Q: I am embarrassed to say that I bought Teck a few years ago at $37 and have ridden it down to the current $14. I keep thinking it will recover, but it hasn't yet. I have a 4-6 year horizon and can be patient, and have a fairly balanced portfolio. Would you recommend further patience or should I just sell at a loss. Do you think the divident is safe?

thanks for your great work!

Q: Peter and his Wonder Team
Bullion has been moving up and most golds are following...however today ASR lost 4.5%. Why are they not following the trend? Is there any negative news or problems in Turkey, the Swiss currency, profit taking or just a strange day? Please give me your thoughts...Thank you!

Q: Hi Peter & team, as of Friday's market close, G and K are up over 30% YTD. Apart from strength in gold price, are there any other reasons for this sudden upward move? Can we expect this trend to continue or will it reverse its course as it did in many occasions in the recent past. Thank you.

Q: Gold seems to be getting a bit of support even with the strong USD which is encouraging compared to other commodities. With a low CAD$ and cheaper oil CDN producers should have an advantage and be able to increase cashflow. I have G but am looking at other low cash cost producers with mines in Canada. What are your thoughts on Detour, Richmont, and New Gold? Any other suggestions?

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.

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.
