Investment Q&A

Q: Would you consider any of these stocks a buy?

Q: Good Morning Team 5i & Everyone,

I’m looking through the holdings for REMX:US. Of the etf’s current holdings, these are the ones listed on the US market:

LAC
MP
ALB
SQM
IPX
LAR
SGML
TROX

Fundamentally, do any look good enough that you would consider holding them directly?

I’ve been watching NEO:CA and I realize that the sector has a bit of excitement in it at the moment, and if that changes they would likely take a hit.

In general I’m holding some REMX and will likely wait for an opportunity to add. The thesis ultimately is that when A.I. reaches the point where robots start getting built years from now, in theory that will require rare earth and strategic metals and minerals. But, we shall see.

Thank you,

Sandra

Q: UCU has had a strong run. With its critical mineral focus, apparently unique RapidSX technology, its build out in Louisiana, and funding support from the US Army, how does it look to 5i's for future stock appreciation? Fundamentals? Would 5i's consider it a worthy investment or is the stock more likely to crash after its 1000%+ climb this past year?

Many thanks.

Q: Hello 5i,

Can you please select your top choices from the list below

USAR or MP or any other recommended rare earth company or ETF

WAR or SHLD

CVLT or PANW or CRWD

IS CRS the best stock for specialty metals. Does CRS fit in with the Rare Earth mining?

Thank you for your insight

Q: What rare earth stocks would you invest in…US and Canadian. Thank you.

Q: Hello,
I am thinking of investing in the rare earths segment. If i had to invest, would you suggest half and half or is Neo better than MP? Also, do you think i have missed the boat on investing in this area ? With regards to quantum computing, is IONQ considered one of the better companies to invest in? My concern is NVDA could get into this space as well. Thanks very much

Q: Good morning,

May I have your top “2 to 4” stocks (Canadian or American) for each please? (If such exist.)

- Iron ore
- Aluminum
- Platinum
- Palladium
- Rare earth

Thank you very much.

Q: I understand this is a us rare earth company , would you consider this a strong solution to the chinese dominance in this area ? Please advise your view and any other suggestions for this sector.
Cheers Doug

Q: Is it too late to join the party or is it just getting started? I am encouraged by the fact that MP owns the only vertically integrated rare-earth mining and processing site in the US, has the backing of the US gov't and seems to therefore have a monopoly outside of China. But I have no idea whether it's too expensive now. Thanks,

Jason

Q: Do do you think any of the MAGA BOYS got the inside of this trade.
thanks again

Q: Can you recommend stocks which might take advantage of large battery technology such as for utilities and renewable energy?

Does anyone have moat like advantages within this area?

Or, is there a more subtle play here?

Thanks

Q: Could you provide update on MP. Would you buy it?

Thanks,
Milan

Q: Do you like these companies in this environment and all things being equal which of these would you purchase today for growth?
thank you

Q: I sold some NEO and am considering a re-buy. I like the direction NEO is taking. If the new USA administration, and the west nations as a whole, want to have economies not dependent on China then rare earth minerals should be on their radar since they are critical and currently almost all rare earths come from China. NEO is one of the few western companies, at least that I know of, that will have production of rare earths and related products that are/will be produced in the west (Estonia). I am considering a rebuy in the $7.50 range? What is your overall opinion of NEO and the rare earths in general? What other publicly traded, western, rare earth companies are there to consider?

Q: Could you please provide update on MP Materials. What is their balance sheet? Would you buy it?

Thanks,
Milan

Q: It seems to me that one one of the major themes going forward that we as investors must pay attention to is on-shoring or the re-industrialization of the United States and the western world. Please share with me some of the global and Canadian companies that should benefit if this trend continues. I'm interested in both individual companies and ETFs.

Q: Read your March 26 notes to Ed and HOLD valuation but wondered if the 58+m award might be significant in the interim pending 2025 recovery?

Q: May I please have your current outlook for MP Materials?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: Hello 5i advisors, these are the 5 US stocks causing me pain this year; i feel that all are basically good companies with room to run; (DEA, of course a Reit), I know that SHLS has received an inadequate supply and that they are litigating about that, and that they swung to a loss on last earnings; I don't know how large that issue is in terms of their revenues, profits, liability. Please rate these as buys, holds, sells from here and, for the holds, how much patience may be needed and how much upside you see. thanks

Q: Looking to take tax losses and not sure which to pick ? Some of them I can sell and not rebuy ? Please rate them as sell, hold, sell and rebuy. Thanks guys.
