Q: Please provide your thoughts on two funds in the precious metals sector.
1. Sentry Precious Metals Growth Fund
2. Precious Metals and Mining Trust

Q: Hello,

Interesting times, and I'm already seeing opportunity, though am waiting.

I've recently read some bullish articles on SA with respect to Richmont Mines. The most recent article mentioned RIC upping their YTD production by 68% (http://seekingalpha.com/article/2552425-update-richmont-mines-reports-year-to-date-gold-production-up-68-percent).

I see many positives with this company (please correct if wrong):
- 32 million Cash
- low debt
- $800 / oz cash costs
- mines in Canada

Since 2012 I see 5i has a varied opinion on this stock, including it being a good takeover candidate. Could you update on your opinion of this gold stock?

Thanks,

Cam.

Thanks!

Q: More of a comment on this company-I live about 5 miles from this operation and they seem to be hitting on all cylinders-the report this morning about their costs is impressive as is the production increase-seems to me a positive recovery story so far-just need the price of gold to keep climbing.

Q: I have purchased cum before on your recommendation but sold all my shares at higher prices. Is it time to buy some shares for growth for 2-3 yr. period. Also, who are the sellers in SGY and WCP to drive the price down? My idea of SGY with all this hedging is that it was a good price at $8, so it must be a bargain at $6.60?

Q: Today I checked out INK insider selling/buying reports on all 40 or so stocks I hold, a very conservative diversified across all sectors mix of mostly dividend growing and paying US and canadian stocks. INK indicates almost all of my positions have net insider selling except TCK.B. which has small net insider buying. I have never done this exercise before. How useful do you find insider buying/ selling info. Is this perhaps an indication the market is frothy and perhaps we should be selling some portion of our positions and not buying? Teck as a long term hold does look pretty good right now, would you buy?
Thanks Manfred

Q: Hi Peter and team, Banro Corp down nearly 72% YTD. Will this stock eventually be worthless? I hold a smaller position and down about 45% on it. P/B ratio is only 0.01. Is this a cheap stock with a chance of revival or a bad investment that an investor should run away from?

Q: Hi Peter and team, leading gold mining companies like G, ABX, YRI, K are all trading at multi year low levels. P/B ratios for YRI and K are well below 1. Aren't these companies are deeply undervalued? If so is it ok to have a slight bias towards gold mining sector to seize an opportunity for the next 6 - 12 months.
