Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I am currently overweight in tech (now pushing 23%). I have just retired (with a generous defined benefit pension) and am trying to adopt a more conservative approach to investing. Given this new focus:
a) What would you suggest would be an appropriate weighting for tech?
b) Could you list the above-noted holdings in order of least to most risk?
c) Could you offer your thoughts with respect to which stock - or stocks - on this list represents the best balance of value and growth?
Thank you.

Q: Good Morning 5i,

Just wondering if these two stocks are still a hold or should be replaced?
Intel seems to be having problems with its 10mm process, insider trading and competition from Nvidia and AMD. As for Cisco a report last week claiming that Amazon Web Services plans to start selling network switches to other businesses and other major networking companies could impact Cisco down the road. Should we anticipate that though times are ahead for this network giant?

Thx
Marco

Q: What is your opinion on CQP for a long term hold. I see a lot of analysts have a buy rating on it.

Q: I like credit cards. I hold Visa (6%) and Mastercard (5%) and I'm considering buying American Express but worry about too much concentration. It doesn't seem to move in tandem with the others, perhaps because of different models and being on different exchanges. What do you think? I have no banks, but do have a couple of insurance companies.
