Q: Over the last couple of months a lot of Canadian tech stocks have seen huge gains in a very short time.

CSU from $1,730 to $2,130
DCBO from $65 to $104;
DSG from $70 to $97;
KXS from $135 to $199;
LSPD from $85 to $131;
MAGT from $26 to $55;
NVEI from $100 to $161;
TOI from $80 to $125.

1) Do you think this is getting overdone and are we due for some kind of correction in this sector?

2) Are any of the above still good buys after these large, rapid price increases?

3) Are there any Canadian tech stocks that have "missed the party" so to speak, haven't seen large rapid price increases like those above, and are good buys currently?

Thanks.

Q: NEO-L
Duane recently had a question about Amazon being available to purchase on NEO-L. I don't understand what is involved here; can you pls describe how such CDRs work. I do not know even where / how to purchase them. Also, I am concerned with liquidity; on their website they state "CDRs will reference highly liquid global shares that trade on major exchanges around the world. Generally speaking, where the underlying shares has a high trading volume, the corresponding CDR is expected to have a high degree of liquidity.".
Will shares (units?) be easy to sell if one wants to dispose of a position? I believe these will make otherwise high priced stocks available to small investors. Can you think other advantages or disadvantages to buying? Last any other source of info you can point me to? Many thanks for your excellent service

Q: I am looking to lock in some profits and hold a little more cash at the moment. The above stocks are ones I've done well on but are feeling a bit stagnant at the moment. I still like them but looking for ones to sell that have the least FOMO. BNS is probably already a for sure as I am overweight on it a lot at the moment. I have losses from the market downturn so taxes are not a major concern. What of these would you consider selling first if raising cash? I don't worry about sector weights.

Q: I need in increase my portfolio weightings in Consumer Cyclical and Utilities. I currently hold AQN, BIP.UN and FTS in Utilities in roughly equal amounts and hold QSR and LNF for Consumer Cyclical with QSR double the holding of LNF. Should I add to my current positions to increase my weighting in both sectors or consider adding new stocks?
