Q: Pls disregard my previous question - here goes again.
I would like your advice on simplifying our IT sector holdings. My sector allocation is currently 16% and willing to go to 20%
VISA, SQ and PPYL have been placed in Financials [would have brought total allocation to 22% if included in IT].
GIB at 20% [of 16% total] is largest followed by SHOP at 12%. Next category between 5-10% are CSU, MSFT, SPOT, SSTI, TTD, ARKW, TD Science & Technology Fund, DOCU. Others at <5% [initial positions] are NVDA, KXS, NXPI, BOX, IQ, MU.
All are up except for MU. Pls advise which to discard, which to add to and any others that could provide growth on your "favorites" list.
Much appreciated
Sam

Q: VMD is up 300% since March while of RHT drop more than 50%. They were supposed to be in the same space and RHT was supposed to be the better company. It makes lower lows every week with no end in sight. Is there any other option that will provide growth in a TFSA account.?

Q: Am i right in thinking that if i don't tender my ECI (Enercare) shares capital gains on all the shares will be triggered?

TD direct investment got my notification to me by mail today after the deadline for tendering and I then spent over an hour waiting to get through to them by phone. A broker I was finally connected to is putting a best effort offer, but cheerfully noted that the worst case scenario is the units would be sold for $29! Not happy with TD direct investing!

Q: Good Morning,
I see this morning that RNX announced over the weekend that they have found more gold at their Beta Hunt mine. I'm about break even on this after holding for a few years , any thoughts on this? Perhaps hold and let it run for a bit? I heard Eric Sprott over the weekend discussed it on his Podcast and seems to have even further interest in RNX.
Thank-you

Q: I would like to increase my global exposure and was looking at Cymbria, or would Edgepoint Global be a better investment? From your last answers on Cymbria, you stated it was trading at a high premium. What would be a good entry point to buy Cymbria? I notice it has come down a little bit since then. What about the management fee for these products, are they reasonable?
Thank you for all the advice I have received over the years!
