Q: Hello team,

I'm considering selling Apple at a large profit and deploying elsewhere.
I want to offset some gains with some losses.
Losers in order are:
DRX
SGY
BCE (small amount held in my non-reg)
Selling all is fine with me so I can balance out my Apple gains. What do you think about selling these names and what are a couple of your favourite US and CAD stock for new money?

Q: Good morning,
As the dust settles south of the border, how do you see these two (and related) stocks, as they're connected to EV and renewable energy. Worth purchasing today, or better to look elsewhere?
Thank you.

Q: Hi. My wife and I are in the process of rebalancing our portfolio. We're in our 70s and our portfolio has treated us well. Unfortunately our winners have grown to create a portfolio that is now 70% tech and 30% cash.

We'd like to bring our Nvidia and Apple holdings from just over 20% for each to around 10 or 12%.

Where would you reinvest the proceeds of the sale outside of the tech sector?
What 5 top US companies and 5 Canadian companies would be your favourites and why?

Thanks
Frank

I remember a few years ago it was supposed to be reclassified from Technology to Communication Services, but NASDAQ, which is where it is listed says it is Technology.
