Q: I am overweight in Tech in my TFSA account. The tech stocks I own are: CSU, DSG, KXS, QCOM, VGT. What would you sell first or would you just reduce weightings? I have done very well with CSU, DSG and QCOM but I am wondering if they have run out of steam.

My second question relates to increasing holdings in Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Communications and Health Care. Please suggest your top pick (Canadian or US) in each of the above sectors. My preference is for growth in my TFSA.

Q: Hi team,

With 22 tech stocks weighting some 34% of my portfolio, I assume you would recommend that I rationalize my approach for a better diversification, both in my tech sector and in my portfolio as a whole.

To accomplish that, while keeping a strong growth approach, could you indicate which are, in your view, 1) the « must own » stocks, in order of importance 2) those which could be dropped because of « double emploi » or high risk, 3) those missing to properly cover the tech sector ?

Please feel free to use as many credits as you see fit.

Gratefully yours,

Jacques IDS

Q: I am managing my aunts portfolio who is entering retirement. She has $300K to invest with a 5 year time horizon. I like the 2% yield of VBAL, the 60/40 split, low MER and the simplicity of this all in one ETF, but would like to add 1 or 2 additional funds for some additional torque. What would you recommend?

Q: Good day and happy Friday 5i team. Please give your opinion on TGED. It seems more weighted to large cap technology which interests me. Concern is small assets under admin. In a registered account, primarily for income and safety, a good call or are there better out there?
