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

Q: My IT sector weighing is 8% of total portfolio and consists of three equality weighted equities, SYZ, OTC, and ENGH. Long term holdings and have been happy with overall performance, but I wonder if they are diversified enough across their business segments. I would like to keep OTC, but what other two IT sector equities would you recommend to complete the trio?

Regards,

Robert

Q: A few questions have mentionned the ETF XBB. Since its fee is 0.34% versus ZAG's fee of 0.23%, shouldn't we go for ZAG? I also like the fact that ZAG is a BMO product which means I pay fees to a canadian company rather than a U.S company (bonus points). Thank you.

Q: With the Bloomberg article yesterday on the potential bubble in Marijuana stocks in Canada (also you have warn us about these stocks), I was wondering if there was a way to profit from this. Would you suggest shorting 3 or 4 of these stocks? And if so do you have some suggestions?

Thanks
