Q: Hi Peter and 5iresearch team
I don't have any exposure to materials. I have XBM and LIT on my list.
1. Is now a good time to start investing in materials?
2. Would you consider other ETFs/stocks (US or CAD) that must be held as a first step investing in materials?
Thank you

Q: I understand JNJ resold the rights to purrell to gojo a while back. This company I understand is private. Is there a publicly held company that manufactures hand sanitizer. It is hard to find any anywhere and I imagine when found the price will have gone up dramatically. Maybe an investable theme?
