Q: Hi team,
A question on Boeing. A tragic place crash on the weekend. It was the 2nd one in six months involving the Boeing 737 Max 8, a newer version of the workhorse 737 and for which Boeing has a huge backlog. A number of airlines are grounding those planes today. BA is bouncing around a lot. I have not followed it that closely in the past, so not sure how things typically play out. Before today, a lot of analysts had high price targets. I am not minimizing the tragic loss of lives, but is this a good opportunity to initiate a position, or could a lot of cancelled orders follow?
Thanks again.
Dave

Q: I have been watching BA, UNH, V and MSFT for well over a year, they have all been growing their stock price at an impressive rate for over 5 years or more, and now wonder whether they have finally come down to a point where one could look to buy them with a margin of safety?

Q: Thanks for the News Update. and it mentions adding Industrials. For that last few weeks, I'm pondering adding industrial positions to my balanced, diversified US portfolio. I assigned a 15% weighting to the US industrial sector. My current positions are UTX at 4.6% weighting and FDX at 2.6% These two total 7.2% and as a result, I could add 7.8%. Please provide a few US names in this sector for my consideration, including adding to bring FDX to 4%........Appreciate you insights....Tom

Q: I am interested in buying Cummins for a long term (5-10 year) hold, or a comparable industrial in USF. Honeywell is my only other USF industrial. Could you please give me your opinion on purchasing it on the fall, or recommend other industrials, with a at least a small dividend.
Your advise is always appreciated!

Q: I currently hold these 3 in a us tfsa among a few others, and im looking to add to one of the 3 listed. BA recently announced 20% dividend increase and 18b buyback program, which seems very positive. NVDA also seem like a good time to add with recent pull back to sub 200s with no fundamental change. Then V is just doing what its been doing for years and years with slow and steady climb. Which would you preferred to add to and why?

CRA has announced $5500 contribution limit for 2018, when does it take effect? Is it immediate on jan. 1?
