Q: Good evening,

1) I feel that the materials sector will do well in 2026, do you agree?

2) If yes, which of the above etf's do you think would do the best given market conditions, their holdings, etc?

Do you have any individual stocks you would recommend in the materials sector that you think would outperform the etf's?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Sheldon

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.
