Q: Hello Folks:
We are interested in purchasing Mercedes Benz (New York Stock Exchange): perhaps a 5 %% weighting.
Merc stock appears having decent upside in addition to a 7% dividend.
We are considering selling perhaps some Visa, REMX, Johnson Controls, Manual Life, or reducing some energy companies etc. to raise funds for this purpose. We could also thin down big Tech however feel these Tech stocks will have some wind in their sales.
How would you compare outlook for Mercedes Benz with industrials such as John Deere, Cat, Cummins etc. We are Merc fans, however don't wish being over enthusiastic.
Thanks again for all you contribute!!!

Q: wh

What are your thoughts on investing in this stock?

Q: I think electrolysers / electrolysis may be a growth area in the near term. 

Can you suggest some public companies or ETFs  that are in this technology or space? 

Q: Hello Folks:
Currently we own CMI and NOC however have in the past also owned DEERE and CAT.

We have owned NOC for a couple of years and it never comes close to meeting expectations; while the other three have done well.

What do you think of swapping NOC for DEERE as there is heavy demand for farm equipment this year because of high crop prices (particularly U.S.).

How would you rank these four companies and do you feel there are other better large cap U.S. company choices in this sector?

Thanks again for this wonderful service

Q: Hello Peter,

We are seeking advice on how to play the infastructure game now that Biden confirmed on Sunday that it is a stand-alone deal. We are light on Steel, Industrials, Manufacturing, Aerospace, Transportation, Materials, and 5G. We have some green energy with BEP.UN & AQN. We will reshuffle the deck by reducing Tech stocks to accommodate the shift.

Can you rank the following stocks in the categories 1st to last and add any other stocks that may be a better choice than those listed
Steel: RS, NUE, SCHN
Industrials: DD, HON (+ any other suggestions)
Aerospace: LMT, BA
Transportation: WSP, TFII, UNP, CNR, CP (+ any other suggestions)
Materials: CX (+ any other suggestions)
Manufacturing: (suggestions please)
5G: MRVL, ERIC

My last question is ask your opinion of the top 8 stocks (please rank) for the infastructure deal regardless of the sector.

Thank you for your great service.

Q: Hi 5i,

Could you rank these companies for their risk adjusted H2 potential over the next few years?

TIA!

Q: Hello Folks:
What is your opinion of these companies:
Caterpillar, cummins, cosco, walmart
I currently own caterpillar, cummins and cosco. Cummins and cosco have turned out very well. while caterpillar has struggled. Do you think industrials have much upside?
I am interested in what consumer staple businesses or others you may recommend such as cosco, walmart, touche card etc. to see us through these strange times.
Thank you very much

Q: greetings,

Looking to trim a few overweight positions including Cummins. However this one continues to do well so i am a little reluctant to move on it. It is a 6% of my US portfolio and i usually like to keep positions at 4%. Do you think its funadamentals deserve a bit more time to run?

Thanks

Q: Would Cummins be a growth stock at this stage? The stock seems to trade at a low P/E and should have potential? Your opinion is appreciated!
Thank you!

Q: Greetings:
Thanks for the recommendation on TFII - i already own this one in my cdn accounts but am looking for a comparable in the US but many are trading at significantly higher multiples. Would CMI be consider a reasonable investment to consider. It is trading at a reasonable multiple, pays a good dividend and would benefit from the transportation theme. Your thoughts??

Thanks

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: Hi Folks:
Which of Caterpillar or Cummins Diesel would you choose for a portfolio?
Thanks so much
brian

Q: I have owned CMI for a number of years and wondering if there may be better options in this sector. I previously owned CAT but gave them up a couple of years ago. I also own BA,GE & UTX in this sector.
Thanks so much
brian

Q: I have owned CMI and Boeing for a number of years; since this economy is not always in their favor, are their other large U.S. industrial companies better suited for these times, or should I continue with these.
Thanks for all you do!

Q: I would be thankful for some substantive updated comment on Cummins, CMI.us . Financial sites give mixed opinions, including for example: “no growth; low ROE ; PEG is too high.... &c” . I have CMI , 2% of folio, in non-tax registered accounts Loss in CMI has been reduced. Rsing tide thing. Is CMI now competitive in its industry? Is it a technology leader (if you know)? Is CMI at least keeping up with new tech. and developments in its core products?

CMI pays an attractive dividend, which is hot button now that the resident 2 year old has lungs that allow her to scream loud enough to wake neighborhood. CMI is part of the group meant to pay much of her future education. CMI’s trailing dividend is around 3.4 % . Notwithstanding that good dividend, my ‘Lessons Learned’ file reminds me that being enamored with high dividends can be unwise. I am the idiot who hung on to tons and tons Nortel, AGF, and Och-Ziff (OZM.us). My stupidity prompts me therefore to seek your objective opinion.

Q: I still own this stock even after your downgrade. Can you comment on their latest financials, does not look good to me. Do I continue to hold or cut my losses. Unfortunately it is in my TFSA which is why I have been holding on. I hate to loss my in this type of account.
