Q: Good morning 5i,

I hold the following industrial/material stocks in my RRSP: GEV (2%), FIX (2%) ETN (1.5%), HEI (1.5%), RTX (1.3%), GE (1.2%), LIN(1.2%), EME (1%), VRT (.5%). I also own AXON (3%).

I would like to increase the weight of some of these positions - ideally through consolidation. Could you please put these in order of conviction (growth) for a 5 - 10+ year hold. Are there any that you would sell outright? Would you recommend any other industrials?

Many thanks!

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: Based on your reply to my last post, can you name 2-3 utilities and 2-3 material investments worth looking into regardless of location (US/CAN/Other).

Thank you for the incredible insights. Have a great day!
