Q: On March 11, in response to Norm's question regarding B2 Gold, you wrote, "BTO's profit margins for 2020 were 35% and its year-over-year revenue growth was 55%. For 2021, its revenue declined by 1.5% and profit margins fell to 24%." I need your help to understand the profit margin numbers. For instance, B2's AISC for 2021 was around $900 while they sold the mined gold for around $1800. Wouldn't the margin then be 100%? What I am missing here?

Also, you wrote, "It has improved on its balance sheet since 2020." The company is debt-free. Is that what you were referring to or something else? Please explain.

You have stated previously that the stock is cheap, and it pays a very healthy dividend. It is about 50 cents lower per share than its March 2020 share price while the price of gold is substantially higher. Do you attribute that to people shying away from the location of B2's mines?

There's a few questions in there.

Thank you as always for your service.

Q: I'm loaded up on AEM and am looking at adding to other positions. I've got BTO, GCM, OR and MMX and thinking to add to BTO or GCM as I like the P/E's and yield.

How do you rate these? Are there any others to consider?

*I may have accidentally submitted this question before finishing writing it?

Thanks!

Q: Gold seems to be perking up, though perhaps just temporarily due to the current politcal and economic uncertainties. What are your thoughts on the sector? How would you rate FNV and BTO? Are there other companies in the sector you would prefer? Thanks.

Also, any silver companies that pay high dividends worth looking at?

Q: My question is in regards to your information about US$ Dividends. I contacted Questrade where I have an account and they were pretty clear that if I have these stocks with the TSX, then they get paid in CA$. Here is what they said:

"I will like to let you know that we are not exchanging your dividend. We are only depositing the currency we received into your account. And I have double checked with our team and they confirm we can't change the currency of the dividend or choose them.
I am sorry you will need to contact investor relation of the company to help you with this. Please note we only deposit as what we receive from the company."

This is quite different from what the article on your home page says. Am I misunderstanding? Could you please explain. Thanks so much!

Q: Good Day,
My current gold holding is BTO. Given the unrest in Mali I am contemplating a switch to a 50/50 split between KL and GCM. Your thoughts on this would be welcome.

Thanks.

Q: Thanks to Moez for a nice article/stock screener today. I was surprised to see so many companies from the Metals sector.

IF he were to apply one more criterion to the 22 companies that made the list, i.e. debt load, which companies would come up on the top?
( the companies with the least debt load to the most)
Thanks.
