Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Peter,
What are your thoughts on Novagold. I've been following a few hedge funds, like Baupost and Vinik Asset Mgmt and they seem to be stocking up on it.

Q: Can I get your opinion on Alamos gold going forward? In at about $14. Should I sell and pick it up again in the summer? I think the x dividend date is April 15, 2013.

Q: Hello Peter,
Gold Canyon Resources (GCU) has had a precipitous decline over the last year, along with many of the juniors in the resource sector, despite what appears to be a very promising gold deposit in Ontario. The recently released a Preliminary Economic Assessment on March 25. What do you think of this company? Buy, Hold, Sell? Thanks.

Q: Hi,
(ANV)Allied Nevada.... is there any company specific bad news or just sector overall causing sharp decline in stock price? would you still recommed buying here...
Thank you

Q: Any opinion on AQA? The company suggests they have 900,000 ounces of gold, Hudbay spent some development money but decided not to proceed. I realize Hudbay has its challenges and is trying to develop a much bigger deposit in South America I think. I suppose AQA is "dead-in-water" for the forseeable future.

Q: Hi Peter, I am a new member. I would like your opinion on Yamana Gold. With gold recently getting hammered Yamana looks like a good buy for one to two years out. Thank you kindly for your insight.

Q: What is your opinion on B2Gold BTO.
Should I continue to hold it.

Q: Would like an update on Alexco (AXR), in light of the flow through they did April 1st. I thought they had lots of cash and while they did get a 10% premium the price has come down a lot more than that in the previous month. thanks

Q: Hello. Could your opinion on AUN. It keeps making new lows. share consolidation has been approved. it seems that news flow is positive. thanks

Q: OSK I bought that stock a while ago and it keeps falling but I am incline to buy more stock or should I look more closely to ELD or Barrick Gold. On the longterm I am not that worried but still the emotion get you once an awhile

Q: Hello 5I. I would like to have your opinion on CS and CUM. Which one better to invest ?. Regards, Loni

Q: I would like your update on Esperanza EPZ, and how things change since the Agreement with Pan American Silver on Feb 25. I thought the agreement was positive for the company but the market doesn't seem to have changed much.
Thanks

Q: I think the added category of "Investor Resources and Strategies" was a great suggestion. It's clear from some of the answers to member questions that you are expecting the current downward momentum in, for example, junior mining and gold/silver stocks to continue for a bit. Could you provide some guidance - technical and/or other - on what you look for to determine when sector momentum shifts either up or down? Would these signals change with different sectors ? Thank you.

Q: Good Morning Peter and Team,
I have been very slowly averaging into the gold mining sector over the last year using ETF's- IShares XGD and BMO's ZJG along with equities- Central Fund of Canada (CEF.A- TSX) and Silver Bullion Trust (SBT.UN- TSX). So far it has been like catching a falling knife and I look pretty stupid but I truly believe that we are still in a long term secular bull market in precious metals. Do you think we are approaching the "PUKE POINT" for this wave or cycle ??? Also I would appreciate your opinion of my stategy.
Thank you very much. DL

Q: Hi Peter and team,

I would like your thoughts about Coeur d'Alene's purchase of Orko. There are three options on the table for shareholders to consider: A)70cents cash , 0.0815 of a common share of Coeur and 0.01118 of a warrant to purchase Coueur shares at $30 doallars for each Orko share B)To receive 0.1118 of a common share of Coeur and 0.01118 of a warrant to purchase a Coeur share for each share tendered (subject to proration) or C)Cash and Warrants (subject to Proration) to recieive 2.60 in cash and 0.01118 of a warrant to purchase a Coeur share for each share tendered.
I would be making a tiny profit on option C and Orko was my only exposure to the Silver mining sector at this moment.

Which option would you recommend and why? I guess your opinion about Silver prices going forward, and Silver miners (Couer)in general, would be needed to help understand your perspective.
Thanks in advance,

Arturo

Q: Hi 5i team. With the price of gold declining for the last six months,what events would trigger a rebound in gold and when do you foresee such turnaround? What would be signs of investors capitulating on beaten down gold shares ? I understand that it is best to wait for the sector to stabilize before buying company specific stocks such as St Andrews Goldfields which I own but am under water ....for now!!! Thank you

Q: In your estimation, when do you think the decline in gold stocks will bottom out. ELD lost over 9% today, good time to buy or wait a bit longer??

Q: I own some SEA and I am down about 9% I know it is a long hold , would it be a good time to buy more to average down .
What is your advice .

Jim

Q: Hello Peter and gang, I have had a position in OGC, (OceanaGold Corp) for a couple years and I am at about the break even point - they seem to be getting ahead and significantly increasing production and reducing their costs - l would appreciate you looking into your "crystal ball" for me. Thanks. By the way I really appreciate your thoughts and view points on this and all the other questions you address, good job!

Q: I've traded Trevali (TV) a couple times, looking at it again. Typically how do flow through share issues like they recently announced (just a few % above present trading with 4 month hold) affect the share price? Buy now or wait 4 months and see what happens? When money is spent over the next year on exploration obviously in 4 months it shouldn't affect share price in that time frame? thanks
