Q: Do you feel every portfolio should have at least one Gold Company?

What is the importance of owning a gold company? The long term track record of most Gold Mining companies does't look that compelling. I know that you have mentioned it as a hedge/protection, but even in 2009 Gold companies went down with the rest of the market.

Is just to ensure proper diversification?

When I look at AEM compared to FNV I like the past performance of FNV, but does it provide the same diversification

If it is your recommendation to have as part of any well constructed portfolio, what percentage should be with a Gold company. Just one full position?

Thanks as always.

Q: I have a question about Gold. Specifically I would understand gold to a be good risk hedge against rising interest rates. Looking to take a position in one or more gold companies with some potential for growth....any suggestions would be appreciated. Maybe a couple higher risk small caps and also some big players....Gold Corp seems like they are doing well recently.

Q: Lac saw a significant sell off last week after announcing paperwork being prepared on both sides of border for possible financing and confirmation as well as final date it will list on NYSE. I'm curious if you can tell me if either of these would have caused the sell off or if one or the other or neither. Your thought are appreciated. Either way I picked up more at the bottom.

Q: I currently have a half position in CXI, I also have an almost full position in ECN. CXI isn't doing very much and I was thinking of moving the funds from CXI to ECN. Which one has the better potential?

I have Aegon ADR for a few years now. It is now moving in the right direction, but I am still down on it (in SDRSP). Is it worth holding or do you have some other International Financial companies that you think are better?

Lastly I have a half position in Alacer. Is it worth hanging on to, or would a switch to FNV or Anigco be better?

Thanks.
