Q: I'm a little upset with the Fact that Newmont, after such a year in gold, has decided to only increase its dividend by 1%.

I understand that they'll need the money to probably buy Barrick american asset.

What would you think of selling part of my NEM investment to buy Barrick.

Since NEM in on the US side of my porte-feuille, what would you think of replacing this investment by Royalgold?

Q: Hi 5i, I own BUG (not in your database) since about its low in 2023 . In 2025, it has underperformed ETFs like CIBR, HACK. IHAK did not do very well either.

First question: Why the discrepancies between these ETFs performance, BUG in particular? Some bad holdings?

Second question: Is it worth to have this kind of niche ETFs if we have broader ETFs like QQQ?

Third question: I could Sell BUG for a small profit, or Hold for a bit hoping a better price, or switch to a more expensive ETF (my last choice). Your pick?

Have a good weekend.

Q: So many members ask questions where they ask you to rank a number of companies which they suggest. Let me change that up a. bit. Please rank the top 10 Canadian companies that YOU think have the best chance of yielding the highest returns for 5i members In 2026. Perhaps an unfair question but I"m curious.

This was a question asked earlier which seems quite popular. Can I ask the same question for US stocks
