Q: Hi. My portfolio has no US ETFs. I have some individual US technology, financial and industrial stocks. (total 10% weight). Now, I'm planning to sell some of my Canadian stocks and to increase US stocks to 25 to 30% weight.

I'm in the process of adding more US stocks into my well diversified portfolio. My questions are 1) Do I need to buy into every US sector? If not, what US sectors should I concentrate into buying and what other US sector should I ignore? For instance, I assume I don't need US energy and US material stocks. 2) In my US portfolio, I have GOOG, ADBE, VISA, AIG, CGNX. What others US stocks should I also add?

I'm still unsure how to incorporate US individual stocks into a portfolio. Please give guidance... Have a great day.. Thank you in advance.

Q: Mastec reported a record quarter with eps of .99 against an estimate of 0.62 and increased its guidance as well. The stock spiked 7% but is now in a downward drift trading below the pre release prices. Could you direct me to any information or news that would help explain this downward pressure? Also, do you have an opinion on this company? Would you buy at these levels?
Thank you.

Q: I heard on BNN, where Americans aren't buying Canadian Oil & Gas stocks. Viper put out a statement where there production is up 23% over first quarter & 95% yoy. Average price $73.64 down 10% Quarter one, but because of increased production, their cash flow is up & increased dividend 10%. Stock price has basically traded sideways over this years spanned & didn't have any momentum on the announcement. Undoubtedly I am missing something again. Appreciate your comment on Viper. Thanks
