Q: May I have your thoughts on QIMC? I know it is high risk but is it more than a lottery ticket? It appears Jeff Bezos is purchasing exploration rights surrounding QMIC’s holdings. For Bezos it is a “rounding error” so I wouldn’t read too much into it. Are their Hydrogen grades very good and assuming the Hydrogen can be successfully collected how would they get the gas to market?

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

My question isn’t about recent geopolitical events, since I need to re-balance our portfolio in accordance with the recommendations given in 5i’s Portfolio Analytics. Of the eleven TSX sectors, please give me your assessment of which sectors can be overweight and which sectors can be underweight going forward in 2026. I realize that this requires a ‘crystal ball’, but your experience over many market cycles is certainly superior to my own!

Thanks as always for your expertise. Happy New Year to all at 5i, as well as my fellow members of the 5i community.

Would you add to one/some of these (which?) or add something different. After my 2026 contribution, I will have enough cash to about a half position. I prefer to consider Canadian stocks for this account.

Thanks for you help.
