Q: I recently asked a question stating that i need to increase my holdings in basic materials and the utilities sectors. You were kind enough to offer some choices. I did mention there that I wanted to avoid dividends. But that is difficult for these sectors. I didn’t mention, however, that as well as sectors I need to also bring up my U.S. and outside North America holdings a bit. And I thought this might be a good way to accomplish that. So, May I add to the question by asking for possibilities in these regions?
Thanks for this great service
