E.T.F.'s

BUY on WEAKNESS

We will see more enterprise spend and lower growth in the next few years. You want to be in companies that continue to grow earnings and generate free cash flow and buy back stock. You must distinguish between types of tech companies--those with these characters and those that don't. She will add to big tech (Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Adobe and Meta).

E.T.F.'s

HOLD

In the US tech sector, granddaddy of ETFs. Seasonal period takes a brief hiatus, and then picks up again until late January. Performing well. He was overweight tech, but has taken that back as he transitions to the new year. Rotation might take funds away from tech towards the end of January. We're still in the window, but it's getting late to issue a "buy". If you're a trader, there could be some opportunity for the next month or so.

BUY

The 10-year yield His technical analysis: the 10-year yield has moved down since its 1.77% high earlier this year then fell down to 1.2% in mid-July, but when it rallied to 1.38% the yield hit a ceiling and closed today at 1.28% which disappointed those who expected it to rise higher. The popular belief of it hitting 2% by year's end won't happen. Given the yield, tech looks good. The XLK chart shows an uptrend since Dec. 2019. Likes this sector. Buy it.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks To compare, the S&P outperforms XLK by 3%. However, if we consider the past month, the roles are reversed, with the S&P up 3.3%, but the XLK popping over 7%. XLK pays a 1.02% dividend, which isn’t bad for tech, and it charges a low 0.13% MER. XLK trades at a 32.6x PE, which falls exactly between Apple’s 29.2x and Microsoft’s 35.2x.

COMMENT

One of the broader ETFs out there, holding larger cap tech vendors. You get on the train and expect a great deal of volatility. Instead, take a look at some of the true tech hedge funds out there, which have a moral of capital preservation. Smooths out the downside of black swan events. Sees ETFs as trading, not investment, vehicles.

COMMENT

QQQ vs XLK? XLK has a large position in MSFT and AAPL, whereas the QQQ is more diversified. To broaden the exposure he might add KWEB that adds exposure into the Asian marketplace, including BABA. He thinks these holdings will continue to crush things.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

In late-2018, FB kicked off the selling in FANGs. He was happy about that--he picked up cheap stocks. XLK has done very well for him and he's long held it.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

An ETF with Microsoft as a major holding? This is the obvious choice. But he cautions over the American market in general in the next few years. Also, the American public has been looking at tech companies with suspicion. Instead of tech, he'd look at banks.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

The granddaddy of them all. It's market-cap weighted, so the top 10 holdings amount to around 40-50% of this ETF. Overall, tech is not a bad sector; there is good growth and strong balance sheets. To avoid market-cap weighting, consider RYT: the equal-weight tech index which gives you far broader diversification with the top 10 holding amounting to only 16% of this ETF.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

A tech ETF to anchor a portfolio? It's a little late to get into tech; tech has had its run. You're late to the party. KLX could anchor, dominated by Apple and Microsoft, but why not buy Apple instead?

E.T.F.'s

DON'T BUY

It tracks the tech sector in the US. We are late stages and the US market is the most expensive in the world. He would prefer something different – see Top Picks.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

A tech ETF recommendation? He likes XLK-N, which has all the big players and of course QQQ-Q and the ZQQ-T. It depends on whether you want a particular skew in Apple, Facebook, etc. The QQQ-Q provides the best diversification he thinks.

E.T.F.'s

DON'T BUY

XIT-T vs. XLK-T. XIT-T is a market cap ETF. XLK-T is very diversified. XIT-T will be much more volatile. He would choose XLK-T because of diversification. The top has been in place for a while so he would be worried about them both. He would stay away, but choose XLK-T if his arm was twisted.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

Sell XLK to buy XLC? Don’t. Rather than reduce XLK, you may want to rebalance it down. Just buy Google and Facebook, because they’re the dominant ones. Do you really want Verizon in there? ETFs are a great vehicle, but if you take the time to look at the holdings with weightings, why pay someone else to buy something you can buy yourself.
