Q: Hello 5i,

We have a combined position of 2% with XBM (25%), MP, 25%) and REMX (50%). Is there a stock or ETF that should be added to this suite as we may be light on copper, nickel, cobalt, or other minerals for battery and AI growth. If we were to increase the combined position to 3% or 4%, would you increase one more over the others?

Thank you
D&J

Q: My granddaughter has an individual stock portfolio which I need to change to an ETF portfolio as she does not personally follow or trades stocks and I am no longer able to manage the account.
Would you please suggest a portfolio of ETFs that is diversified as well as recommendations for ETFs that focus on precious metals, base metals and energy?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: Hi 5i,

My portfolio currently has a full position in XGD which has been brilliant. Looking forward, how do you view opportunities in base metals/copper and uranium versus gold?

As the commodity rally broadens I want to expand my positions beyond gold and am looking for ETF exposure. I see ZMT and XBM for Canadian listed base metals, and HURA for uranium. Are there any other ETFs that you focus on?

Thanks in advance and please remove credits as needed.
