Q: Per Gervais's question on Airbus, it's the biggest holding in EUAD @22%, and supported by many of the other fund components. It's an easy way to be involved if ok with the other companies.

Global X Defence Tech Index ETF (SHLD)
Q: John Hood recently had SHLD as a top pick. I’m interested in the global defense space given geopolitical tensions and recent NATO messaging around moving defense spending targets from 2% of GDP to 3.5-5%. He suggested the US ETF ( NYSEARCA). I see there’s a Canadian offering SHLD.TO which appears to be a new offering. The US ETF has had terrific performance over the past year. Could you please discuss the merits of this ETF and comment on whether the Canadian version should see similar performance, assuming the geopolitical landscape remains fraught.
As a second question, do you have another ETF recommendation in this space and would you prefer it over SHLD? Please explain your rationale. Thanks so much for your expertise.

Q: I bought ITA in April, and it is up nicely. I had been debating about adding to it, but then I saw questions regarding SHLD and EUAD. Since I already have some ITA, would you add one of the others, or top up ITA? Would you buy now or wait for a pullback? Thanks.

Q: Hello,
I'd like to invest a portion of Industrial allotment to European defense and aerospace. Are there any ETFs that you recommend? Preferably on TSX, but I'm ok with US markets as well.
Thanks.

Q: Rheinmetall (RNMBY:US) Looks to have a promising future now that Germany is beginning to invest more money in defence.
Would it be better to invest directly through the NYSE or through an ETF, or some other vehicle you might recommend?

Maybe I'm late joining the party but would you have suggestions on how to invest in the European military spending that is forthcoming? Any specific stocks and/or ETFs?

Q: Hello. David Rosenberg’s latest per a Globe article today:
“Best to hide in cash, bonds (Treasuries, Ginnie Mae mortgages, high-quality corporates), gold and the miners (silver too), defensive bond-proxies in the stock market that have decent yields and consistent dividend payout growth (stable dividend stocks are up +5% year-to-date), Japanese money market funds (ride the most undervalued currency on the planet and a BoJ set to raise short-term interest rates sooner rather than later), and diversify into the European Defense and Capital Goods sectors which now have more fiscal-related visibility.”
Can you provide some specific ideas (stocks and or ETFs) that match up with his recommended areas to ride this out?
Thanks!
