Question asked 09/05/2026

ETFs

Hi James, Thanks for all your updates and analysis. I would value your opinion on the QUAL ETF. Also, you mentioned RBTZ last Friday as being "cautiously bullish", but preferred SEMI and AINF for AI exposure. I hold RBTZ and have done quite well - if you were me, would you be switching out of this into either SEMI or AINF, and if so, which one?

Ask James

Question asked 09/05/2026

Vault Minerals Ltd (ASX:VAU) and Regis Resources (ASX: RRL)

From the perspective of a Vault shareholder, how would you view the proposed merger with Regis? Is it likely to be net positive in the long run and/or will it raise any short term issues/share price pressure leading up to the merger?
