Q: I hold WPM and have always preferred it as a senior precious metals royalty play as I think it has the largest silver exposure and I expect silver to catch up at some point soon. I'm considering now whether I should split my position between WPM and FNV as recent news suggests Panama may start talks to perhaps re-open the Cobre Panama mine and FNV would likely have alot of extra upside in that case over time if it happens. How do the 2 compare valuation wise against each other, what are your thoughts on both.

Q: Currentlly my portfolio in gold consists of 3 holdings. They are :

AEM - YTD + 20%, 1 YR + 90%

NUGT - YTD + 34% 1YR + 67%

WGX - YTD - 8% N/A

As you can see the weed in the portfolio is wgx.

Question to you is when I prune WGX out of the portfolio should I just put that money into the other 2 holdings or should I add a third that is an elite performer.

What would be the best from a portfolio management perspective and if you decided to add a third what would it be?

Sheldon

PS Don't worry about NUGT I know the ins and out and have made lots of money on these leveraged ETF's like NUGT, QLD, NAIL, etc

Thanks

Q: Can I get your thoughts on Capstone please? Seems to keep dropping and now with talk of tariffs and maybe smaller AI infrastructure, it’s not looking great. Would you still hold here? If not, do you have another recommendation for materials sector? CAD or US? My only other one in this sector is Agnico Eagle.

Q: Merry Christmas! I wish you all the best and a very prosperous year ahead.

With the latest canadian data and of course added political turmoil here. And rates abroad and our neighbors.

It would appear gold will have room to run still. If you do agree I'd like to know.

I'm looking at adding that exposure as I have none with the recent pull back.

My favorite candidates are AEM, WPM.
Would you please provide a reasonable buy range and if anyone is ranked above them in your mind, please mention.

Thank you very much.

Q: Gentlemen:
This is a two part question. I have been holding a large number of B2 gold shares for 12 years, and it has been a disgrace. In your opinion is there any light at the end of the tunnel? Second Part--- Of the above companies( In an OCT 31 question from Maurice, you thought AGI and LUG had the best growth potential ), would that still be your opinion. Please rank them for growth at this date-BEST FIRST. Also please rank them for RISK- LEAST to most. THANKS, BEN.

Q: In a best case scenario, I think 4 years of Donald Trump in power will be chaotic and discruptive in the US and globally. In a worst case, I believe the US is heading for internal unrest/violence, and the certain parts of the globe will be at war. If you were a 74 year old investor who has done well listening to 5i the last 2 years, how would you now hedge against these scenarios?

Q: Hello 5i team,

For our TFSA, we hold AEM & ABX and RRSP - FCX long term over 5 years or so. We try to keep to 3 names max and keep trimming them down.

I appreciate having your thought on switching to PAAS / WPM or sell them all off and switching to energy/ energy services like OXY, BEPC, CNQ. We already have Enbridge, TC & Pembina in our portfolio for income. Thank you

Q: Hello Team,

Can I get your thoughts on Gold over the next few years. I currently have about 3% of my portfolio in Gold stocks and thinking about increasing to 5-6%.

Where do you think the market in general will price Gold stocks? Do you see an "AI" type frenzy at all coming with gold prices heading towards $3000. I feel most companies are under priced/valued.

Can you give me your top 3-4 high growth gold stocks.

Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i team,
I wanted to add to my WPM holding and was wondering if it is still ok to add at these levels?

For MG, it has taken a hit in the past year and wanted to initiate a position at this level, are you still comfortable with Magna or is there something more fundamental going on.

Thank You,
Anrew

Q: Hello 5i team,
With the addition of WPM to the balanced portfolio, are you still going to be holding onto AEM having 2 pure material stocks at once?

Both are at or near all time highs.

Thanks,
Andrew

Q: Hello 5i, I've held FNV at 2% weight for the past 6 years as a hedge and precious metal/materials component. It's total return is close to 8%. Shares are in a non-registered account so modest cap gain if I sell. My question is should I hold or sell for WPM , AEM or GFI. All three have materially outperformed FNV past 5 years. Based on your outlook, does it make any sense to trade FNV for WPM or others or just hold in the anticipation of FNV sorting out their issues in Panama, etc? Thanks for all you do.
