Q: Hi there, I read that Eric Sprott is retiring at chairman. The stock seems to be reacting negatively to the news. What do you make of it and does this effect or change your outlook on the stock?
Q: PDL, linked to the palladium price, has recently been a very volatile performer. This morning palladium is down 2.5 per cent, but PDL is down 10. Forecasts for palladium are generally quite bullish. How do I trade such a volatile performer? Just hang on, grit my teeth and wait? Reduce? Thank you.
Q: I had been using BTO as a stock to swing trade and sometimes day trade based on the swings in gold. I have done well with this strategy but after the most recent quarter have lost some confidence in this stock. I am looking for a replacement. Can you please recommend 2 gold stocks that meet my criteria: sufficient liquidity for me to easily move in and out of $80k positions, solid overall financial and production metrics and solid enough overall that if I need to hold the position for a few months I can be comfortable knowing I have a solid company. I have no current gold exposure.
Q: Hello folks; Looking to tuck away some silver. Which of these would be better suited and what will the fact that SVR is hedged have if silver and SVR happen to go up? Also, PSLV is on the TSX exchange but is listed in USD. Is there a problem with government hold-backs upon cashing out?
Q: CSO now has a few quarters under its belt as a strictly metallurgical coal producer - is it looking like a survivor in its field (metrics improving?)?
Also, on 13-March near the end of the day, 10x the average volume was traded in one minute and at about 9% above the intraday high to that point. Any information on that trade, or insight?
Q: What do you think of Osisko Mining for a growth play in the gold mining and exploration sector? Kirkland Gold has built a 10%+ stake in the past months, do you find it interesting? And what do you think of the announcement of their new spin-out : O3 mining?
Could you also recommend other small to mid caps in the gold mining and/or exploration ?
Q: Hi,
I have shares of Equinox Gold in my TFSA and a few months ago they separated their copper assets into a company called Solaris Copper Inc. There was no value assigned to the shares, I'm not sure if they are even a public company yet.
Regardless I assumed the shares will just sit there until a value is assigned and they could be traded publicly. Recently I received a letter from iTRADE informing me that the shares of Solaris are a non qualified security and all income earned and all capital gains derived from the non-qualified investment will be reported to Canada Revenue Agency on a T3RET trust return . Any tax payable on this amount will be levied directly against the TSFA account.
Can you explain this to me? The shares have no value so I can't see that I am on the hook for any penalty. 50% of $0 is $0. Secondly I am angry at Equinox for putting me in this position.
Thanks,
Charlie
