Q: According to Portfolio analytics, I own about 7% of my portfolio in 3 Canadian banks and another 7% in 3 US banks. I also own another 25% of my portfolio in BAM, Visa, SLF, BRK.B and GSY which are in the "Financial" sector but are very different from each other as well as different from banks. How concerned should I be with this aspect of my portfolio. I don't need the money for 25 years.

Q: Hi 5i and team
Thanks for your sound advice during this last market correction. It made me finally understand why it's important to concentrate on limiting losses rather than going strictly for gains. I need to eliminate two Financials from portfolio. It is in a RRSP account. I do prefer a combination of income and Growth. Thanks for your help.

Q: Would you take a short term trade position on XPO with the "gambling" portion of your account? If not, do you have a better idea? I own NVDA and MU already, MU is a shorter term idea, NVDA will have to be trimmed soon due to size in my portfolio, but plan to keep a full weight for years.
