Q: I'm thinking of choosing a managed mutual fund for my exposure to the precious metals sector due to all the risks associated with this sector.
What mutual fund would be your favorite for this volatile sector. It seems reasonable to me to pay an MER for a really good manager, when returns can very a much as 40% some years.
Thanks Gord

Q: LSPD punished on Monday. A China based virus seems an unlikely catalyst for the 7 % decline on a day when not much moved so significantly. Simple profit taking after the run up or has something changed? Is it a stronger buy on Tuesday than it was Friday or do you monitor now for lost momentum?

Q: Hi
I want to reduce tech in my RRSP.
Did very good with XQQ thinking of changing to EQL
Why:
EQL only 13% tech Vs. XQQ 57%
EQL 11 sectors Vs XQQ 8 sectors
EQL higher dividend

Does this make sense?

If any other suggestions please feel free.

Thank You

Mike
