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.

Q: Hello folks:
I am very surprised by the paucity of questions on Gold sector, especially when some of the regular BNN experts like Ross Healy and many others in Seeking Alpha seem to think that the support of 1300 plus will hold and Gold's time to shine is finally here.

Your words of wisdom and your top 3 picks for this sector.
Many thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team,
My question is about how to invest in commodities as a buy and hold retail investor. I read in Tony Robbin's book about Ray Dalio's all weather portfolio that it allocates 7.5% to commodities and 7.5% to precious metals. These two asset classes are supposed to protect a portfolio from accelerated inflation. Is this statement accurate?

Thanks for your great service.
Regards,
Danny

Q: I am looking for a safe investment for a 15 to 20 year period. A kind of investment that I can sort of forget about for 10 to 15 years. I have noticed that gold has gone up 288% in the last 16 years. Would it be a good idea to invest 25 to 30% of my portfolio in gold bouillon for this kind of investment? What about any other precious metals worth looking at?

Q: Nice folks I hold 5% gold exposure split between GLD and FNV. Do you have an opinion on gold for the next quarter and/or year. There is some rumour that some central banks may be selling gold aggressively and some opinion that gold could be heading downward. Your thoughts on that as well would be great to read. Lastly would you suggest simply sitting tight with the current weighting and holdings I have as an appropriate "forever" holding. Thanks so much.

Q: In light of the recent market turmoil and prospects of a global trade war I feel I should have some exposure to gold. In your opinion, would it be best to invest in a specific gold miner (miners), a gold ETF or perhaps a royalty company. I'm looking for a longer term hold.

Q: I've read/heard various things about "Commodities" being poised to do well. When commodities are being referred to, how does this refer to specific stocks or ETFs that can be purchased on the stock market? Are we talking the commodities market, certain ETF's, gold and silver stocks, etc.?

What is your best suggestion on stocks, etf's that would benefit from this positive "commodity" outlook?

Q: Hello. On Nov. 24, your answer to Steven regarding PHYS and GLD was “but if you want truly physical bullion representation, for crisis insurance purposes, there are better options.”

Would you please elaborate regarding what “better options” an individual investor should consider.

Thanks.
