Q: Hi 5i
Of these 6 companies what would be your order of preference in buying today?
If you could give some of your reasoning it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Q: Hi Super Team!

Apologies for one of those “apples to oranges”kind of questions but I have some cash to deploy and am deciding between SE and ELVA.

I realize they are very different but if I’m looking for projected growth, reasonable valuation and some strong fundamentals which would you pick today?

This is for a 3-5 year hold and is a 3% allocation in terms of my total portfolio.

As always, thank you so much for all you do.

Q: Comments please on URI quarter. This is the second time the stock has taken a big hit after earnings. I have held this for years but back to back misses and big stock declines have me wondering if something has changed.
Thanks for your great service.

Q: Why the dig drop in SHOP today. Down 7% to 10% as of early afternoon. It's performed poorly for a while. Any news that I'm missing? What do you (5i) expect next earnings which I believe is February 11.

Q: What are your thoughts on Nebius and would you be a buyer of a full position at todays price?
Thank you

Q: I’m 75. My precious metals position is 20%. I have own SWM for many years ( cost is about 9.00. I have about 10 % fixed income. I am comfortable holding but at my age maybe trim? What would be a limit for the metals. It seems, it is still under owned. Maybe. I don’t hear or see it.

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.

Q: Hi 5i,
Thanks for the great work. I'm a long-time FNV shareholder and WPM is continuing to outperform. How do you view the two companies today? Would you follow momentum and switch from FNV into WPM?

Thank you!

Q: A portion of my portfolio is invested in gold, and I have enjoyed the ride that more than tripled the price of gold since February 2024, when the European Commission officially approved regulations allowing the use of proceeds from frozen Russian assets to arm Ukraine and stated that these assets would remain frozen until Russia repays damages to Ukraine after the war.

Even though I am pessimistic that Trump’s efforts will bring an end to this war - there is too much financial interest in the U.S. and Europe to continue it for as long as possible - there is still a chance he will succeed, and I expect that the price of gold may come down significantly following peace.

As PHYS doesn’t have options, is buying GLD puts the best way to hedge gold prices? Any other suggestions?
