Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Back around 1970 the ratio was about 16/1 ---ten years ago it was around 40/1
and has been creeping up ever since --although showing some recent improvement
Do you see it going down in the not so distant future?
Why do you think it went from 16/1 to today at 75/1?

Also what would be your top silver picks both stocks and ETF?

Thanks

Peter

Q: I have a diversified equity portfolio (60 positions across most sectors, tilted towards higher quality equities, with overall ~5% gold equity allocation (XGD, FNV, AEM). I am interested in a single silver equity pick to comprise about 1% of overall equity portfolio. First, is this a reasonable plan in current investment environment? Second, which security would be a reasonable choice (based on investment newsletters I receive, I am considering one of SIL, PAAS, HL, or SLV; all NYSE). Feel free to suggest another security, if you favor another.

Q: I recently bought AEM and KL for gold exposure. Looking back at 2008-2011 after the financial crisis, gold and silver had massive rallies! Do you think the macro conditions now with central banks pumping out money into the economy set up the same conditions for a multi year rally as well or what was different back then to now? Would you suggest holding both silver and gold? What would be your top etf for silver and 3 best silver stocks? Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i, if you could explain what it means the following: I own PAAS, and I also have this stock (PAASF):

Description: RTS PAN AMERN SILVER CORP EXP 2/22/2029 CNTNGNT VALU RT

Average Cost: 0.0000 USD

I used to own Rio Alto which was merged with Tahoe, and Tahoe was bought by PAAS, Does PAASF had any value? when I try to trade it shows up at $ 0.60.

Q: A lot of the precious metal stocks have been on the rise in the past few weeks and yet First Majestic Silver seems to be on a steady decline. Any thoughts on the reason it is declining? I am wondering if I should cut my losses on this stock, sell it and replace it with PAAS. Your thoughts on this move would be appreciated.

Thanks as always

What is PAASF and how did I end up acquiring it? Whats 5i view on this penny stock? Would you advise to just sell it? Thanks.

Q: I currently a small amount of GDX and GLD. I would like to increase my gold holdings a bit. Is there a stock you recommend? I am wondering about ABX or GOLD, if you like those, and is GOLD better than the CAD ABX? Or do you prefer another gold stock?
Also, is this a good time to buy silver? If so, would you recommend a stock or an ETF, CAD or US? Thank you.
