Q: Hello Folks:
We currently hold a higher position in energy producing / servicing stocks and are considering 1. adding to our current GE aerospace or 2. adding to our current tech sector of Amazon (not really tech?) and Microsoft by purchase of Navidia. We do
not currently have large portions of either GE, Microsoft or Amazon. We have owned NVDA in the past. What are your top 3 tech picks, is Amazon also a good choice and how do you see GE upside?
Thanks for your great service

Q: Nice earnings from Howmet Aerospace Inc and looks to be a great stock since COVID decline.

Can I get your updated views on this company and compare/contrast to Heico, TransDigm, GE Aerospace and 1 other NA listed competitor I am missing (BOEING)

Please rank from best to worse for a 5 year hold risk not an issue looking for largest gains based on best guess of course.

What 2 main financial metrics would you look at for these specific companies ?

It seems the standard symbol for Howmet Aerospace Inc. (HWM) is not showing and only 2 questions under the symbol with Ex-Distribution - FYI

Q: Dear 5i team.

I would like to look at a small investment in defence/war munitions sector companys or ETF. Can you suggest 3-5 names that cater to "War" efforts that can be considered a DIY ETF? As well, which ETF(s) would you consider for this exercise. Ideally one with the lowest BA %.
Finally, are these Co's trading at resonable valuations, or has this ship sailed, so to speak?

Many thanks for your help.

Q: Can you recommend any stocks that would benefit if China invaded Taiwan? I was thinking along the line of military, resources, submarine, sea technology stocks, etc. But if you know of any other ones that would be great too. Thanks.

Q: Hello Folks:

Recently we purchased a position ($210) in BA feeling it had good upside....now $165.00
Our other option at the time was GE
Did we make the wrong decision?
How do you consider upside of each of these 2 companies; would you feel we should take a BA loss to invest in GE.
In the past we have been long term investors of each of these two companies.
Perhaps neither has much up-side.
Thank you so much

Can you offer 3 or 4 of the larger companies in this area likely to benefit from this growth, provide some direction as to current valuation, level of debt, insider ownership, share buyback activity and provide a single recommendation that is your pick for best of breed in this area. Finally would you buy that pick at the current share price for a 3 year hold. Love the question and looking forward to your answer!!! Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i

With the recent quarterly release I see that HPS continues to do well.
I'm just curious as to how they compare to their competition in this space?
Are there larger or smaller companies that are doing equally as well and therefore also worth looking at?
Or is this somewhat of a moat business?

Thanks!
