Q: Hi,
Is there an ETF that holds only a higher concentration of the FAANG stocks? I looked at the FNG but it does not seem to hold FB (could only find top 10 holdings). I’d like exposure to these growth names and maybe now good time to start a position with the declines in Netflix, and FB.
Thanks,
K.

Q: I would appreciate any comments on earnings. I read it as a small miss. Management obviously has some confidence in that they increased the dividend. Would you still hold as a core industrial in a US growth portfolio? My other US industrial is UTX.

Q: On the US side of my portfolio I am going to be cautious about what I add. I will get an opinion from you before making a purchase. My last recent purchase which I watched for quite some time (Netflix), made the purchase, and 2 days later it was down $75.00 per share and it does not seem to be making a recovery. I am thinking of selling Netflix and along with some US cash I have, and I will list some US stocks that look good to me. APO, NOW, ISRG, OKTA, BIIB and SFTBY. Out of these, which ones would you purchase? Thanks again, Dennis
