Q: As my hedge against what I believed would be the possible decline of the U.S. dollar as the U.S.A. issued more and more debt, gold producers K and NGT have come to represent roughly 5% of my portfolio. With the uncertainty caused by Covid-19, K and NGT have increased in value nicely and have served as a useful hedge against declines elsewhere in my portfolio. Now with all the government assistance, I believe that government balance sheets everywhere will be seriously strained, but as this is a worldwide phenomenon perhaps the U.S. dollar will not fare so badly against the rest of the world. Is it time to take profits in K and NGT ?

Q: I would like to add a large major gold producer to my portfolio, which one of the five (AEM, NGT, FNV, ABX or WPM) would you pick? Thanks.

Q: I am going to add Gold to my portfolio and am looking for your advice. I really like the Franco-Nevada model being that they have royalties and do not own mines, but it seems quite expensive? Thoughts on evaluations etc ? Depending on your thoughts I would like to add FNV and an actual gold miner. The ones I have listed have a larger market cap as I am not interested in too small of gold miners.

With all the things going on in the world right now, how concerned are you of a recession in the US that will drag Canada into it? The flags I am concerned about right now are: 10yr bull market, US balance sheet issues, repos, inverted yield curve, Fed policy (decreasing interest rates), trade war, global slowing. A lot of other countries hold US paper........ It makes you wonder how much more debt the US can endure and maintain a strong dollar.

We all know that there is going to be a correction at some point in the future....but something to me feels different about what is coming. Maybe I am just a paranoid investor...I have to quit watching the prepper shows!

Besides gold what is the best way to protect ourselves in the event that the US has a financial crisis that affects their dollar?
