Q: Franco Nevada is my only gold holding. Down ~15% on it. I want to add more to gold, should i add more to FNV or is there a better gold stock you like more? How is FNV priced in terms of P/E or whatever ratios you think are most relevant and how does that look vs peers?

I was thinking just the actual gold ETF, but i think a miner would have more torque iuf gold prices rise. I like the royalty model

I have a divided the amount I set aside for Gold (long time hold as a hedge against many variables) between GLD,XGD and ZJG. But the Junior Golds cost me money! Down about 12%. On GLD and XGD I am up. Will the Juniors see the light of the day soon? Or should one wrap up th e position and move it to XGD/GLD? Or your favourite PHYS?

Q: KRR is 2.4% of my RRSP and I am up about 110% (also hold KRR and XGD in other accounts). Can you please tell me a bit more about KRR? I know it mines gold and nickel.
After significant declines with small caps like AT, XBC and REAL, I am a bit leery of KRR and wonder if its time to take a bit of profit, but I am reluctant with such good momentum. Can you please tell us again what dollar cap amount defines a small cap, med cap and large cap?
Thanks!!
