Q: Further to the previous questions on gold, I understand that you prefer senior gold companies over junior ones; and prefer dividend paying gold producers over holding the bullion itself. Given this, I would like to ask how you think a royalty company fits into the mix. As a hedge against inflation, would a royalty company (i.e. Franco Nevada) be preferable to senior gold producer (i.e. Barrick Gold) or would the two types of companies complement one another in this scenario? Thanks.

Q: Thank you for your prompt response to my past questions. I find this to be a very useful forum.
I have a general question for you. I am looking at adding equities to my portfolio. Am I best to wait until after the tax-loss selling season, say mid to late December?

Q: Hi Peter: Portfolio questions about Gold: In your view, is it necessary to maintain gold exposure all the time (given that the portfolio is small enough to maintain reasonable liquidity and allow one to be nimble) or is it something that one can move in and out of depending on how things are going? In either case, what signs would cause you to increase/decrease exposure? On a percentage of total investments basis, how much gold exposure do you think is appropriate at present and how high or how low could you see that going over the next few years? Can one's gold exposure be expected to provide a good ROI, even if the various things it is supposed to hedge against aren't materializing over the next few years? Finally, what category of gold investments would you favour to provide both the hedge/insurance aspect and a decent prospect of a return in the meantime. Thanks!

Q: Hi Folks,
First off, I must thank you for your service.I have always respected Peter's advice on tv & that trust has been continued with his staff at 5I.
My question concerns cross border income trusts from the US.The trust is Argent Energy Trust which is located in Texas so they get $10 above the posted West Texas price.They pay a 11% yield, increased production 15% 2nd qtr. and have access to acquistions.This all sounds wonderful but I'm interested in your comments on this trust.
Thanks,
Dave
