Q: Morning 5i Team,
Just wondering if it's too late to get into silver considering how much it has gone up, but I hear some people saying that it could reach much higher.
What are your thoughts and and would this be a good basket or are some redundant. What are your top 4 picks be?

Thanks again.
Joe

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Many thanks for answering my question on Gold . Much appreciated.

This is along the same lines about Silver. I reviewed Q&A on Gold/Silver sub topic and I see that Christopher on September 03 2025 had asked this same question and . This is a follow up question to clarify simple things.

At this stage of the cycle, Gold Vs Silver ratio, would you prefer physical Silver(PSLV/SVR) or stocks?

Are the stocks that you picked for Christopher on that day, is it in the order of your preference/importance?

Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i, What are your thoughts on silver vs gold at this time? Looks like silver has lagged gold, not sure what the historical difference is. I also feel if this onshoring, electrification theme continues then silver might start to run, more than it has. Please provide a few Canadian etfs and stocks you think might participate. Lastly, gold, does it have room to continue to run as it appears a devaluation of the greenback is likely to continue. Thx.

Q: Hi 5i.
I own small position in Sprott Silver trust.
I would like to add small position(s) of some silver producers.

What are you recommendations for an ETF, which may make the most sense or perhaps 2 producers. Prefer a conservative (for retirees) choice(s).
Thank you for the great service.

Q: The current market turmoil has made me realize that a certain amount of commodities exposure as an "asset class" should help with portfolio diversification and therefore risk/return profile. Is this thinking correct? What options, if any, are available for the average retail investor to get broad commodity exposure w/o a lot of overhead which you would recommend?
