Q: I want to add 5% Gold and Silver to my portfolio - I have a bit of GLD - Should I add to it? or what else would be a good buy and hold ETF/Stock
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.

Q: I am planning to sell ABX to take a tax loss. However, I like to stay invest in the gold/gold miner sector. I can get my wife to buy back ABX or any of the above companies. I would like your opinion on your preferred investment vehicle in gold/gold miner at this time > any of the above 5 companies? or do you have any other favorite company in this sector ? BTW, can you let me know if I buy ABX in the NYSE, will its dividend qualified for Canadian dividend tax credit ? Thank you.
Q: What ETF or method would you recommend for an investor who wants to hold some gold (bullion, not the miners), unhedged to the Canadian dollar and with good liquidity. I have heard so many gold bugs talk about the importance of investing in “physical” gold as opposed to “paper” gold. Do you believe this thesis of “physical” gold and does GLD (US) meet this requirement?
Q: I own CEF.A in my open CAD account and the USD version of the Central Fund of Canada in my TFSA. Is there a comparable investment substitute for these two?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Q: Given all the world events and the fact we are at the end of a prolonged bull market could you give me your thoughts on a gold hedge play. I have a small position in DGC(.75%). Would you suggest adding here or selling this for another or just staying put?
Would you suggest a stock or the bullion and could you give me suggestions on both?
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter/5i Research Team,
If I was to take a position in gold, just wondering whether it would be better to invest in a gold etf such as GLD or in gold mining companies. Also would you please recommend some gold mining stocks.

Harry

Q: Physical gold is down to levels last seen in February. I get it that it can always go lower, but is there anything about the price of gold alone that sets a defacto floor (analogously to book value for a business), or is it too much at the mercy of dollar strength, etc., to think of in this way?
