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
