Q: I am seeking to understand why it makes sense for an individual investor to limit the number of equities to about 30, when ETFs have well over 100. Due to age I am considering switching more to ETFs.

Thanks for your great service - much appreciated!!!

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Beginning of the year, time for portfolio maintenance/tuning operations, my doubts/focus is on these 3 US titles : BIG, CTSH, CHRW.

Would like to know your call (HOLD/SELL) and brief appreciation on these. In SELL cases (if any), could you please provide US market replacement suggestion other than (already owned) : GOOG, SBUX, V, BRK-B, DG, CPRT, KMX.

My portfolio is in registered account, holding period would be 5-10 years, aiming for quality company with good mid-long term growth potential.

Feel free to deduct as many points required.
Thank you for your excellent services,
