Q: I very recently picked up a small starting position in SMCI at $235. Am waiting before adding anything further. I don't normally base decisions on technicals but would like your thoughts on what price level you think would be reasonable. It did gap up in May around $160. In your experience, would you expect the price to come down to fill this ? Any other comments would be appreciated.

Q: Hi team, I am a retired, income with a bit of growth investor. I have 22 holdings in my portfolio. My general rule of thumb is that a single holding should not be over 5% and a sector no more than 20%. When it comes to ETF's my % are a bit higher. My question is, with the above ETF's in mind could you please tell me what the maximum % you would feel comfortable with holding in a portfolio. eg- I have ZWA at 10%, ZWE 9%, ZWU 9%, with cash at 15.5%. Thanks for your expertise, Bill
