Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

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: Due to the impending trade war ( thanks to Donald!)and the trouble it will cause in the market, I am holding some cash in my portfolio 10%, and would also like to invest in some gold to further my safety net. Do you think this is a good idea, and if so, what golds stocks or ETF's would you recommend and what weighting?

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: In the event that inflation "gets ahead of itself" and rates have to rise to faster than expected would gold be a good hold? I have a small 1.5% position in FNV and am thinking to adding or would you go with GLD. The charts and management of FNV are excellent.

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: 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
