Q: I was thinking of getting back into gold in some way. I recently sold barrick and newmont for pretty good returns. I currently have SLV and PPLT for metal ETFs. What would be the best gold miner to get into?

Thanks,
Andrew

Q: I have a large portfolio of 1.3 Mil in value. They are accross all sectors. I will be adding another 200k shortly. I have no precious metals in my portfolio as I was not comfortable with the volatility. What would you suggest for percentage amount of precious metals and what companies, ETF's
would you suggest. Is holding physical gold less volatile that companies?
If so, is there an ETF that holds physical gold.

Q: Scotia iTrade (and presumably other brokers as well) offers two different Sherritt bonds for purchase: Coupon 8%, maturity 15-Nov-2018, yield-to-maturity 43.94%; Coupon 7.5% maturity 24-Sep-2020, YTM 29.08%.
Two questions: (1) How can the earlier bond maturity have the higher YTM? It seems it should be the opposite.
(2) I assume that an annual yield of 44% essentially mean that the probability of bankruptcy by the first maturity date is very high. Is there a likelihood of any substantial "recovery" (i.e. less than 100%) in the event of default? What is your opinion of the risk / reward if I were purchase the 2018 bond?

Thanks!

Q: I was wondering if you could offer any comments on these two companies: IPT (Impact Silver) and PNE (Pine Cliff Energy). I took positions of approximately 0.5% in each about a month back (I do consider them quite speculative), and have done well with IPT (up about 20%), while I am about even on PNE (down about 5%). I do feel that silver could do well within the next three years, and I also feel that natural gas could do better this upcoming winter. Please let me know what you think about the companies, as well as their management teams; and if possible, your sentiments towards silver and natural gas at the current moment, as well as into the near future. Thanks so much!

Q: Interested on your take of Americas Petrogas. They are divesting oil assets and becoming a phosphate play. Given their unusually large cash balance (for a Venture stock approx .24/share) and JV with a co-op presumably ready to buy their product why is it languishing around cash value? Is it just a waiting game before their assets are reflected in the share price?

Q: Hi 5i team

I continue to hear Marin Katusa and Frank Curzio say they expect significant further upside due to large amount of gold in ground plus uranium assets. They speak very highly of Amir Adnani. Can you comment firstly on the 3 men mentioned and then your thoughts on Brazil Resources potential? Thanks, Greg

Q: Gold dropped about 1.5% today, and many gold and silver stocks are down 6% to 10%. I have a high weighting in this area because these stocks have been "moving up".

What do you anticipate over the next few days for this sector? Possibly a rebound? Or might they continue to drop more?

Any suggestions?

Thank you!
