Q: I am very concerned with the performance of Berkshire Hathaway since the announcement of Buffett's retirement—it is down 11% in the past two months, while the S&P 500 is up 12% during these two months. Thanks to BRK-B’s performance in the past few years, it is the biggest single holding in my taxable portfolio. I am considering biting the bullet, paying capital gains taxes, and replacing it with the FT Vest Laddered Buffer ETF (BUFR). Can you share your thoughts on this?

Q: Hi Team,

Now that DOGE may have had its day of influencing spending in the U.S., do you have any updated thoughts on Booz Allen? I am looking for a dividend grower with a reasonable valuation in the defence/security space. Any other suggestions for companies that haven’t ’taken off’ (pardon the pun) in the last six months in this space?

Thanks!

Q: There was an article in the Globe and Mail today by David Rosenberg about the aging population and he suggested health care related investments such as health care REITS, pharma, devices, and services. What do you think of this idea and can you give me a few recommendations in canada and the US for each of the 4 categories (health reits, pharma, devices, sefrvices)? A mix of ETFS and individual stocks would be great.

Q: I am looking to increase dividend income, while preserving capital. In a US Rif, of the two mentioned, which to own? Jepi seems more stable with a lower Mer but lower yield. Spyi higher Mer but outsized yield.
Both seem to employ complicated strategies to obtain yield; what are the downsides here.

Q: Why is FL trading above the takeover price of $24? Is there a good possibility of a higher offer coming or is it the link to the share price and direction of Dick's Sporting Goods stock? Trying to decide if it is best to take the money now.

Thank you

Q: CSU has grown too large a position in my portfolio, and I am very reluctantly (sadly even) forcing myself to sell a portion.

Along with some additional free capital, I am considering adding four new positions.

I am indifferent to industry, size or region. This is all about growth.

I am willing to hold for many years, but I want companies that are proven winners and very well-positioned to grow aggressively in the long term. Ideally, companies that are standouts in their industry.

How would you rank the above positions in terms of risk (1-10), short-term growth (1-10) and long-term growth (1-10)?

If you have additional suggestions not on my list that may be more suitable, please include them in your analysis.

Thanks for your outstanding service. I owe the bulk of my financial success to you and your team.

Subtract as many credits as needed.
