Q: These gold/silver companies have sky rocketed in the last little while. With prospects of a higher gold price do you think these are worth a speculative buy with a small amount of money? Would you wait for things to calm down a bit before getting in?

Q: hello 5i Research team, PHO: 3 of the 5 board members only got 75% or 76% of « vote for » at the annual meeting. This is quite unusual. Could you identify some potential significant investors that would have voted against? Are awhere of anything about those persons that would explain this? Should I worry, especially with a new president? Can we expect some divergence of opinion between management and shareholders that could cause some change in the organization? Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: Hello 5i,
I am aware that the CAD markets are tied closely to the US markets; evidently with the S&P500/TSX composite. However, I don't fully understand it in the context of emergence from the COVID crisis. Canada has performed much better and it seems like reopening is more realistic here than in the US.

My question is, would it be possible for some CAD stocks to outperform and be disconnected with the USD markets since we are handling the crisis relatively better? If so, what sectors and top 3 stocks in those sectors would you pick?

Please deduct credits as you find appropriate.

Q: We are now down about 7% on the S&P from the recent high. The virus is rising vigorously in parts of the U. S. If you guys were traders ( which I know you are not) would you see this as a signal to take profits and raise cash?? Or, to put it another way, do you see a likelyhood of a correction back close to the 200-day average, where we are now?? Thanks Jim

Q: I know U.S listed Chinese companies are likely not your primary focus but I'm very interested in some of the tech based companies China is producing (KC.US specifically). I understand there are political risks but do you see 3-5 companies that you find VERY interesting as a mid-term hold? Or is this a space too filled with risk to bother?

Q: Since you last spoke about GSI in March, the company has announced a multitude of contracts. As a result, its momentum has become extremely positive and its market cap has now tripled to $35M. With good future potential but recognizing that it's still very small and high risk, is it starting to become more interesting?

Q: I have been keeping a lot of money out of the market for most of this year waiting for stability to return. Bonds seemed to be pretty much a pointless investment to me for the last few years but I've reconsidered. Putting a chunk of cash into a bond etf seems better than just leaving it in my account where it earns next to nothing. On the other hand, it's safe where it is. How safe are bond ETFs? I'm particularly thinking of bond ETFs which don't seem to bounce around much like BLV, VLB, and XLB, but which seem to have done well YTD.
