Q: In a best case scenario, I think 4 years of Donald Trump in power will be chaotic and discruptive in the US and globally. In a worst case, I believe the US is heading for internal unrest/violence, and the certain parts of the globe will be at war. If you were a 74 year old investor who has done well listening to 5i the last 2 years, how would you now hedge against these scenarios?
Q: Hi, I’m a long-time investor but do not know everything … How is it possible to easily follow the price of gold, silver, copper , etc…and their current downtrend! Are there any tickers? Or we have to rely on ETFs or specialized web sites (Kitco for example). Any suggestion to be able to integrate these in my portfolios? Or best web sites for a summary ? Thanks.
Q: Do you have any preference between GLD & PHYS? Thanks.

Q: I think this question has been asked. Instead of buying gold bullions, could you please recommend two or three etfs that are equivalent to buying bullions.
What are the differences, if any, between buying gold bullions and buying your recommended etfs?
What are your thoughts on buying gold now after the rally gold has already had so far?

Q: I read an article recently that talks about the validity of ETF's. Can you make your comments about this!
Terms are that, each share of an ETF is an IOU.
As an example what happens behind the scenes when an ETF buys gold?
The actual metal purchased is stored by a custodian such as a major bank like JP Morgan or HSBC – yes, the same banks that have been investigated for silver and gold manipulation many times in the past.
But what you may not know is that the value of each share you own, or more specifically, the share-to-metal ratio, actually decreases the longer you hold it.
For example, the fund that manages the ETF must sell gold to pay for expenses, reducing the amount of gold tied to each share.
That's one of the reasons ETFs should NEVER be considered a long-term investment.
In other words, ETFs are not the way to go if you're looking to gold as a store of value or as an insurance policy against fiat currencies.
The same goes for Bitcoin ETFs.
Over time, the ETF fund will sell some of its Bitcoin to cover operating costs and management fees. As a result, an investor's unit will gradually hold a slightly smaller amount of Bitcoin than their initial purchase.
I would appreciate receiving your comments about this information!

Q: Hi,
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?

Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR (XLP)
Q: Hi,
I was bit surprised by your answer to Kevin's question today about your sector preferences. You had chosen the following: XIT/XRE/XFN/XLY/XLV.
I thought given the current possible recession scenario lurking in the background and also from your own answers to others, you would have chosen XLP, soft or hard landing people need Staples to survive, XEG because of all the uncertainties, XBM/GLD as one expects demand to go up when China opens up. Plus as a hedge against the USD going down.
There must be a reason for your choice. I am curious to find what your rationale was/is.

Q: Hi - I am wondering if you think the move higher in gold has exhausted itself? If not, would you prefer AEM over FNV (or vice versa)...or would you favour a bullion ETF like GLD

Q: Hi,
What are some good ways to get exposure to metals?
Are there other good etfs other than XLB? That is largely copper/aluminium... are there are gold/silver tilted? Or other good ones in general?
Stock wise, what are some favourites?

Q: Peter; Do you think gold is reacting to the Chinese sabre rattling over Taiwan ? Thanks . Rod
Q: GLD is one of the ticker/companies that holds physical gold in the USA, are there any companies or units that do this in Canada? If there are one or more in Canada would you recommend say a 5% weight at this time? Would you hold physical gold at this time or prefer gold miners or streamers?
