Investment Q&A

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

Q: I think the added category of "Investor Resources and Strategies" was a great suggestion. It's clear from some of the answers to member questions that you are expecting the current downward momentum in, for example, junior mining and gold/silver stocks to continue for a bit. Could you provide some guidance - technical and/or other - on what you look for to determine when sector momentum shifts either up or down? Would these signals change with different sectors ? Thank you.

Q: Hi peter,a comment and a question---it seems whenever someone is on bnn and talks about a stock you have a report on or that is in your model portfolio then they ask a question for confirmation, syz being the latest example.
My question is, i own lots of tourmaline -- no dividend,long before you put it in your model portfolio, but rpl, pbn, mmt, and now sgl are all yielding between 11 and 15 per cent, would you recommend any of these or is the risk just too great.thanks dave

Q: Good Morning Peter and Team,
I have been very slowly averaging into the gold mining sector over the last year using ETF's- IShares XGD and BMO's ZJG along with equities- Central Fund of Canada (CEF.A- TSX) and Silver Bullion Trust (SBT.UN- TSX). So far it has been like catching a falling knife and I look pretty stupid but I truly believe that we are still in a long term secular bull market in precious metals. Do you think we are approaching the "PUKE POINT" for this wave or cycle ??? Also I would appreciate your opinion of my stategy.
Thank you very much. DL

Q: hello 5i:
in light of the high rating given to PLB in the recent report, would it not be a more logical candidate to hold in a portfolio than VRX? Realizing there are differences in the market served, but both are in the same general market sector.
thanks

Q: Hi Peter and team,

I would like your thoughts about Coeur d'Alene's purchase of Orko. There are three options on the table for shareholders to consider: A)70cents cash , 0.0815 of a common share of Coeur and 0.01118 of a warrant to purchase Coueur shares at $30 doallars for each Orko share B)To receive 0.1118 of a common share of Coeur and 0.01118 of a warrant to purchase a Coeur share for each share tendered (subject to proration) or C)Cash and Warrants (subject to Proration) to recieive 2.60 in cash and 0.01118 of a warrant to purchase a Coeur share for each share tendered.
I would be making a tiny profit on option C and Orko was my only exposure to the Silver mining sector at this moment.

Which option would you recommend and why? I guess your opinion about Silver prices going forward, and Silver miners (Couer)in general, would be needed to help understand your perspective.
Thanks in advance,

Arturo

Q: On your "View by Category" section, adding Investor Resources as a category would be a help.
You have made many suggestions as to where we can get more detailed information or technical tools, such as changes in short interest, and your subscribers have also sent in sites. If you started that category it would build up over time and be quite useful.
