Investment Q&A

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

Q: I owned CXB and it more than doubled. Then I wanted something a little more established so I put the money into KL. It started off well but then I ended up down 20%. When it merged with AEM, I sold KL for the tax loss and bought AEM thinking the combined company looked like a really good gold company. Now I am down 4% on AEM. This now amounts to less than 1% of my overall portfolio. Gold is supposed to be a stabilizer in a portfolio but I have lost faith in it. I certainly don't want to buy more. Do you think someone should have a little gold in their portfolio?

Q: My Materials sector needs to be increased to about 10% of portfolio - currently I have only 1.3% - all held in KL (underwater 15%).
I note you have ccl.b in the Balanced Portfolio but it does not seem to be in your recent recommendations for Materials ? ?
At the moment my shopping list looks like this:
LUN, IVN, ERO, NEO, NTR, RS, FCX, XGD ( Sell KL ??) , CCL.b ??
Would appreciate your assessment and comments and suggestions for alternatives. Dividend not necessary.
Use whatever number of question credits req'd. Thanks as always.
