Q: i would like to increase my US holdings by adding an etf that is concentrated in the technology and consumer discretionary/staples sectors. I currently hold VUN which is my only exposure to the US market. I realize that these sectors are covered in VUN, but have very small weightings. Does this seem like a reasonable strategy?

Q: I have owned this company's shares for some time but am now questioning the rationale for keeping in my portfolio. Earnings growth appears to be slowing and below the industry average and it has one of the higher PE ratios in the investment services industry. Technically the shares have been an a steady decline since mid year. Expectations of getting a banking license may have moved the stock up but the apparent market consensus seems to indicate otherwise. The company is in your model portfolio. Why? Is it speculation that the licence will be approved because fundamentals may not be supporting the current price. As you review the companies in your model portfolio is this a keeper or one that could be replaced with another more attractive holding?
