Q: I have recently raised cash in my portfolio and am wondering if you could suggest a good place to park it for some kind of return over an undetermined period of time. Are money market funds still my best bet?

Q: I don't currently have a stake in the US technology industry, and am thinking of using the recent pullback as a good entry point. What do you think of the US tech sector for a long-term hold? Could you comment on using XQQ to meet this objective and an appropriate percentage allocation? Are there any other TSX/CDN$ ETFs with large holdings in US tech that you would recommend instead?
Thank-you

Q: Not too long ago I had about a 3% position in EIF, with similar amounts in 2 accounts (cash and RRSP) and nice profits. Today, not so pretty. Do you have any explanation for the almost daily drop in price, or today when it fell off a cliff? After today I have small gains in the cash account and a loss in the RSP. A few weeks ago I sold about a third from each account (at around $36). Would you recommend selling everything, holding, or adding back the one-third sold? Has there been any insider activity or guidance and do you know what their payout percentage is?
Thank-you

Q: Regarding today's decrease in the price of CCL.B you responded to a question "CCL has done a secondary bought deal of $333 million at a discount". I must admit that I do not understand the answer, nor do I understand why this would cause a significant drop in the price of a stock. I would greatly appreciate clarification of your answer. Thank you.
