Q: I am considering adding an ETF that provides coverage of assorted/balanced commodities. I would appreciate having some names that you would recommend; Canadian or USA. What is your opinion of adding a position as an uncorrelated asset to balance an all equity portfolio. I hold diversified energy holdings already (pipelines and producing companies in both oil and gas). I also hold mining stocks, RIO and AEM.

Q: Can you suggest any Commodity ETF's that track the S&P livestock index, or food index? Do you think that they could provide increased returns due to tariffs, or possibly other disease and weather related events that may affect global food supply?

Q: Hi 5i,
I recently sold Fresh DelMonte Produce/FDP after a nice run up. Apart from Nutrien/NTR I have no other agricultural related stock or ETF.
Could you recommend one or two options (either stock, ETF or both) as a good replacement?
Have to say, bit of a confusing world at the moment?
Much appreciated.
Ralph

Q: I would like to do some tax loss selling and was wondering if you might be able to rank RBLX, SQ, TOY, GH, OVV, and COW in order from those with the least potential to recover over the next year, to the most potential. I appreciated your help last year on the same topic. If I were to sell them all, are there any you would consider buying back after 30 days? Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter and team,
Do you think Brookfield renewables is surging (to move away from oil) due to higher oil prices? If oil dips, would you think the stock will get hit? From the various sectors, which one do you think offers the best potential given the current situation? Would the agriculture sector be a good one with cow on tsx. Thanks very much

Q: Hello Folks:
With increasing inflation of grocery bills, do you have suggestions on how to play this situation. I am thinking an ETF representing a bundle of basic food items or individual companies providing inputs such as Agrium?
Thank you brian

Q: Hi 5i ,
I plan to increase my exposure to oil and agriculture. while doing my research, valuations and the RSIs have increased substantially. For example, stockta.com provides the following Alerts for LUN and TECK.B -"Stochastic Overbought Reversal' which I assume means that a reversal can happen any day. I assume that some holders are likely to take some profit soon. Most of what I have read says that you should wait for the RSI to come down but I also understand that the RSI can remain elevated for some time. Should I wait? or could these sectors be on a tear?
Please advise and thank you for your help
