Q: Peter, I own VG formely Yukon Gold. They seem to be making progress with production, would you hold as my price for breaking even is $3.75
Q: ANS/ANS.RT Ainsworth has issued rights that became free trading yesterday. It appears to be a complicated formula that either I or the market has misperceived. I am hoping you can clarify this for me.
The formula is: 1 share gives the owner 1 right. Each right allows the owner to buy 1.4 (rounded up) shares for $1.25.
Yesterday one right traded for $1.40 (roughly) and one share traded for $2.30 (roughly).
By my calculation either the share is overpriced or the right is underpriced by around 20%! By buying 1 right for $1.40 I will end up paying $1.90 per share for each fully exercised right. By selling my share at $2.30 I have pocketed a tidy profit that will be realised on the excise date (Dec. 21). Do you agree?

Q: PSN ...Given: An astonshing 70 million shares have traded hands in the last couple of weeks ... And, for every seller there is a buyer.
Is this company dead in the water, just not officially declared so?
Or, are the buyers discerning opportunists ... or wild eyed gamblers?
Or something else?
Now, the real question: Are we at the point where the risk reward has tipped into the reward camp?
Thanks for your perspective.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i team, A while ago, you answered a question on gold. I am very much in agreement with your reasons for holding gold and also what to hold. However, you likened gold to insurance and suggested to have some always. That suggests a permanent typa deal. For long periods (20-25 years stretches), gold could be a drag on the portfolio. I intend to get out of it once the threat of banking collapse, hyperinflation/currency-debasement and turmoil in global money system all subside. Are we so different on this point?
