Q: Long term holder of XIT. It is my proxy for the Tech sector. While using your "total return" charting, I am noticing a recent divergence when comparing XIT to QQQ. Over many different timeframes you could lay one chart over the other and they compared very very well.

Recently the XIT showed a decline, which I believe is due to the potential impact of AI on the software subsector. Lately there appears to be a bit of a software-related recovery. Please correct me if you believe there is another explanation.

If I am correct, this leads me to consider adding a Tech ETF that is heavier into AI. I'm looking at trimming some of XIT and adding a new ETF to my relatively concentrated portfolio of 20-ish ETFs and stocks.

The "AI" ETF I am considering is CIAI. Would you agree with my thought process and the ETF that I have selected?

If so, do you have a suggestion on the relative weighting between XIT vs CIAI? Both would be held in my TFSA. I know you can't comment on individual asset allocations....I'm just looking for ballpark numbers 50-50, 60-40 or 75-25-ish.

Thanks.....Steve

Q: Does QQQ provide sufficient exposure to AI and AI build out stocks ? If not, what are some ETFs that generally cover tech stocks as well as AI and AI build out ? Are any such ETFs listed on TSX ?

Q: I've been burnt in the past by not trimming gains and having stocks crash and burn so I'm trying to diversify out of individual stocks when I get huge gains and let only a portion of it run. Can you recommend some ETFs to diversify into (CAD and USD), I'm 30s so long horizon and risk tolerance. I currently use XEQT, XSU, VIU, VFV for cad, VT, VTI for us. Let me know if there's any other good options, or if I should just stick to a specific one and why- take more credits if need
