Hi Travis and my Irregular Friends, I was just wondering your thoughts on how the price of gold is acting during this downturn. I understand interest rates affect on gold but inflation should help especially if the dollar looses its luster a bit. I just don’t see gold being seen as a safe haven this […]

Future Equinox deal
I’d like to have some exposure to the upcoming (EQX.V) deal so my question is what’s the best way to do this ahead of the deal. I can’t buy on the Canada Ventures through my Scottrade account. If I was to invest in TREK (LWLCF) would those shares automatically turn into EQX when they are […]
I’d like to allocate about 20% ($10,000) currently, of my investments in physical gold. Can some of my friendly Gumshoe Irregulars share with me the best way to buy and eventually sell my physical gold? Where or who from and to? 1 oz. coins or 1 oz. bars? Does it really matter if you’re not […]
Pretium (PVG) first gold pour. Thoughts?
I know there are many of our Irregular’s who have owned (PVG) for a long time and finally got some news about their first pour being completed. I have some Sept. $11 calls hoping some good news come by then. I noticed on Scottrade and (PVG) website they don’t have a date for 2Q earnings […]
New to Interactive Brokers
I have recently opened an acct. with Interactive Brokers service in order to buy some of the smaller Canadian exploration companies that have little liquidity or no opportunity to buy on the OTC or pinks in the US. I find myself a little intimidated with the IB platform or platforms as my other trading acct. […]
Your thought’s about Silver Weaton (SLW) ?
I’ve enjoyed a nice profit in SLW over the past few months with call options and I assume I’m not alone. I like the fact that SLW is now a gold/silver streaming company 40/60% respectively with 75% of the gold coming from Vale 300,000 oz. per year with huge upside potential. RGLD is almost 3x […]
Golds next bull run? What to buy?
Gold looks to be headed higher even with a strong dollar so what are the best ways to play the next bull run in gold? I know Travis has (SAND) in his portfolio but I’d like to know his thoughts as well as yours. Do long term call options make sense for more leverage? I’d […]
SDRL & NATDF
Travis and all others, I’ve been looking for a good entry point in SDRL now that we’re in the 30’s again and I was researching North Atlantic Drilling (NATDF). SDRL owns 70% of NATDF (just recently). NATDF also pays a 9+% divvy and is priced under $10.00. They only have a few rigs with a […]
Buying SAND are You?
I’m just wondering if anyone else is scooping up Sandstorm Gold (SAND) at these pre consolidation prices. I know Gold in general is out of favor at this time but Sandstorm hasn’t done anything except add to their streaming deals and NSR’s over the past 2 years and they’ve grown in a down market with […]
Understanding PFIC companies. Sandstorm Gold (SAND)
I’d like to know from some of our more educated investors more about PFIC companies. If you think SAND is a PFIC company and what is the best way to invest in a PFIC company to best protect yourself from high tax issues. Please respond only if you have some expertise in this matter as […]
SKUL
Did anyone else buy into the short squeeze story covered by our favorite gumshoe pertaining to skullcandy? I bought some back @ 12.80 when the teaser was uncovered. Over 11 mil. short. Just announced 5th straight Q beating est. top and bottom line. Company looks solid and pps is over $16 at close today. Shorts […]
Is Sandstorm a PFIC company?
For all of you accountants out there, is Sandstorm Gold SNDXF a PFIC company? If so, What’s the best way to invest in it.
The Sandstorm Sister’s and Nolan Watson.
I’m most thankful this year for our favorite gumshoe sharing the whole Sandstorm story with us as I think these sister’s will be loved by all who invest in them. Nolan Watson is one of the most confident and intellegent individuals in the streaming business and now that he has reported the 3Q for SG […]

I think I'll stick with (SAND). Smart management, growing portfolio, future catalyst coming from Turkey and a lot of irons in the fire as far as exploration companies if gold were to start moving up as predicted. For less than $5 a share currently and the [...]
Zuck seems to under promise and over deliver as the norm. After 3q reports came out with fantastic numbers he then made another statement about having more control and getting tougher by regulating posts that were possible terrorist related. I think he's s[...]
I know you've covered a lot on Bitcoin and others but I have a comment and question. Comment: The block chain technology is the platform and the foundation for which bitcoin and many others are using as well as it has many other uses other than just cry[...]
I'm in the camp that see's gold dropping in price perhaps because of the bitcoin enthusiasm as a buying opportunity as it bottoms. I don't see gold fading away as Russia, China and many others are buying more gold now than in the past. Can they all be wron[...]
I've enjoyed Paul Goodwin's Emerging Market service for 7 years now. I agree with some other comments that he'll cut out a stock quickly if he sees it under-performing but he often will go back to the same stock after it begins to appeal to him once again.[...]
Travis if one wants to have exposure to the future Equinox deal is buying trek now a good option as the shares will automatically be turned into equinox share when the deal is finalized. I think the shares will pop when listed but at least on Scottrade t[...]
Travis, Your service is and always has been a wealth of information for your readers who also are generous with their knowledge, experience and time to add their input to better provide those who may not know much about so many different investment area's[...]
Thanks Travis. I've done well with China so I'll share my stocks with my other Gumshoe friends looking for possible investments that have been working out well. You may want to wait for a pullback but there haven't been many as of late. No different from [...]
Doc, Been taking 10-325 x4 daily for many years for severe joint pain. Just switched to 5mg prednisone daily. No more pain or 10-325. Wondering which is worse. Any thoughts? BTW: Had 2 organ transplants 18 years ago. Thanks. JB[...]
wunsche, I appreciate your comment and link but if I only invested in countries who I trust their leaders I wouldn't be investing in the US, China, Russia, etc. The country as a whole is bigger and better than any one leader. IMO. JB[...]

Both lithium and cooper should do well long term with the electric car explosion coming over the next couple of decades. I know Altuis has some exposure to cooper but not sure about lithium. If your looking for exploration/start-up exposure I would sugges[...]
I just wanted to add that Paul Goodwin has been around a long time and has seemed to have what I think (for what that's worth) a long lasting and pretty good track record with his picks for Emerging Markets. His portfolio of 10 stocks have done extremely w[...]

Travis, I can't say thank you enough for taking the time to answer my question. You have been a steady ship over the many years I've had the pleasure to be an Irregular. I've spent a lot of hours reading you as well as on occasion, reading between the lin[...]
Thanks for your thoughts Travis. I was thinking that some CRTO call options may be a thought as they have earnings next week. I know they provide marketing for some of these monster tech companies and since Google and Facebook are lighting it up on mobile[...]
Travis, Do you have any concerns that (SAND) will face some of the same Tax issues that (SLW) is facing since Nolan Watson probably had his hand in setting up both of these tax structures? Thanks in advance for you answer. [...]
Travis, I had two organ transplants in 2000 and I started taking Rapamycin as my anti-rejection after prograff gave me some bad side affects. I'm now taking Rapamune everyday from Pfizer. This anti-rejection drug as I know it, kind of fakes out our bodies[...]
Thanks Travis, When I see a lousy looking chart and large short interest it reminds me of LGND and look what that chart looks like now. Misunderstood companies at a good value usually turn around and the reward can be wonderful. I appreciate your hard wor[...]
