Q: What option would you suggest to pursue to gain additional exposure to technology within a portfolio? I currently only own QQQ in USD registered account.

1) just add more to QQQ at the current exchange rate
2) diversify and add XIT
3) diversify and add both XIT and CSU at 50/50 (understanding XIT owns approximately 23% of CSU already)
4) none of the above, try an alternative (e.g. QQQM)

Q: Can you describe the growth potential of TER and whether you feel current prices are sustainable or I should wait for a pull back?

For other robotics and automation stocks and broader ETFs what would your suggestions be ? I am currently in ROBO how does it compare to the others?

Lastly, do you feel robotics and automation is one use case of AI where there is a strong business model right now? I can’t see why this sector will not increase exponentially

Q: I have a fairly large chunk of US cash invested in a 'High-Interest Savings Account' which earns 3.15% interest. The interest has not kept up with the loss in value of the US dollar. Can you suggest a similar kind of investment based on Euros or Swiss Francs which can be purchased through TD Direct? Or do you have a better low-risk idea for this money? (I am pessimistic about both the USD and CAD keeping their value against other currencies.)

Q: In response to a question from Pat, you suggested a 10% to 12% weighting in the oil/gas sector instead of the 16.44% in the TSX. If I didn't want to buy individual companies for oil/gas, what ETF/ETFs would you suggest to make up the 10% to 12%? If more than one ETF, what percentage would you have in each?

Q: Given that the market is broadening out and that I would like my portfolio to follow suit, I am thinking of switching half of my money in XUU, a market-cap weighted fund which makes up about 10% of my portfolio, to EQL, an S&P equal-weighted fund.

What would your opinion be on that?

Also, along the same line of thought, I'm considering trimming NVDIA and GOOG although the mere mention of it has my investing friends screaming "NO!". They understand the sentiment but think it's not the right time.
