Listen "Is there still room to play offence with defence stocks?"
Episode Synopsis
With the ongoing war in Ukraine, continuing conflict in the Middle East, and a reshaping of the global framework underway since Donald Trump came to office, defence stocks have been hot property in the world of investing.
