Q: Could I ask you to please suggest a half dozen or more equity based inflation protection ideas, perhaps mostly individual stocks and a couple of ETFs, CDN and/or US. Does CME-Q fit the bill at all?
Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i, I am thinking of buying this ETF but I don’t mind buying six companies in the materials sector to get diversification and possibly a better dividend. Can you name 6 material companies that act like proxy with dividends in mind that are ex Canada.

Q: Hi 5i, my portfolio is lite on material stocks. In Canada I do own AEM, NTR and Russel as these have a dividend. Can you suggest some Materials that trade on the NYSE that have a decent dividend. Your help is appreciated.

Q: Copper seems like it's going to be in high demand. There's also tariff possibilities. If you had a choice to invest in copper today with a 2-3 year horizon, would you do it? Any suggestions on growth companies? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and gang,

I raised this question about a week ago but it seems to have fallen through the cracks.

Please comment on FCX which hasn't been doing much of anything over the past 3 years. Is it a hold, buy or sell now? If indeed it is a "sell", please recommend a replacement in material/mining sector.

As always, much appreciated.

Q: When you have time ......... copper stocks have been soft of late and I assume this is in response to the EV sector which has been under pressure - yet my understanding is that the grid sorely needs upgrading, which I assume requires new copper lines, while some of the other participants in the electrical sector have done well which suggests a buoyant sector. So I am confused as future demand in particular appears to exceed available supply - and Dr Copper has underperformed the market. What is the outlook for copper?

Q: Hello 5i team,

For our TFSA, we hold AEM & ABX and RRSP - FCX long term over 5 years or so. We try to keep to 3 names max and keep trimming them down.

I appreciate having your thought on switching to PAAS / WPM or sell them all off and switching to energy/ energy services like OXY, BEPC, CNQ. We already have Enbridge, TC & Pembina in our portfolio for income. Thank you
