Q: I hold all these tech stocks as part of a well diversified portfolio with weightings below. Tech stocks are 25% weight in my overall portfolio. The issue I'm having is determining how many to hold in this sector and what weight to allocate each. All new names that I see on my potential watchlist with high growth seem to be all tech names as well (CRWV, CRCL, SRAD, GENI, RDDT, etc..) but I'm hesitant adding more tech if my holdings are already high quality unless one of them is dragging its feet. I'm trying to balance between holding long term compounders like CSU, LMN, TOI vs high growth shorter term names like NBIS, VRT, CLS that are benefitting from AI tailwinds which could turn quicker. Do I hold 5 companies at 5% or 10 companies at a mix between 2%-5%.

Do you see any overlap here in names that could be combined? If you had to rank these names based on growth and risk/reward, what would they be currently for the next 5-10 years? What is the high level process you go through when trying to determine between candidates for a sector? Thank you!

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I have held this stock for several years and am up. It appears to be range bound and I am not sure if it has any more room to run. I am thinking that I should take the profit and be happy. I think there debt may be high and they are dependent on the overal economy. What do you think...any up side in sight? Thanks for your excellent service!

Q: I hold the Franklin Quotential Diversified Income Portfolio Series F (TML3253) mutual fund in my RRSP. It accounts for about 10% of my entire portfolio. I pretty much ignore it, mostly because I find bonds hard to understand. Do you think retirees need bonds in their portfolio if they hold a lot of dividend stocks and funds like FIE and EIT, plus keep a years worth of cash to live on outside of the market? If yes, would you continue to hold this fund or move into a bond ETF? And what ETF would you suggest? And if no bonds, what would you suggest moving the fund into? Thank you.

Q: David Picton is claiming the traditional 80/20 or 60/40 portfolio is history and investors should be thinking about having a 40, 30, 30 portfolio with liquid alternatives (alpha driven strategies). They suggest something that does not move in sync with bonds or stocks. What is your opinion on this and if you support this strategy what alternative investments would you suggest a novice in this area look into? Anything at Picton Mahoney? Thank you!
