Q: Hello folks:
I am very surprised by the paucity of questions on Gold sector, especially when some of the regular BNN experts like Ross Healy and many others in Seeking Alpha seem to think that the support of 1300 plus will hold and Gold's time to shine is finally here.

Your words of wisdom and your top 3 picks for this sector.
Many thanks.

Q: I currently hold very little gold exposure and would like your recommendation on what to buy to establish a full position. Also are there two or 3 junior mining companies on your radar for a small "exploratory" position? Thanks very much.

Q: Gentlemen Good Morning
Your answer today about dividends in US$
"Holding US-dollar dividend companies inside a US account saves this fee, and we would prefer to see them held in a US dollar account"
Not always thru unfortunately.
At NBDB, if you have CSU, FNV, OTEX, NTR in US account the fees fx/x conversion are double, because NBDB said it receive dividends in Ca$ from their agent (or custodian). I will complain to the Ombudsman.
At Scotia-ITrade they said the dividends are in Canadian by default because its a Canadian corporation, but they deny that dividends are payed in US$. The agents don't understand (or not competent)
At BMO said they dividends as paid in US$ if the stock is in US account, I feel some uncertainty on this answer but maybe true
VB said "This will only happen for two reasons at Virtual Brokers. First, if you do not have an U.S. side open in your account. Second, if the company trades on Canadian exchanges and pays the dividends in U.S. dollars we convert it to Canadian". Its clear. The G&M gives to VB best discount broker.
Best Regards.

Q: FNV, KL and AEM appear to be your current favorites in the gold sector based on recent responses. (Feel free to correct this.)
I have AEM and am trying to decide whether to add a bit more or sell it and get something else. The risk-reward calculus of FNV as a royalty co looks pretty attractive. Would you switch? Which of the three is your favourite overall?
Thanks!

Q: Hi,
Both these gold companies are having production and political issues.
Should I consolidate sell one to buy the other one, or do you have a couple of recommendations in the gold sector to replace them.
Thank you
Ed

Q: RBC has down graded ABX mostly because of concerns with the Acacia mine in Tanzania. I would like to increase my investment in ABX, as I think the market may be turning to the gold sector for safety in these turbulent times. How concerned should I be about the RBC report? Do you agree? In past comments you have favoured/suggested alternative gold companies, do you have a preference today? ABX is my only gold holding...………..Thankyou, Lionel

Hi Peter, can I get your updated view / valuations on FZZ since last? He says he studies Berkshire and Franco Nevada and wants to become the best gold company. Talks about cash per share and not issuing shares or using options as compensation like Buffett says. Would you favor to stick with Freehold, Silver Wheaton, SPDR, and Sprotts physical gold silver etf instead? Thanks!
