Q: Apart from small positions in LMT and NOC, I would like to build my defense position. I am a GARP investor, not focused on yield in this sector. I note your concern about LHX at 15x EBITDA. Overall, how would you rate these stocks or others in the sector that you like for 3-5 year hold and advise buy prices. Would you consider AXON in this sub-sector or industrial good more generally.

Q: Can you provide an updated outlook on this stock. Reading your limited Q&A on the stock over the years it seems debt has always been a concern of 5i but it has always been noted as "cheap".

Reading more about the company it seems they are a "serial acquirer" of cheap companies (14) over the years this seems to have gone well for them any they buy back shares.... any updated thoughts?

Q: Hi Peter,

On January 10, you were asked a question about Loblaw Preferred Stock (L.PR.B). I really appreciated the relevance of your comments (a net benefit of being a 5i member) and bought it for the income.

Q: Hi Team 5i,
Can you please recommend a financial software that can be used to develop a retirement strategy for withdrawing funds from RRSP, TFSA, Investment accounts, etc.?
Of particular value would be a platform that details how to draw down funds and at what amount and/or percentage of one's overall portfolio on an annual basis.
Thank you.

Q: I own some of the above preferred shares which reset on April 30/23. If Artis REIT does not call the preferred they reset at 5 year GOC (currently 3.454%) plus 3.93% or about 7.38% . Alternatively, I can covert to the floating rate of 90 day t-bills (currently 4.7%) plus 3.93%. or about 8.63%. I noticed not many preferred with the option to convert to floating rate are successful as they normally require a minimum number of shares . Is there a reason? Are t-bills rates more volatile than GOC rates? Any recommendations?

Q: What is the correct symbol to trade the Mercedes ADR in the US.
I get DMLRY when I search it in my service provider. I have also seen MBGYY and MGBAF but can’t trade those apparently. Also no recent trade history comes up. Why is that, can’t believe it’s not trading?
Thanks,
Len
