Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I read this is an article from Matterhorn Asset Management:

"Your best friend and protector in this ignominious company of bubble assets and falling currencies are precious metals in the form of physical gold and silver.

But please ignore PAPER gold and silver (including ETFs) which one day will be worthless."

I hold both both of these funds in approximately equal percentages. Should holding my precious metals via Sprott alleviate any concerns I should have about the investment becoming "worthless"?

Q: Good morning - what would be your choices in the real estate and consumer defensive sectors at this time ( for long term holds)? I am concerned about the near term future for retail real estate ( i had a long career in retail realty) as well as for the longer term of office realty. Apartments and Industrial look more appealing and I currently hold IIP, Dream Industrial. Add more, or diversify, maybe to Granite? I have very little in Consumer Defensive. As always, thanks.

Q: I have looked at REAL recently with the idea of investing in the company. What gives me pause is that the company shares have been in a steady down slope for the past 4 months and insider selling has been non stop over this period. Given this, especially the insider selling , could you please provide rationale for buying shares when people in the know have been steadily selling their shares. Thanks

Q: Titan is trading extremely high volumes without any available information other the Q3 report. Could this be trading by personnel with insider information. What is your opinion. Is there any information that your team might have on Titan regarding this possible large increase in share price.

Q: 5I team - I have marvelled today at the quality of your answers to questions and, in particular, options questions. Great job. My question is on methodology of "optimizing" covered call strategies and would request any reference you may have available in addition to a response.I have held MRNA and sold 109 Dec covered calls, purchased the calls when the stock went to 129, resold 125 Dec CC and am now trying to develop a strategy with the stock at 149. Is the simple and. most effective process to buy the calls back and place a stop loss position short of the current price? Again, if you have a reference to provide options in dealing with this, it would be much appreciated. Thank you

Q: I'm currently in SIS, but not happy that they haven't grown the company this year and am worried the cuts to maintain net income may hamper future growth, unless a major acquisition is made.
I have a long term horizon and rarely sell, but I am considering a switch to REAL. Would this be wise in your view, or should I be more patient and forgiving with SIS?

Other than personal RE and BAM, I currently have no equity exposure to RE at this time.
Thanks,
