Q: Hi,
I currently don't hold any tech. With the drop last week almost sector wide would you think this is a good entry point? I'm long term (at least 3-5 years), fairly comfortable with risk. What would you recommend? Any drips available will be utilized as well.

THanks!

Q: Good morning gentlemen,

I have fairly large gains in the fang stocks as well as with Apple. With the Nasdaq taking its second consecutive beat down today, Would you be inclined to take profits. With Apple being down close to 8 percent in two days ( due to downgrades, ostensibly), in your experience. Does a stock like this rebound the following day? Also, do you think the sector shift away from tech could be an enduring trend?

All of the aforementioned positions are at 5-6 percent holdings.

What I'm getting down to is : sell today, or wait for a rebound ? I understand the former involves a degree of market timing, but surely with your many years in the industry, you must have some flair for such events.

With much appreciation,
Karim Rahim

Q: Hi Guys,

I am thinking about adding to my position in Spin Master. Stock is is dropping a little, with slightly higher volume/erratic trading. I agree with Ryan's comments on the digitization of toys, and they have some valuable brands making good traction, etc. Can you comment on the trading, the stock dropping, you outlook for a target price, etc. Thank you.

Q: My daughter has $15K she will be putting into her TFSA with another $1500 per month following (at least, could be up to $2500). She has another $11000 that currently is with a fund manager that is a mutual fund that we will not touch. She will be using this a down payment for her first home in 14-18 months. She is OK with a little aggression as she is aware of the volatility. Are there some ETF's, stocks or other that may be suitable for some growth over that short time period?

Q: I have an "overweight" position in this stock (not overly so, perhaps 8%). Thank you, it has done very well. However, though I appreciate one should not make much of one days price action, I did note quite a volume spike on todays sell off. I also have noted that not just one but a number of insiders have been selling over the last month or so. Certainly, the gains could justify some of that, but for one holding a relatively large position these indicators are troublesome. Given that my gains have been substantial, I am wondering if trimming, somewhat in accordance with the insider selling, may be appropriate.
I do note that, generally, "analysts" have been increasing target prices on this company which doesn't seem to "go to market". Makes me wonder if "something" is in the works?
Anyway, I would certainly appreciate your considered opinion on what is going on with this one and whether a trimming, rather than just letting winners run, may be appropriate here.
Thanks as always.
