Q: Investors are loving Apple and neglecting Google these days. My position in Apple has doubled. It is still not overweight in the portfolio. Thinking of selling half of the Apple position to diversify into Google. Google has stalled lately and there is an expectation of a capital return program that may get the stock moving. Or just leave the Apple position alone?

Q: Hello 5i:

Our total portfolio holdings consist of 66% CDN and 26% US. No international holdings.

I am thinking of selling all or part of our CDN ETFs, XIU and XIC to increase our US allocation. We hold 82% of our CDN portfolio in 24 individual stocks, mostly covered by 5i. XIU and XIC are 7%; and the balance is held in bond and preferred ETFs.

I would like to increase our allocation in XSP and ZSP, by selling part or all of XIU and XIC. ($60K)

Not sure if our short time horizon is a factor in this change, but I am 66 and my husband will be 71 this year. He is still working but would like to retire in a year.

Your opinion would be greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to meeting you next Saturday.
