Q: Can you give me an in depth outlook on this mining stock? Recent buying at the beginning of November by the Dundee Corporation, TFG Asset management and the CEO? Are you familiar with these names and their investment acumen history? This one has been going up while the mining sector has flatlined any particular reason? What do you think of the balance sheet and future outlook? And what is a prospectus buy? Thank you.

Q: Gentlemen:
This is a two part question. I have been holding a large number of B2 gold shares for 12 years, and it has been a disgrace. In your opinion is there any light at the end of the tunnel? Second Part--- Of the above companies( In an OCT 31 question from Maurice, you thought AGI and LUG had the best growth potential ), would that still be your opinion. Please rank them for growth at this date-BEST FIRST. Also please rank them for RISK- LEAST to most. THANKS, BEN.

Q: In a best case scenario, I think 4 years of Donald Trump in power will be chaotic and discruptive in the US and globally. In a worst case, I believe the US is heading for internal unrest/violence, and the certain parts of the globe will be at war. If you were a 74 year old investor who has done well listening to 5i the last 2 years, how would you now hedge against these scenarios?

Q: I’m mulling over reducing my exposure to gold mining companies. I own AEM, WGX and a junior. My weighting overall is 2%, not very high I grant you. I foresee Trump’s tariffs driving the USD higher. The Federal Reserve can lower interest rates to compensate but they can only go so far. I’m in the black on all three stocks (for now) but the price of gold can be volatile!

Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: Thank you for promptly answering my question on Silver Corp Metals. I have a follow up question. When a company does a "private placement" for convertible debt my understanding is that a bank/brokerage house will offer this placement to clients who have accounts with them. I guess that means that DYI investors who do their investing with a discount broker, in my case RBC, do not have access to these types of placements. Is that correct? Will that placement eventually end up on an exchange and be open to trading on that exchange? If the answer is yes then how long does it generally take for a private placement to end about on an exchange so it can trade? If the answer is no, then how does the investor who bought the private placement eventually liquidate their holding? I am just trying to get an understanding of how this works. Thanks for your help.

Q: At the time of the transaction announcement, I had assumed the original ACB from Karora would follow, and the transaction would not be a taxable event. My concern was how would the $0.608/share be treated. I enquired, and received this passed along from their tax dept, "This was a return of capital spin-off followed by a mixed consideration third-party acquisition.It was effectively a fair market value disposition because the consideration was a mix of cash and shares.  To be tax deferred in Canada it has to be shares only." 
In other words, the entire transaction would be taxable this year. (The ACB on the WGX shares reflects that.)

Is this your understanding?  If so, any idea why they would structure the deal this way?  Doing so would seem decidedly non shareholder friendly. 
Thank you for your comments. Tim

Q: CCO market cap is$ 36 Billion and NXE market Cap is $7 Billion

CCO produces 92 million pounds of Uranium and NXE will produce 30 million pound of uranium. 1/3 of what CCO produces

Market value of NXE should be 1/3 of CCO or $12 Billion divided by number of shares outstanding of 565 million gives me a price for NXE of $ 21.00, Share at $ 12.00

What do you think of this calculation. Am I on to something

I own NXE

Q: Hi 5iResearch Team,

I’m currently quite bullish on the copper industry and would appreciate your thoughts on the best way to invest in this space. Do you think CPER is a solid choice, or would you recommend looking at specific copper companies instead? If the latter, which copper companies do you have the most conviction in at the moment?

Thank you for your time and insights—I greatly appreciate your help.
