Q: Hi 5i Team,
My question is about how to invest in commodities as a buy and hold retail investor. I read in Tony Robbin's book about Ray Dalio's all weather portfolio that it allocates 7.5% to commodities and 7.5% to precious metals. These two asset classes are supposed to protect a portfolio from accelerated inflation. Is this statement accurate?

Thanks for your great service.
Regards,
Danny

Q: Recently I have sold my position in QCOM and now my equity portfolio has only about a 5% exposure to Technology. The main holding being XLK.
From your growth portfolio, I was considering a small position in PHO. The stock seems to be in decline. Is now a good entry point or should I wait for things to settle?
What Tech stocks or ETFs would you suggest?

Q: Following up on Marios' question from Sep 19 which was:

"PHO is selling pretty hard on higher volume today and on a down trajectory since august. Lost 23 %.
What gives?",
I have the same question except a day later on Sep 20 it still gets pummeled but at yet much higher volume at 1.3 million volume vs a 50-day avg volume of 0.255 million. That stock has really taken a dive on "no news". Given no news, could you please educate me on possible explanations for this price movement with such relative hefty volume? Anything possibly nefarious here? Or is this just normal territory for a $2 stock (even though it's a "good" company). Thank you. I really appreciate your insights.
