Q: Hi team,
I did a fast calculation and my tech weighting is at 31%, broad etf's at 29% and the crumbs that are left over in energy, consumer dis. industrial, communication and health.
From the tech sector my highest weighing is SHOP at 5.04% all the way down to PHO at 1.88%

Although CYBR.B is an etf, I lump it in the tech sector. If you had to remove one or two to lessen the weighting which stock would you sell. I really like all those stocks but I am also aware need to up the other sectors.

Thank you

Q: I am trying to consolidate my U.S. TFSA into ETF's. On the tech side I own AMZN( nice profit) NVDA ( down 38%) and SPOT (down 4%) I am thinking of selling them and buying QQQ ETF instead.
On the financial side I own JPM (down 2.7%) V (down 1%) and SQ (down 6%) Thinking of selling these and buying DGRO ETF.
Your thoughts on this? Also if there are other ETF's that you think would be better for tech and financials, please let me know. Please deduct two credits if you deem it necessary.
Thanks for your great advice,
Jen

Q: Thanks to good advice from 5i, my tech stocks have done well enough to make up close to 40% of my holdings! Within the sector, these are my waitings:
CSU - 12%, KXS - 12%, SHOP - 11%, CLS - 5%, GOOGL - 9%, SQ - 11 %, AAPL - 10 %, NVDA - 9%, AMZN - 15%, and SPOT - 6%.
Some of these are broadly spaced within the sector, and I hate to let any of them go, but I’m getting a bit nervous about vulnerability to a general tech turndown. Do you have suggestions for me?

Q: You guys hit a home run with GRUB and SPOT which had a recent downgrade but still put up big numbers. I was lucky enough to have taken your advice and bought both of them and am up 35% and 45% respectively in a short period of time. Do you think there is more room for them to run? Would you have a couple of others with a growth outlook like that? Thanks for the hot advice, Dennis

Q: I am looking to add another US growth company in my TFSA, and am thinking about GRUB and SPOT. Which of the 2 would you prefer for growth, or do you have others that you would prefer over these 2 stocks. I am already pretty heavy with tech in my TFSA.
Thanks

Q: So now it makes sense why it crashed with no "news" I mean no news for us, but the promoters of the stock, new well in advance of all the inside maneuvers and took their profits , while dumb money are .. well dump money. Pretty much all health care stocks have been a disaster: PHM, CXR, PLI, CRH. The only way to make money on this type of stocks is to be early and leave once everybody is talking about them.

The above is a question asked by a member of this site for Reliq. if the above is true, why would you recommend to members that RHT is still worth buying. Please explain. Photon keeps bouncing to $2.30 level. Do you think it is worth adding to a full position and any idea why Spotify is surging everyday. Is Spotify a potential Netflix (in terms price appreciation). Lastly with the senate vote, i would have expected a surge in cannabis stocks, but they actually fell a bit. Thanks for your input, and appreciate your ongoing advice.
