Q: Hi 5i,
In registered accounts I hold these financials: POW, BNS, CM, EQB, PRL; these tech: TXF.B, HTA and the industrial MDA. I've held them for a long time and I'm pleased with all of them.
However, given Trump may be serious about decimating the Canadian economy (witness latest threatened increase in steel and aluminum tariffs) and likely can do a lot of damage even if he doesn't completely succeed, I'm considering cashing in holdings in Canadian names and replacing with US names through purchasing CDR's (I don't have a US account and don't plan on opening one). A few of questions arise:
1. Do you think my reasoning makes sense, or would it be an over-reaction to make the move regarding all or some of my above holdings?
2. If the move is worth considering, can you suggest CDR alternatives for any of the above names you think should be replaced?
3. If I do replace any of the above CDN names with equivalent or nearly so CDR's, what can I expect regarding dividend income compared to that from the CDN holdings (all of which - except MDA - are currently yielding based high, based on long ago purchase prices)?
Please deduct as you see fit.
Thanks 5i,
Peter

Q: With the announcement today of a 24% cut in NASA's budget, including scrapping Gateway, the lunar space station, does this affect MDA enough that it is no longer a desirable stock to hold? The Canadian Space Agency had awarded MDA a $1 billion contract to build Canadarm3 for Gateway, so they have lost a major contract there.

Q: Hi 5i,
Could you provide your opinion of the likely direct and indirect impact of the promised US tariffs (or just the threat of same even if they don't ultimately come to pass) on the 1-to-2-year SP of the five noted names? I 'm not confident in my ability to discern which companies have a significant degree of immunity (although I think these 5 may).
Thanks,
Peter
