Q: Hi,
I'm looking at XAW for US and International exposure in my TFSA account. Retired income investor for 8 to 10 year hold. Can I get your opinion on this ETF or if you can recommend some other names.
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,

You have mentioned that "Anything 'growthy' and on the smaller side has been unloved for the last one to two months." So the Hi Tech stock seem to be the worst sector now. Do you think the tech sector is over? How many months or years will the tech stocks come back by your experiences. I have no income, but can still survive for 2 years.

Q: Hello Folks:
It appears technology stocks are moving opposite direction to industrials such as Deere, Caterpillar, Cummins etc. which have been very quiet for a number of years.
Is this a normal situation?

Does this mean there is more confidence in this sector and less in technology; or is it because technology has been the go to in times of uncertainty; although I would think these Covid times would have produced more uncertainty with the opposite effect.

Do you feel this trend will continue empowering industrials at the expense of technology such as Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google etc.

My specific question is re: Veeva (on a steady downturn) and how you view it's long term prospects.

Thanks for your good work

Q: Thank you very much for the warning you offered in the previous question I asked about MOAT. The way I worded it, it may have sounded like I was ready to sell VOO and buy MOAT. But, that is not very likely. But, as you suggested, it may be worthwhile to buy some of this along with the other etfs. You called MOAT an innovative etf . When I look at it, though, its charistics seem to be that it is a wide moat fund. When I look at the companies held I am not sure that they seem innovative. Just that they invest in research and development. I am a little confused by what they mean by innovative. I suppose it just means more aware of a changing environment that other companies. Would that be right? How would you characterise this fund?
thanks

Q: I have updated my tracking analysis and it tells me have have far too many stocks. 50 plus......Many, it details are 1 to 2%. So it will take quite a move in any to move the dial.
I have most from all your portfolios. It is a large dollar investment.

Should I pair these down? How many stocks, if diversified, (long term hold), should I aim for?

Q: Its astonishing how similar the charts look alike for FTS, EMA and CU. They have had a good move. The charts on AQN and NPI look very similar to each other as well, however moving sideways. Why do you think AQN and NPI seem to be lagging FTS, EMA and CU? Best, Don
