Q: Hi
I am having difficulty knowing when to cut my losses and sell my shares or hang on and hope they go back up. Can I please have some advice regarding when to sell shares at a loss?

Thank you

Q: Hello 5i team,
AEM has been on a steady decline since Oct of last year (~70%). Is this around the same time as news came of the merger with Kirkland?

I was thinking of entering into the gold/mineral space since I have no exposure. I looked at the slides for the merger, and paints a rosy picture (synergies, dividend growth, etc...). The markets do not seem to like this merger very much based on the price.

Is there anything you know of that would cause this drop aside from markets in general being weary of company mergers?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Hi 5i team.
Previously owned KL and AEM.
In October, sold AEM and bought more KL to keep dollar amount same when merger suggested so as to take advantage of tax loss from AEM.
Now that merger is confirmed for supposedly 1st quarter 2022, I am thinking of selling KL to take advantage of some KL tax loss and buy equivalent amount of AEM before the merger.
Question : Is it possible that an offer could still come in at a higher price for KL before the final merger or is that totally off the table. If it is possible I will hold KL till closer to merger time before taking KL tax loss. (I presume this is still legit right up until the merger. My year end is not an issue here.)

Other logistics question re website.
Will a search of questions for dually listed Canadian and US firms bring up all questions whether searching for CA or US version? eg. KL:CA

Thank you for the great service and best of the season to everyone at 5i.

Q: I ran across the term 'green metals' recently. An American analyst indicated she was interested in them and that 2 of the miners she owns and are involved are Canadian. What does she mean by 'green metals', and which Canadian companies do you think she was referring to? Do you think she is right and what Canadian companies would you invest in to take part in the play?
