Q: You recently responded to a question suggesting investing in materials as ‘inflation protection’. I have zero exposure to the sector. I have 10% of my portfolio in IBIT in lieu of precious metals.

Would you consider bitcoin exposure as an effective alternative to materials for inflation protection?

Also, please offer your top 3 names in the materials sector, Canada or US, ranked if possible.

Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i, I am thinking of buying this ETF but I don’t mind buying six companies in the materials sector to get diversification and possibly a better dividend. Can you name 6 material companies that act like proxy with dividends in mind that are ex Canada.
