Investment Q&A

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

Q: With the huge amounts of dollars being infused into the economic system by governments around the world are we going to be seeing the reduction of the value of currencies around the globe? Does it make sense at this time to invest in other asset classes such as gold, silver or anything else you can suggest.
And if diversifying into another asset class makes sense, how would one go about buying gold or silver or any other asset class you can suggest.
thanks, Jean

Q: Is buying PHYS a low risk proxy to owning physical gold since it actually holds the gold?
Is buying UUP a low risk proxy for buysing US$ or could there be unexpected volatility of the ETF ouside of dollar fluxuations?
Likewise for GBTC for Bitcoin?

It like to get a close to buying US$, Gold, and a bit of Bitcoin but without having to physically obtain - have I chosen approapriate vehicles for this or could I get blindsided?

Q: What is your favorite gold stock? Looking to invest $100K in Gold Stocks or ETF's. I think that stocks are going to take a much larger drop and I am looking for at least a little bit of stability. I don't hold any gold or precious metals stocks right now. I can handle the risk.

Q: Good Morning,
There has been a lot of talk about the value of owning gold in a portfolio recently. I was wondering if you could let me know how I can go about owning gold inside my TFSA? In addition, would now be a good time to buy gold, or would it be better to wait until markets rebound. In other words, is gold a better buy when markets are doing well.

Regards,

Ryan

Q: Hi 5i Team.
Can you suggest some companies, or ETF's, that have a high leverage to the prices of gold and silver? Any other suggestions on how to play that market is immensely appreciated? Is your opinion on the strength of gold and silver, positive, for the near/intermediate future? Thank you!

Q: HI, I have USD cash, and have decided to balance out some US holdings with US cash with gold exposure. Can you give me a few options to participate in gold. Perhaps your favorite small to mid cap gold plays and a gold bullion etf exposure? Looking for any help here. Thanks.
