Investment Q&A

Q: I am in my 80's and am changing my investment philosophy.
Can you suggest 6-8 stocks US or Can that would be in a solid l-o-n-g term growth and income portfolio. I would particularly like stocks that have recently been a little soft.
Thanks

Q: does MDA. face huge future capital expenditures.? what percent of revenues come from government contracts? who are MDA,s main competitors? is there any company specific reason for the shares to have dropped from their high? thanks Richard

Q: There seems to be a lot of sabre rattling (more global/political than hockey at the moment), so I would like your thoughts on growth at the four companies mentioned i.e., RTX, LMT, NOC, LDOS?
BTW,I don’t know how long I have been a member (I think membership lapsed once for a few days) but it must be at least 10 years (is that possible?). The service you offer is unmatched and it gives DIYers like me the ability to act with confidence.
Also, I keep finding new things on your web site. Hats off your IT staff as well!.

Q: Can you please comment on LMT's earnings? Buy, sell or hold? Would you recommend LMT or RTX for a long term hold?
Thanks.

Q: Do you have a preference between RTX and LMT?

Q: Hi guys, thanks for the excellent service. Generally TFSA is the place for high growth but my highest growth has been in my RRSP. Is there any compelling reason I should sell anything in RRSP and rebuy in TFSA (e.g., NVDA)? I realize I will be taxed on RRSP withdrawals while TFSA withdrawals are tax-free - but - my RRSP has a lot more cash than my TFSA so there isn't room to move all my growthy stuff over. Because of the relative size of RRSP to TFSA, if I were to do equal weighting of all stocks, I'd only have 4 different stocks in my TFSA, which perhaps is fine? Are there any obvious adjustments that you would make to the following:

RRSP:
XQQ 13.68%
VXC 12.03%
NVDA 7.64%
AAPL 6.70%
JPM 4.73%
BNS 4.52%
GOOG 4.32%
ENB 4.13%
MSFT 3.98%
AMZN 3.86%
RTX 3.51%
COST 3.42%
PG 3.11%
DIS 2.82%
CASH 1.32%

TFSA:
GSY 5.28%
CRWD 3.31%
VEEV 2.50%
ROKU 2.44%
SHOP 2.26%
WELL 0.85%
XBC 1.08%

RESP:
LSPD 0.79%
BYD 0.76%

NON-REG:
SLF 0.51%
T 0.42%

thanks,

Q: With escalating tensions between the nuclear superpowers (Taiwan, Ukraine, Uyghurs, etc.) what would be the current best defense stock to take advantage of an eventual change in investor sentiment?

Q: Hi team,

I'm interested in adding two defense companies to my holdings, for a 3-5 year period (perhaps longer) and I'm interested to know which companies you would recommend considering?
The companies that I'm looking at right now include LMT, NOC, RTX, GM, BA, HON. Are there other companies I should also be looking at?
Could you please rank the listed companies in order of preference?

Thank you for all that you do!

Q: Hello Folks:
For a number of years I was a satisfied Boeing shareholder, but switched to NOC and RTX when Boeing's problems surfaced (taking a $100.00 hit), subsequently investing in NOC and RTX.
As of today, how would you view and compare these companies potential; I do regret not re-purchasing BA when it was down as it is a strong contender in the industry, however do have companies such as GE in my rear view mirror.

Thanks so much for your good service
