Q: What are the pros and cons of this ETF as a silver play? It seems to be lagging both physical silver and silver miners. If that assessment is correct is there a reason for that? It obviously offers expertise in the space; does that translate into more downside protection?
Thank you, Hugh

Q: Good morning Peter et al.

This is a follow up question to Sheldon's excellent question on Metals and Material sector today.

I know you answer questions based on the way we, the subscribers, phrase them.

Is there a Canadian equivalent to XME which is what you chose to highlight for Sheldon?

I am looking for an ETF that has metals WITHOUT Gold and Silver. (I have good positions in them already) I also prefer a CAD denominated ETF rather than in USD.
Many thanks.

Q: Happy Friday.
AGX is on a positive run today. I went looking for some news but can't find anything at all. Can you add any insite to this tale?

I also ran across a Cdn fin-tech stock WERX that is new to me. Do you have it on your small cap radar. I couldn't find any financials or analyst following it.
Thanks. P. S. The AI report is fabulous.

Q: Good evening,


1) I feel that the materials sector will do well in 2026, do you agree?

2) If yes, which of the above etf's do you think would do the best given market conditions, their holdings, etc?

Do you have any individual stocks you would recommend in the materials sector that you think would outperform the etf's?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Q: Dear Peter et al:

"Rumblings" by YouTubers suggest that Silver's top is fast approaching. 100$ seems to be "magical" figure. Some are suggesting to "lighten" up. I have the above mentioned favorites of yours. (Didn't get CDE/HL) I have done well with ALL of your Gold/Silver choices.
The question is if one should stay put or "lighten" up as others seem to say. I am an investor and NOT a trader.

P.S. Reading your answers I get the impression that you seem to think that there is some ways to go up in commodities. Hope I am not wrong in my interpretation.
