For a TFSA with a long term horizon (5+ years) would you please rank these companies, keeping in mind their current valuation?

Q: Hi,
As a South African, I have had an affinity for Gold and Gold stocks over the years. I knew about the Krugerrand when I was just a child, lol. However, I have to say that I have never really made money from holding onto gold stocks. I own KL, AGI and BTO and except for KL i am losing money on the other two. If I can’t make money in this environment of excessive money printing and low interest rates , I wonder when I ever can. Over the years, I have been disappointed with gold stocks, with a buying and hold strategy working in my disfavour and waiting 5 years to just then break even. I do have a diversified portfolio and thanks to 5 I for some of the great ideas. Your comments are appreciated?
Thanks,

Q: Which 5 Canadian and US companies would 5i want to be holding when we get a significant market moving vaccine/treatment announcement? Tech and gold have been powerful during the pandemic but I want to make sure I am considering the right companies to add to provide balance if tech pauses and different sectors are needed for a leg higher. Your favs in each market and how/why you see them reacting to the announcement. Multiple credits are assumed.
