Q: Hi Peter,
Any idea why Brookfield Infrastructure partners is going down? I was thinking of taking a full position of 5 % rather than diversifying with Stantec etc. Also, what is the reason for stocks such as Hudbay Minerals and Agrium to continue to go up and is this sustainable? I have noticed the canadian banks and insurance especially TD Bank and Manulife have gone up alot lately. Do you think it is time to trim them as they look over bought. Lastly, can you comment on why Ceapro and B2Gold are taking a hit. The big prediction was gold was going to go much higher after Trump, but all of a sudden, gold continues to experience declines. Thanks very much.

Q: Peter and Team,

Can you give me your current thoughts on B2 Gold with recent price action and their recent earnings report? I think things are looking quite good and the stock seems to buck gold on down days and run up more than gold price on up days. Today, it has broken through the triple top level it had set a few years ago.

Would love your thoughts. For reference, my portfolio is just about a match for the BE model portfolio and BTO represents approximately 2.4% of my equity holdings. Physical precious metals and stocks make up approximately 10.5% of my total invested assets.

Thanks!

Marc

Q: Whats you outlook on gold in general. Held this for years through some big ups and downs and thinking of getting out with the recent Brexit price bump. Wondering however with seasonality supposedly turning positive over the next few months whether to hang on a little longer.

Q: My portfolio has roughly 13% exposure to materials, with about 8.5% being in the precious metals group. In general, I do feel that the precious metal sector will do well into the foreseeable future, due in significant part to increased global money supply, expanding sovereign debt, etc. The majority of my exposure to the group is divided between AEM, SMF and BTO. My concern with SMF and BTO is mainly jurisdictional: they have been doing much better as of 2016. My question is whether I would be better off selling my positions in SMF and BTO and buying a company with assets in politically safer jurisdictions (like AEM, or perhaps another company you could suggest), or whether it would be more prudent to keep my allocation as is. I have no reason to question the management of SMF or BTO, but I have learned with experience that there is significant benefit for a mining company to have its properties in areas where there will be no ambiguity as to how the extracted resources will be treated.

As always, I appreciate any wisdom that you have to offer. Thanks so much, and I look forward to your response.
