FTS
Fortis Inc. Common Shares
stock NYSE

This is what vexes me.
For example, I thought TAN would be a no-brainer ETF to buy and hold over the next decade or two. But the current administration has chosen to penalize this sector and support fossil fuel industries instead. Never thought I’d sell it and instead buy FTS.TO - but here I am, putting my money into gas.
So what to buy next? The whole market is starting to feel like a casino at this point. I’m careful to listen to Motley Fool and Morningstar podcasts to hear their chooses, but they often don’t pan out. I ask a few of my investment advisors friends and they keep touting choices that falter or deliver near-inflation returns. I add suggestions from these forums and other sources to my lists and watch them struggle along.
I know we’re in the early days of climate change and there is a lot of dismissive talk of it among some very smart people i personally know. But I see a scenario in the next 10-15 years where seaside cottages will have to be abandoned, tourists will simply not be able to visit Europe in the summer, and planes won’t be able to land or take off in extreme heat (about 115F for most jets). So many more things to consider.
Maybe some kind of shorter term thinking and a sad but effective strategy with weight on defence, surveillance, prisons, and consumer comforts like air conditioning and emergency services are the way to play - and be ready to sell and convert cash to self-sufficiency.
* As for crypto, until there is a system to process crypto locally without the need for a network, I see the asset as very vulnerable. Even then, you need a working device and power. What do attackers do in the first stages of war today? Blow up bridges, electricity grids, and runways. Tomorrow’s wars will see aggressors take out networks, cell towers, and server farms. Good luck using your crypto.
