Q: Fission Uranium recently announced it's maiden resource estimate which seemed to surpass expectations. I know this sector has been unloved. and we may be a few years away from working thru any uranium supply surplus. Wondering if it might not be too early for forward thinking investors, to consider the uranium space, and in particular FCU. Do you consider it a potential take out candidate somewhere in the future? Thanks very much.

Q: Hello,
What are your thoughts on First Mineral? I hold half position in FM and was planning to increase it to a full position. The stock is down 13% in the past 3 days - should I take it as an opportunity or a warning? I am considering holding the stock for 2-3 years. (My current exposure to energy and materials combined is 25%)
Thanks.

Q: Central Gold Trust appears to be undervalued. The Trust holds segregated bullion in a major Canadian Bank. What do you think of this method of participating in the gold sector without personally owning gold?

Q: I think my question is a first. I would like to know the names (ticker symbols will suffice) of those gold and silver companies that provide a royalty stream. I thought I might find the answer in the "View by Category" section. I was astounded by how many questions you answer on the gold/silver sector. I'm thinking SSO, Silver Standard; and OR,Osisko would be good picks What would your top 2 choices be? I prefer growth as important as the dividend.

Q: FCX, with a P/E of 10.8 and a dividend of 5.55% seems an obvious buy (all else remaining equal) though despite a relatively high payout ratio (84%). Would this be your favoured blue chip in this sector?

Q: Peter, just a comment
My very first question/comment 3 years ago (!)was about the treatment of Canadian companies in the USA and the multitude of pains they were going through to get permits. Would you believe that Romarco took 7 years to obtain all permits to end up being immediately challenged by the Sierra Club (last month). South Carolina is desperate to get jobs and the community is all behind Romarco. It will probably be another 6 months to get some resolution for a project that was costing gold extraction at $500 and is now still very much profitable, but at around $800 this time around.I own and like romarco a lot.
I have watched and invested often in other companies facing the same challenges... Augusta, Peeble creel.. and Invernia which went through hell for many years on all sorts of injunctions, it was incredible to follow what they went through. I understand their pain, and the need to sell ( i made my last purchase at .035 cents and sold at .7 ). I wish Australia and the USA would treat us the same way we seem to treat them.
Publish if you deem it interesting for the community. It is only a comment no more.

Q: You have not been asked about IVW for some time. It has done nothing for years and now at $0.05 it seems to be at a multi-year low. Provided it can survive until economies around the world begin to pick up, it may be a good "bottom fishing" opportunity. Do you have a current view on this Company?

Q: I know 5i isn't about the charts or predicting price movements, but the chart of Silver Wheaton SLW from April 2013 to today is shockingly symmetrical. I'm no expert on charts but one would think there's something meaningful in the pattern. The question is, "What happens to the pattern from here?" If the symmetry continues, and looking at a two year chart, the stock is setting up for huge burst to the upside. Any thoughts?

Q: Yesterday there was an article in the National Post authored by Peter entitled Five New Things an Investor should try. In the article owning gold bullion was discussed as a hedge. I have several questions:
-Could silver bullion be substituted even though it is somewhat more volatile? If so could you also use a royalty streamer such as SLW be utilized?
-Instead of hedging with gold bullion could one use a streamer such as Franco Nevada?
- Finally do you believe gold has established bottom or do you believe that there is still sufficient risk to wait until a recovery is more certain? I've been waiting to buy for a number of months now as the price fluctuates between $1150 and $1240/oz.
Thanks
Mike

Q: Hi folks. What are your thoughts on the risk reward of nevsun? Is this a buy at these prices or can it be bought at lower prices later next year? Do you think they can switch from mainly copper to zinc in the short term to increase their profits?
