Q: I have no gold in any of my 3 portfolios. I feel that I should have gold exposure. Could you recommend a stock that I could hold for the rest of this year. I would like to see some dividends with a gold stock.

Q: Hi 5i,
My partner and I are 60 yrs. old, both newly retired with no pensions. 50% of our portfolio is in banks (one in the US), the rest in renewables and the occasional tech stock.
We are thinking with Mr. Trump now in office, we should probably look at gold. Presently we have no gold, even though I see comments that 4-6% of your portfolio should be in gold. What would you suggest for us? Stocks, bullion? If stocks, which ones and percentage of each would be valuable.

Thank you!

Q: My only gold stock is MND. I figure if I'm going to wait around to see what happens to gold, I want to be paid something. What do you think of MND? On the dividend, how is the payout ratio? How long have they been paying it? Have they ever raised or cut it? Are there any other cash-flowing mid-cap or small-cap gold dividend payers? Thanks.

Q: Hello. Had an earlier question on gold bullion ETFs but think I may have timed out or something as didn't get a message saying you received it. So trying again.

Looking to buy some gold bullion ETF units as insurance for both my own portfolio and my wife's portfolio. Central Fund seems like the best bet for a Canadian ETF. Three questions:

1. Am considering splitting unit purchases between my RRSP and non-registered accounts. Any issues here?
2. Can you advise the Canadian tax treatment for capital gains in my taxable account?
3. Could you please help me understand the 'premium/discount to NAV'? Today it's -8.79% for CEF.A.

Thanks as always for your great service.

Q: As a follow up to my previous question on Harte Gold I am trying to put a value on the resource. They are already mining on a very small scale and have all the inputs in terms of grade and costs. They have a custom milling arrangement in place to expand the ore body. That said is there a calculation i.e. Net Present Value that can be done to arrive at a potential share value if they define 2 Million ozs, 2.5 Million ozs, 3 Million ozs and so on. Can this be done and if so what would be the formula. Thank You.

Q: A follow up on David's IVN question. I needed some funds, so sold this holding at 2.99 last week for a small gain, and then it really started to climb! I thought to get in on a dip, but there seems to be no sign of a dip. Is the value in today's stock price, and would it be okay to take a whole or half position to get back in? Or, is it indeed inflated.

Q: Can you tell me what would be your favourite gold stocks right now. Not explorers, but actual producers, small, medium, or large, that can make money at this price, and hopefully have the prospect of increasing production. Thanks for your help.
