Q: Good morning, Looking at the chart of GDX the last 5 yrs the ETF reached yrly highs on Aug 6,2020, May 18,2021, April 18,2022. Those dates matched the highs in gold price and the gold stocks. So the price of gold , the miners stock price, and the GDX moved together until 2022. Since then the GDX is moving in opposite direction to the other two and reached a new low last week when gold is at an all time high for the last 3 months. Can you explain ? It appears that the GDX is sold short daily and keeping the gold miners stock prices down artificially .??
Thanks, George

Q: Hi 5i Team - The share price of Argonaut Gold had a recent major one day drop and has shown little recovery since. Could you explain the one day drop in price and also your opinion on whether it is worth holding based on fundamentals and exploration as well as earnings potential. Also do you think the sell-off is overdone.
Thanks.

Q: This is a company you have recommended in the past. I see now you feel it is a sell. Is there no chance for a turn around if one is a patient investor or is it at risk now of going out of business? If you can please describe what is happening with this company and their plans it would be most appreciated. Thank you!

Q: Hello 5i team,
At the moment, I only have AEM for basic materials and wanted to add another company for more exposure to the materials sector. I had NTR (bought when it was Agrium) a few years ago and sold all shares when they were valued above $100.

I wanted to get back into NTR as I think it will not go lower then around $60 (has support there). You have CCL in the balance portfolio but seems to be in a holding pattern for the past 3 years.

My question is if you have your eye on other material sector companies that would fit the balance portfolio? With a decent dividend, and beaten down, do you think NTR is a good second materials stock to enter into?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: How would you rank these junior gold developers (by assigning them each a number) in terms of their potential upside and being worth the risk of a small portfolio position:

PPTA, PRB, LUM, TLG, ITH, MAU, FF, CKG, LGD, ITR

Do any of them stand out as being either much too speculative to recommend or exceptional opportunities? Thanks for any additional comments.
