Q: I have a LIRA account and don’t plan to make any withdrawals for the next 15 years. I’m looking for “buy-and-hold” stock and/or ETF investment ideas that would suit this long-term timeframe.

I’m open to a mix of individual stocks and ETFs, across both Canadian and U.S. markets. Given the long horizon, I’m comfortable with experiencing periods of market volatility.

Any additional suggestions on how you would approach this situation if it were your own account would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Q: hello 5i:
President Trump is going to go ahead with the Golden Dome, whether Canada participates or not. It sounds as if most Democrats also support and would continue the program. In your estimation, which companies would participate or benefit most from this undertaking?
thanks

Q: Capital One just announced that it will acquire the fintech company Brex for $5.15 billion. My understanding is that this price is significantly lower than Brex’s valuation about a year ago.
1. Does this acquisition make COF shares more or less attractive as a buy right now?
2. How would you rate COF following this announcement and after it missed expectations in its January 23 earnings report?
3. What do you see as the key risks to the stock beyond political noise?
4. If you would rate COF a buy after all the recent updates, your rationale please?
5. How do you view COF’s business model and competitive moat relative to peers, such as American Express (AXP)?
6. What do you have for *current* (post earnings. release today) for forward P/E and PEG? Debt levesl if acquisition goes through ?

Your thoughts on COF in light of the latest news would be much appreciated, thank you. :ao: .
