Q: Apparently the brokerages which deal in the gold trade were recently advised, by the regulator, to revise the allowable margin calculation. (based on gold holdings). This significantly reduced the allowable margin amounts. I understand that a letter from the regulator suggests that the reason for the change is that it views that the price of gold, and the volatility are too high. Too many investors might get hurt.
My question is: Is the regulator all that altruistic or are there geopolitical issues at play here which a prudent investor should be aware of?
Thanks for your insightful thoughts.

Q: Would appreciate your advice on ranking our material sector holdings with the goal of consolidating those with the highest conviction. Would you suggest others in this sector that could be added - such as NTR.

Q: Currently hold AEM and WPM, but no NTR. Would it be reasonable to sell WPM to pick up some NTR to diversify a bit? Thank you.

Q: I am confused. Based on the daily news, and what I see economically and politically going on south of the border, I have believed for some time we are headed for trouble. And I mean Trouble with a capital T. So I have been increasing my weighting in gold and silver, I thought I was de-risking, but precious metals are getting killed (along with most things). What did I get wrong? What do you believe is the biggest driver of the current market mood?

Q: What is your take on the huge pullback on precious metals, specifically gold and silver. I always had some exposure to it; added more a few months ago when things started taking off, took some profits, and what I have left is taking a wallop. IMO, in the long term is there is still demand for gold and silver so am hesitant to cut losses only to miss a rebound.
