Q: Hi Team,

I have a slightly overweight position in Franco Nevada, a half position in each of Agnico Eagle and Klondex, less than a half position in Silver Wheaton and bullion holdings including CEF.A.

I am trying to clean up a bit and am considering selling SLW and adding the proceeds to CEF.A, and selling KDX and adding the proceeds to AEM. I would be left with FNV, AEM and bullion as a result.

This would allow me to increase my weighting in bullion and reduce my weighting in bullion equities and move to full positions (or so) in the remaining holdings.

Do you have any feedback on this plan?

Thank you, Michael.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Lately I have been reading about the coming " Debt Crisis" as every country is printing money from thin air to avoid a recession. However for numerous reasons I believe we are probably setting ourselves up for something much worse...I am not a gold or silver bug but I think the time has come to create some protection so I can sleep better at night and when I happens I will not be upset with myself for being so rigid and denying reality. So please give me your opinion on a couple of junior gold and silver stocks that are of good value now and for the long term! Thanks for your reliable and consistently excellent insights!

Q: Hello 5i team, Could you explain what is gold streaming and how revenue is generated and taxed? What is the difference between streaming and royalties? Would you recommend investing in streaming companies such as franco nevada as an alternative to have gold in your portfolio or in conjunction with? Would this be considered in the income portion of a portfolio? If you know of a good source that explains it please post. Thanks in advance

Q: Hi 5i team,

Can you provide comment on ssl and if you would condone a 5% investment. Also, with gold typically being a hedge to market/economic capitulation, can you comment on the 5% weight the 5i team typically prescribes please. If the overall portfolio dropped 20%, the 5% gold holding would have to increase nearly 4x to effectively hedge the loss. In this volatile market, would a heavier weighting would be a prudent defensive position?

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
Because of the uncertainties in Central Banks' monetary policies, negative yields in some parts of the world and risk of Helicopter economics, I think it is time to get some exposure in Gold; I will start with half a position (2% of my portfolio equally divided among the 3 above.
Your opinion is most valuable

Q: I would like to buy FNV. You say you are "very comfortable" with FNV. I've done some basic research and see that S&P Capital rates it a sell;TD as a hold; Thompson Reuters a buy. A news brief says "FNV files for mixed shelf of up to $2.0bln." INK Research shows that FNV insiders were doing lots of selling in March. HELP! How do I interpret all this?

Q: I don't own any gold stocks but am thinking of adding them as insurance. I would buy a bit each month for the next few months. Goldcorp seems to be the worst of them performance wise? Would you still suggest this is the one I buy or would you prefer Agnico or FNV? I was thinking about putting 5% of my portfolio in it. Which stocks should I choose and what percentage of this 5% should each be? Or is one enough? Is gold better in a TFSA, RRSP or non-registered?
