Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Due to the impending trade war ( thanks to Donald!)and the trouble it will cause in the market, I am holding some cash in my portfolio 10%, and would also like to invest in some gold to further my safety net. Do you think this is a good idea, and if so, what golds stocks or ETF's would you recommend and what weighting?

Q: BTO has pulled back recently off its highs. This could be due to gold price fluctuation, but Mali is talking about "a mining code revision". Given what is happening to the companies in DRC like Ivanhoe and Katanga, I wonder if BTO has hit a bit of political head wind? BTO has other good projects outside of Mali.
May I have your opinion on BTO for the next 6-18 months?

Q: I checked out Trevali Mining at the PDAC conference this week and noticed that it has over 800 million shares outstanding. Do you think this is a concern in the sense that they might decide to consolidate at some point. Also could you provide the fully diluted number of shares as well as recent insider activity and overall ownership. Thanks.

Q: In Nov IRO.v reported TTM EPS of $0.11USD for Q3 & it closed on Friday at $0.485. It appears to be extremely cheap with a P/E of roughly 3x. Fundamentals have been improving each quarter. They have some debt from the transformational acquisition of Papillon in 2016 but have been paying it down rapidly in 2017. With these key points above, I think it deserves some further consideration.

Another subscriber had asked about IRO in January & 5i said “At less than $10M market cap, we would completely avoid IRO.” Yes I agree, it’s a very illiquid microcap but that does not concern me because I’m not buying million of shares. I recently purchased a few thousand shares in my TFSA account. I thought it has potential to be a 4bagger this yr. Do you really think it should be avoid & why?
