Q: I am interested in your take on XAUT tokenized gold. Always on the lookout for the the next investment idea. Second question is winners and losers in the Carney shell game. Appreciate your input as always!
Q: I would appreciate your analysis of this company. The most recent quarterly report looked impressive, but I'm very weak in understanding mining companies.
Q: Good morning, your comments please on the latest quarter from USA Silver. Do you recommend or do you have another preference in this space.
Thanks
Rob
Q: Re: Grant's question on where to buy gold (Nov 6). I started to build a position several years ago. I found that a reputable coin dealer may be the best place to buy gold. To find one, go to a coin show in your area and talk to coin dealers to find out who they view as reputable for bullion purchases and resale.
I have found the mint's prices to be very high and the Canadian banks even worse. You can easily find today's spot gold price and the gold content of common coins on the internet.
The key thing to watch is the premium you pay over bullion value and not all dealers charge the same premium. I pay 3% on purchases but only 1% on sales back to the dealer from whom I bought the gold.
Canadian Maple Leaf coins are well recognised and easy to buy and sell. For variety you can add in British Sovereigns or some US coins. If you are not a collector, coin quality is less of an issue than just looking at price vs bullion content. If you buy fancy coins celebrating pandas, dragons or some famous guy, understand that you will pay a premium that you may not recover on sale.
Q: Hello 5i,
Just a personal opinion pertaining to Grant’s question around physical silver and gold.
I have been selling some of my R.C.M. silver and gold coins into the recent rally.
Due to their purity, I have had no issues with GST/HST to date.
I would recommend buying 99.999% purity, and also to research buying options as the Mint can be expensive, imho. As well, where practical, try to buy in larger quantities, say 1/4 oz., and higher.
Finally, wafers or bars may be preferable to many Mint coins which may not provide as good a return, given that they seem to sell with a “numismatic premium” from what I have seen.
Just my “2 cents” worth….
Cheers,
Mike
Q: I would like to slowly start stacking a small amount of gold and silver. Where is the best place to buy gold and silver in Canada, the Royal Canadian Mint? Is there a standard size when stacking gold and silver, for a small time investor; eg 1/10th of an ounce for gold? "In the UK, any gold coin that is considered British legal tender is exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT)" - are there any gold Canadian coins that are exempt for Capital Gains? Thank you!!
With strong rumours of Glencore's closure of the Quebec Horne refinery there is increased pressure on copper supply to end users. What would be a preferred way to invest if one believes this constriction of supply will continue? Miners or Refiner names?I already own Lundin and Solaris.
Q: I have a substantial position in this company, and they have just been acquired by CDE. It is trading below the implied value and CDE has dropped considerably. Which I own as well. Any suggestions on what to do here? Many thanks!
