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.

Technology this year has outperformed everything. He thinks that Technology is facing headwinds going forward in the way of more regulation as they are seen as monopolistic giants abusing their power. He thinks this ETF is going to do OK but there is more value in other sectors. The GICS classification is changing a little and telecommunications is moving to the communications sector, so this ETF will be affected. High liquid, low cost highly efficient way to get exposure to the sector.

Technology is a growth sector, which mitigates the seasonal fluctuations. Above average growth this year. Seasonal strength between October and end of year. Tech will benefit from cyclicality and push higher to end of the year.

(A Top Pick March 30/17, Up 29%) You must be in the U.S. and in tech. She'll stay with it. Likes companies that offer dividend growth.

QQQ-Q vs XLK-N QQQ is NASDAQ, XLK is technology. You’re going to find a lot of overlap. One thing with QQQ is BMO has the Canadian Dollar edged version, the ZQQ-T. Take a look at the website of the ETFs companies and see what weightings are and pick the one you want. Both are excellent. QQQ has some Bio stocks and a whole bunch of other stuff. For a straight technology play he would choose XLK. If you want more diversification go with QQQ.

(A Top Pick Oct 27/17 Up 4%.) Has done very well in 2017. We saw a correction take place back in November and that actually happens on a fairly regular basis. They exited the sector and then recently came back into it. They are looking to stay in this sector until at least the end of mid-January, if the markets corrects, he would consider exiting, but we are in a seasonal strength period for technology from October 10th until January 17th. Companies tends to spend more of their budget on technology at this time of the year driving the sector up.

Technology? If looking for growth, this is probably one of the better spaces to be in. He doesn't think Tech companies are overvalued and they tend to have real earnings. As a growth component in your portfolio, it’s an excellent way to go.

SPDR Industrial (XLI-N) or SPDR Technology (XLK-N)? He likes the industrial space and the technology area as well. If you are asking for a very timely standpoint, technology came down a little in the last week or so, so he would probably buy this right now.

He likes the sector. Roughly 10% of the S&P 500 is FAANG stocks. However, Netflix is approximately 0.5%. If looking at Apple and Microsoft, they have been around for 30 years and trading at normal valuations. Facebook is about 40 P/E ratio, which is fine for a growth company. He has an issue with Amazon and Netflix which are about 200X between the 2 of them, which is crazy. Amazon is a pretty big percentage of the S&P 500 at about 2%.

Chart shows a strong upward trend from the beginning of 2016. There is a seasonal period for technology, from October to mid January. This sector is leading the market, so you want to stay with some of the leaders, especially during the seasonal period.

A good way to play technology. The sector is interesting. They are probably a good portfolio filler, but if you want higher returns, he would look elsewhere.

If you’ve owned this for a long period of time, you’ve done really, really well. If you look at the composition #1 is Apple, which has had a great run this year. The market is expecting high growth this year from these stocks. Given the lofty valuations on these stocks, he chose to cut his holdings in half. He wouldn’t add any fresh positions.
