Q: Hello 5i,
I currently need to add a U.S. Industrial in a RRIF, so yield is very important - as is overall safety. I need to increase Industrials by about 3.0 % and increase my U.S. holdings by 4.5 % so an equity suitable for a larger weighting would be ideal. My other industrials are EIF and SIS.
I have been looking at Raytheon, Ryder, Lockheed Martin and A.O. Smith but was wondering if you have any other suggestions and how you would rank these for safety? If there is a name with a yield in excess of, say, 4.0% that you would be comfortable recommending, that would be ideal.
As always, many thanks for all of you invaluable assistance - it is always very much appreciated!!!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Do you have a few suggestions for long term holds in US industrials? My only non-Canadian holding in this sector is TT - would you consider this to be still worthy of holding?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: This stock has been a tough ride for me. Bought it for income and some growth as my only exposure to the defense sector. The dividend cut and share price decline leaves me thinking its time to sell and move into another defense stock with higher growth opportunity. Would you agree, and if so, any recommendations with similar dividend, or one that at least has a dividend (held in RSP).

Thank you.
