Q: Good afternoon 5i. I own the following stocks. Today there`s been talk about possible sector rotation of funds going from tech to financials. The Nasdaq is down 1.3% today. My portfolio stands as of right now at 22% tech and 15% financials. Would you recommend I leave my portfolio as is or should I lean more towards financials going forward?

Thx/Rob

Q: Hello

I have been holding on to Wells Fargo for the last few years and unfortunately have missed the run up with the other US banks. Its currently in my TFSA, I've been considering selling and purchasing BAC or JPM. Which one would you recommend, is there still some upside? Etrade Financial (although more online trading platform) is another option, what are your thoughts?

Thanks!

Q: I have about 35 % in the above stocks in my TFSA and they have gone up nicely. The rest of my TFSA portfolio is following loosely your income portfolio ( + ZPW, ZWE, ZWH etc). My question is whether I should lower my exposure to the financial sector above?
Do you have some suggestions as to which US companies I could buy were I to sell some of the banks. I bought the US banks for growth as the rest of the stocks on the Can. side are mostly income producers.I already own Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft and Visa in my RRSP.
Thank you for your answer.

Q: I currently own WFC but am thinking of trading it for either of V or BAC. Would you have a preference? Secondly, with earning season coming on, if one is thinking of doing some trading is it best to wait for all the dust to settle to make the trades you were going to make without regard to timing the quarterly report? Any trades I would do would be with a view to holding the stock long term.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Good morning Peter
In the next month I will receive US$50,000 which is available for investment. I would like to keep these funds in low risk but growing investments. I have considered putting half into each of BRK.B ( currently own 250 shares ) and BAC ( currently own 1,000 shares ). Another consideration is a broad based US ETF, such as VTI. I would very much appreciate your thoughts.

Q: I am concerned about my allocations to the banking sector. TD accounts for 16% of my portfolio and BAC/WFC combination 7%. All shares were purchased during the financial crisis and I have done extremely well with that move. With TD's US exposure I could pare BAC/WFC or reduce TD or continue to hold them? All shares are in RIFs. I am a conservative investor. Dividend income is good.

Thanks for your advice,
