Q: Your PA has recommended reducing my Tech holdings and increasing my US and International allocation. I would like to reduce Tech by about 1/3 and use those proceeds for purchasing VUN and XEF. VUN appears to have about a 20% tech component, so I would need to reduce more than the 1/3 of my current holdings to offset that VUN tech portion. Your recommendations on which equities I should trim/eliminate would be very helpful in trying to sort this out !! Many thanks, as always.

Current Tech % holdings in RSP/TFSA/ UnReg accounts are approx:
ENGH 2.5%
KXS 3.5 %
OTEX 3..5 %
SHOP 3.5%
SYZ 3.8%
PHO 1.3%
and in RIFs - for yield:
AB 3%
ET 1.8%

Q: Hi,

I heard somewhere about an EFT that reflected the S&P 500 Internet technology Index, but I can't seem to find it. Do you know of an EFT like this? Maybe it would be similar to the Nasdaq 100? Not sure...

Thanks,

John

Q: Peter and Team:
I have done very well on SHOP (500%) and it now consists of almost 10% of my portfolio. I do not want to sell a winner, but was wondering if I should trim bit, put a stop loss order on it or ride the wave?
What are your concerns with "stops" in general.

Thanks
Phil
