Q: My only precious metal exposure is Silver Wheaton. With the big recovery this year, it's now at 5% of my portfolio. Would you recommend continuing to hold, selling part or all, diversifying into another precious metal holding and if so, your thoughts on timing ? As always, thank you for your valued advice.

Q: Hello Peter,
Do you feel it is too late to buy silver stocks as the run up has been quite good? I am looking at the following: silver wheaton , first majestic, ishares silver trust (SLV) or central fund of canada (cef.A) which gives mixture of silver and gold? Also, do you feel gold standard ventures is a stock that can be held for few years with a hope of increased capital appreciation or possible take over. Thank you.

Q: Silver stocks. I checked performance one month, three months, 6 months and one year on fr,mag,paa and sso. Fr came out number one,mag number two paa number three and then sso.
Silver stocks don't seem to have the volatility on the downside that gold shares do. Would you prefer silver shares to gold and silver vs. gold. I own all four and have been selling my gold shares and reinvesting funds into the 4 silver companies mentioned. It is working out in my favour. Are there any other Silver companies I should own ? Do you agree with my strategy. Silver looks better than Gold ?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Please compare First Majestic Silver and Pan American Silver in terms of balance sheet, management, reserve life and overall value. Which one do you think is the strongest going forward? Is there another Canadian silver company that you think tops these?
Thanks for your excellent insights ...they are invaluable to retail investors who are just wanting respectable returns on there investments!

Q: What is happening to the price of silver?
Most if not all major silver producers have an all in costs that are higher than the $17 spot silver price.
Is this a buying oppotunity that comes once in a lifetime, or a slippery slope to the poor house? How long could this inverse last? Look at First Majestic's chart, it's getting very expensive to me..
Thanking you in advance..

Q: Good Morning from Thailand,
Sorry, but the weather is just gorgeous here in Chiang Mai! I have holdings in PAAS (and PAA), PSLV, IAG, HMY (about 20% of portfolio). I'm winning on PAAS AND PAA but IAG AND HMY am on the losing side. I have read your previous comments on FR and SLW. I recently picked up some FR and do like SLW for its leverage on the price of silver. Would you recommend taking profits and buying SLW and/or more of FR to keep my 20% weighting? Furthermore would you recommend selling IAG and HMY and replacing them with something else? Thanks for your service and let me know if you would like weather updates.
Cheers,
Rick
