Q: I am thinking of selling a 2% weighting in PWF to purchase "First Quantum Minerals". It would increase my materials weighting to about 12%. I would still be overweight in financials (BNS, TD and SLF remaining).

My materials weighting is creeping up and secure dividend income reduced for possible capital gain.

Do you like First Quantum and does it seem to make sense to sell PWF to buy them? I was an old Inmet share holder who didn't want to tender to First Quantum. But it must be said they picked-up Inmet on the cheap so I guess we have to give them credit. Inmet had some great copper properties and the price of copper just seems to be getting stronger.

Your thoughts please.

Q: TCK.B: I have been keeping my eyes on this one for a while looking for an entry point. I realize that this Co. is tied to coal for steel making and copper and zinc which are all economically sensitive. At some point as the EU and Chine pick-up a bit and price increase for their commodities this should help? Is the dividend safe under current conditions-I am retired and own no other resource stocks other than VET, CPG & BTE which with reinvested dividends have served me well over the last 5 yr.

Q: Hello! A small allocation in gold makes sense to me. I have taken a look at HGY and I would be interested to know what are the pros and cons of investing in such a fund. Receiving a decent yield while holding seems attractive to me and buying on dips would be something I could consider. Your insights on HGY would be welcome. Thank you,
Genny

Q: I too, am nervous about gold stocks. When I joined 5i I made a promise to myself: no gold, and no oil and gas stocks. Too volatile. So far I've kept my promise. I'd like a bit of clarification on your response to the MS member's question. I don't want to own gold, but I do like the concept of insurance. Can you explain how the insurance would work. (I seem to remember you saying it did not work in 2008) When and how would it work? I understand inflation protection, I think. But if I owned 5% Goldcorp, as in model portfolio, what scenario would make me glad I owned it. And if the portfolio dropped 30% in some crisis, would gold rise to compensate. How much insurance would a 5% Goldcorp position offer. I realize that this is a hard hypothetical question to answer but in your experience, when was owning gold a good thing. I know you are not an insurance salesman, but please sell me on the idea of insurance. (No hurry to answer this question.) Thanks.

Q: 5i team. I recently purchased TCN for $8, then read that they have increased the # of shares from 42 -- 109 mm. over the one year period. I concur like you that this is great dilution. Is this a good invest. or take my loss and move on. Also, I have a theory that gold & silver sector goes done when the rest of the market does well and usually goes up when investors feel that they cannot make money on the many other stocks in Canada and US. Is there a better stock than TCN? thanks, REne
