Q: Hi 5i: I've been holding Amazon for a while and have done quite well, but I'm getting nervous. I am thinking of selling and switching into Microsoft. This way I still have some "cloud" exposure and lower risk. What do you think of this move?

Q: Hi 5i,

In rebalancing my portfolio, I find that I am sadly lacking in tech stocks. At present, I have: CSU 4%, KXS 1.5%, Shop 0.4%. Could you suggest options to bring the total up to about 15% and designating whether they would be better suited for an RRIF or TFSA account? As a senior, I should be more conservative but, at the same time, I can stand some risk.

With thanks.

But the next version of iphones are much anticipated..I get this insight from my teenage children.cheers Shyam

Q: I've noted in the Q&A section you continue to support both CSU AND CGNX. I already own CSU and note that with all the 'noise' these days it seems to go about its business and is much more stable than some of the other tech. companies. Would you consider CGNX to be the same kind of company and do you think it would be a top American company to complement CSU? Are there 1 or 2 other tech. companies (Canadian or American) you could recommend that you favour that would help me to gain good diversification to the technology sector. As further guidance, I appreciated Mike's caution about the importance of being patient, but I must admit, I personally find it easier to maintain my patience when I'm invested in less volatile companies. As always, I appreciate your guidance.

Q: There are currently no obvious cyber security etfs listed in Canada. Do you have a short list of Canadian-listed cyber security stocks that I can make up my own pseudo-etf. As a long-time subscriber, thank you for your service.
