Q: Hi 5i.
Earlier in the year, my investment group decided to follow the theme of military and defense stocks, with the Russia/Ukraine war already well underway. We came up with a few smaller specialty companies that we thought might benefit from restocking arms and ammunition, war logistics, etc. Each has had a decent run so far this year. Wondering if you could provide a quick assessment of these companies and if you have any other ideas related to this theme. Also, what are your favourite large cap names in this space and maybe an ETF?
Thanks!

Q: Elbit has pulled back but perhaps basing and I'm wondering whether this an opportunity. What are your thoughts on their prospects? I own NOC and would like to add another name in the sector - would you go with ESLT or suggest another name? Thanks

Q: What is the teams favorite in the defense armed forces area? Elbit systems( ESLT ) seems to have very positive momentum but PE is over 30;while other majors in this area are have a PE apx. 20. What is the teams opinion of ESLT compare to the other majors in this field. Also please include thoughts on LMT, GD,RTX, and the TSX traded MAL.
Much appreciated Douglas
