Q: Hi guys,

I'm planning to finally dip my toes in the mining sector after the tax sell-off in December that I'm going to hold for 3+ years. Can you suggest a favorite gold miner company please with a good current evaluation, strong balance sheet and if it pays a dividend that's definitely a plus!

Thanks,

Richard

Q: I was wondering if you have news for this huge spike today. TD,Qtrade, Scotia showing no new news. The drilling results came out a few days ago and were great but there was no initial reaction. I was hoping to hear what your thoughts are on a "fair value" for the company. My average cost is $3.76 and I was wondering if you think this is premature move. I also hold VMS. I hold NSU for the balance sheet and low cost...Takeover..VMS for the royalty stream and take out by Hudbay. Thank you as always Jason

Q: I currently hold a significant number of shares in this company and it represents approx. 10% of my portfolio. I am down 47% and am wondering if it is time to throw in the towel or double down. My understanding is that Argonaut is a low cost producer with little or no debt, but their share price keeps plummeting.

I realize that this company represents too large a proportion of my portfolio but believe much of what AR is experiencing is sector related. but I would appreciate you comments on the company in general and their financial in particular.

Thanks,

DON

Q: Please explain the drastic drop in the stock price. It seems to me that Yamana gets beat up more than the other gold stocks. Also as a new investor in the markets can U please tell me how the market works . If a price of one dollars per share is sold , I assume that the co gets the dollar, but if the price drops to 90 cents does the company have to pay back ? Thanks Don

Q: 1:42 PM 11/13/2014

Hello Peter :
I currently have a 17.5% position in precious metal stocks [FNV 10.2%, G 3.9%, SLW 3.02%, SSL 0.4%]. This is partly due to an inheritance about 2 years ago whereby the shares were transferred in to our account at the very high ACBs prevailing at the time. We sold a good portion of these stocks at that time but still need to reduce.

We choose to keep Franco Nevada in it's entirety as our only gold holding as it is a stable powerful, growing, well-financed company with low overheads and an acceptable dividend, but we do plan to sell G, SLW, and SSL even though these are very good companies. These 3 stocks are down 31%, 29% and 39% respectively from their ACBs.

The plan is to invest the proceeds into dividend-growing high quality stocks as we need the dividend income along with reasonable growth. We could add to our already existing positions in : Corby[CSW.A 2.1%], A&W[AW.UN 2.3%], Emera[EMA 2.2%], Telus[T 1.8%].

Or we could initiate new positions in two or more of Enercare [ECI], Chartwell [CSH.UN], BMO REITs [ZRE], Cervus [CVL], Alaris [AD], or AgGrowth [AFN], all with dividends in the 4-5% range.

I believe [hope] that gold and silver prices will rebound over the next few months or year [or then again maybe they won't] and the issue is whether to sell them now at a low or whether to do nothing and wait until the losses are greatly reduced. We cannot use the tax loss now and would have to carry it forward for future years. So the question now is whether the gold stocks will rise faster in price than the stocks we wish to buy?

What would be your strategy - switch now or wait - and which of the 10 stocks listed above would be the best buys now or in a year or so, and why?

Your opinion always greatly appreciated...... Paul K.

Q: Canadian Banc Corp is an Investment Corporation
that invests in a diversified portfolio consisting of six
Canadian Banks. Two types of shares are available, a
Class A (BK) and a Preferred (BK.PR.A).

I have had class A shares for a few years and am very pleased. It seems to good great dividend and capital gains . I see the very low liquidity as a big problem. I believe you are not supportive of the structure and the fund.
Would you reduce as it is 6% of holding with no other bank exposure? what other red flags would you look out for.
thanks
Yossi
