.

Cam.
