Thanks and have a good weekend.

Q: Gentlemen; I have been fortunate to have bought a position in Newmarket Gold which is up over 13% today. In reading their latest press release, I find their drilling results are almost too good to believe.

Q: Hi 5i team,

Can you provide comment on ssl and if you would condone a 5% investment. Also, with gold typically being a hedge to market/economic capitulation, can you comment on the 5% weight the 5i team typically prescribes please. If the overall portfolio dropped 20%, the 5% gold holding would have to increase nearly 4x to effectively hedge the loss. In this volatile market, would a heavier weighting would be a prudent defensive position?

Q: Currently gold is about 2% of my holdings. Half is TMAC, the rest split between Osisko and Roxgold. The miners are both in advanced pre-production.

I am looking to go overweight gold for the next 4-5 months. Possibly as high as 12-15%. I think seasonality may get a boost from India, whose markets and monsoon have been very good this year. And I want TTT (Trump Temper Tantrum)insurance in place well before Nov 8.

Can you put fwd a short list of producers and royalties that you think would do best in a rising price environment in that time frame. (Please note, ROX's asset is in Burkina Faso, where most of SMF's are.)

Thank You for this and all your other fine work,

Tim

Q: Over the past few years I have purposely avoided the materials and energy sectors. By doing so I outperformed the market from 2012 to 2015. This year the market is outperforming my portfolio handily largely due to large increases in these sectors. Could you provide 3 companies in each sector that I may consider purchasing for a long term hold. I am interested in companies that pay a dividend and have some opportunity for capital appreciation.
