Q: In my technology sector I hold CSU, ABT,ITC, KXS, MDA and OTEX. These stocks share equal weights except for Constellation (CSU) is up more than 300% and is now taking up 30% of my 15.5% weighting in this sector. Although I do not want to sell CSU, should I be looking at rebalancing and replacing perhaps half of my CSU with another tech stock? If so, would you suggest a new one or recommend adding to one or more that I already have. Thank you for your views on this.

Q: I don't currently have a stake in the US technology industry, and am thinking of using the recent pullback as a good entry point. What do you think of the US tech sector for a long-term hold? Could you comment on using XQQ to meet this objective and an appropriate percentage allocation? Are there any other TSX/CDN$ ETFs with large holdings in US tech that you would recommend instead?
Thank-you

Q: My tech sector consists mainly of these three stocks which I knew was too heavily weighted - but I did not want to jump off the bandwagon.. Today that weighting is about 17% of my portfolio - going down. What percent weighting would you advise now? And would you advise reducing all three across the board by the same percent or treat each differently? Or maybe dump one?

Q: Hi,
I currently dont hold any tech or insurance companies. The rest of my portfolio is fairly diversified. With the recent tech pullback and also rumors of rate hikes where do you see as being a better long term investment? I like to think in terms of at least 3-5 years. All drips available will be used. Currently I have one full position worth of cash available. Am I better do you think to put it all into one or split between some? Do you see somewhere better to put the dollars to work?
Thanks
