Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I read a lot about how the West need rare earth minerals. One of the leading ETFs in this space appears to be Van Eck's REMX. It is down year to date, and down over most time periods in the last 10 years.

Why is this ETF down so much when there is apparently such demand for the products? Do you feel this is a good time to buy with a 2-5 year hold? What could cause the ETF to break out of its current funk?

Thank you for your valued advice.

Q: Dear 5i team.

Can you provide an update on your views re: ETL?
Looking at the chart, it's had some crazy runs in it's history, so if you could look back and shine some light on this for me, would be great.
Are they in production?
What is the current outlook for Lithium prices?
Speculate a bit on demand for Lithium based on current macro outlook and EV production? Any other uses for Lithium that could drive demand.

Many thanks for your insights.

Q: Are there any advantages to buying a physical gold bar at Costco vs holding in through an etf such as GLD?
Secondly, notwithstanding the incredible recent run up in the commodity and the miners, what is your outlook on gold for the next 5 to 10 years?
Lastly, if the sector is still appealing to you, would you buy the commodity etf, a seniors etf or a juniors etf?

Thank you and please deduct credits as you deem fit.
