Q: Do gold-producer stock-price declines suggest sector capitulation? Understanding that gold itself may be range-bound for some time, is there bounce potential for the producer stocks? Wrt FNV, how does one assess the relative contributions of gold vs. oil+gas? Please feel free to suggest an alternate vehicle for this sector; I never expected to see so many 'blue-chip' producers so far down.

Q: Hi Team,

Blake asked a question about Goldcorp (G) and you suggested the possibility of exiting the materials sector altogether.

As a long-term, value contrarian should I be looking at that as a buy signal, now that it looks like capitulation is occurring? ;-)

Seriously, if you were to pick a handful of materials companies that will survive the onslaught which ones would they be? The more down trod the better (but still able to survive).

Sorry, I don't mean to be cheeky. I totally respect your advice and service and follow it daily. Your advice has helped me make a good chunk of money, which would not have happened without my membership and I really appreciate it. Don't know where I'd be without you!

Cheers, Michael

Q: Good morning Peter. I would like to invest in the metalls/resources sector for 3 year hold as current prices seem to be historically low. Can you suggest 5 good company's that can sustain the current downturn (lower debit, good assets, reasonable cash flow) that look very attractive at current price levels. Thank you for your great service.

Q: I am acutely aware that Gold is down sharply today. You have already answered another member about the investors losing confidence in commodities.
Of the medium sized Gold companies CG seems to have held the price better than others though it is also down! For example compared to Alamos, Yamana, Eldorado and such.
I see not many questions on CG on members' questions. None for a year approximately. What are the companies that can be compared to CG?
Any opinions or comments?
Thanks in advance.

Q: I currently do not hold any precious metal stocks, and am very grateful for this. I know some of this is pure luck, and am wondering about your contrarian view on the sector. I see some stocks like YRI, G, ABX that have gone down so low that surely there is "blood in the streets". Is this a time to step in, or is this not 5i's style of investing? If this is not a recommended style, I would totally understand, but figured I would ask. Thank you!

Q: Can I please have your updated opinion on Harmony Gold (HMY)? It's drifted significantly lower recently and the CEO just announced his retirement. Wondering if these two events are related and the overreaction is presenting a buying opportunity?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Focus Graphite hit $1.78 in 2011...this year it has crashed from $0.69 to a new low of $0.16 today. I know the board dismissed there chief officer recently and they may not have the funding to begin production. Why do you think the stock is crashing? Is it lack of funding,inability to get the mine operational,poor management or all the above or am I missing something? It is my understanding that they have a quality asset and they have agreements for advance orders. Just based on there assets is this stock worth $0.16? So how would you rate its value...high risk?...a penny stock?... gambling?... or a fair long term contrarian buying opportunity?
Thanks as always...your insights are invaluable to retail investors!
