Q: Hi,
I am thinking that the recent drop may present an opportunity to enter into the US Aerospace & Defense sector at a bit of a discount. Is it better to use ETFs, or choose one or two top rated stocks? I don't know how you compare the costs of ETFs and could use a primer on what to look for / what to avoid when considering them, as I mostly use stocks or debentures.
As always, we appreciate you're thoughts and insight.

Q: Hi,

I've been watching this stock for quite some time and recent earnings seem to be well received, with other followers seeing significant upside. I know it's a US company, but your quick opinion (management performance, upside potential and timeframe) would be appreciated along with why their product seems so good?

Q: Is Broadcom still a Singaporean company today? There has been reports in the news media around November 2017 that Trump announced "he" is moving it back to the USA. I hold a significant position in my RRIF. If it is a USA company today, I will have to pay U.S. estate taxes if I die. I will need to sell my position before that happens. Can you look into it's current home country? Is there a reliable website I can go and check the home country of Broadcom from time to time? Thanks.

Q: In your response to a previous question, I looked at ANET and am certainly impressed with it...I have a scoring process I use to assess stocks and it scored in the top three along with Kinaxis and Facebook.

However, it also has a short life as a public stock and has not been through a downturn. I'm less concerned about what the stock price would do through a serious downturn and more interested in management's ability to manage through it and for their product to remain in demand.

What are your thoughts on management and product "stickiness"/uniqueness? Who, on their board has lots of experience and respect?

Thx,

Cam

Q: Looking at TAP. Since your last comment, valuation improved. But looking at long term chart, BUD shows better stock price return and higher current yield.
Which would you choose now, and how strong would be the case to buy that kind of stock in your portfolio in this valuation reset of the markets?
Thanks for your help

Q: Hello,

One of largest positions are Alibaba along with Berkshire about 6% each. With Ant financial planning an IPO..does it make sense for me sell some BABa and invest in ANt.

Black rock along with being one of the largest investement companies is now trying to do something in the model of Berkshire. Would this be a good time to start a position on BLK.

Thanks very much for your guidance.

Q: I own both of the above and am still above water, but they are not holding up well in this current environment, so should I hold or move out.. If so do you think intc is worth pursuing or some other stock perhaps would be better going forward.
Another question HD is another stock similar position, what do you think buy,sell or hold. If buy what would you replace it with. Thanks.
