| PAST TOP PICK | 5.600 | Hap (Robert) Sneddon FCSI | (A Top Pick May 4/11. Down %.) Sold his holdings at about a 10% loss. This one is too dominated by Research in Motion (RIM-T). | 2012-05-14 | |
| DON'T BUY | 6.160 | John Hood | A lot of this is RIM. Only six stocks contained, and doesn't like it, too concentrated. Prefers ZQQ but at this point is looking at selling ZQQ. | 2012-03-09 | |
| TOP PICK | 7.950 | Hap (Robert) Sneddon FCSI | S&P/TSX Information Technology Capped ETF. Has really gone no where from 2000. Expect he will be selling it at $15-$16 in the future. | 2011-05-04 | |
| DON'T BUY | 7.230 | Don Vialoux | Tech sector has seasonal trend of higher from October until second week of Jan. RIM is a dominant part of this fund. It’s too heavily weighted. Would prefer to own XLK in the US. | 2010-05-31 | |
| DON'T BUY | 7.190 | John Hood | S&P/TSX IT. Basically RIM (RIM-T) and friends. Not broad enough coverage for him so he doesn't use it. | 2010-05-05 | |
| Comment | 6.610 | John DeGoey | Technology ETF. A lot of the tech companies have been boosting their bottom lines by cost cutting but that is supposed to come to an end as we move into Q1. US ETF's will probably be more diversified and cheaper but you are investing in US$. | 2009-11-12 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 5.170 | Don Vialoux | (A Top Pick Aug 27/07. Down 38%.) Exited in December with a profit of around 10%. | 2008-10-20 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 7.330 | Kenneth P. Norquay, CMT | (A Top Pick Apr 17/07. Down 10%.) Was in an uptrend until December and then headed down. | 2008-03-11 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 7.990 | Kenneth P. Norquay, CMT | (A Top Pick Apr 17/07. No change.) Got stopped out on a price violation as well is a decision to be out of the market. | 2008-02-12 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 8.400 | Don Vialoux | (A Top Pick Aug 27/07. Up 0.7%.) High tech stocks do very well from September until the Electronics Consumer Show in January. This one peaked in December, a little earlier expected. | 2008-01-16 | |
| TOP PICK | 8.440 | Don Vialoux | Historically the season is from the end of Sept until the middle of January. This is the time when people buy a lot of electronic goods. This will be an exceptional year for electronics with products like the iPhone, Blackberry, electronic games, etc. Ca | 2007-08-27 | |
| TOP PICK | 8.470 | Hap (Robert) Sneddon FCSI | Thinks it could be easily a double. The 2 main components are Nortel’s (NT-T) restructuring story and RIM (RIM-) with the launch of its Pearl line. | 2007-05-08 | |
| TOP PICK | 8.160 | Kenneth P. Norquay, CMT | Had a nice uptrend since last summer and then fell back, but has now started back up. If you are a trader, the risk/reward is quite good. He is still debating this one. | 2007-04-17 | |
| DON'T BUY | 7.590 | John Zechner | This is a basket of tech stocks. He would rather own an individual company. | 2006-10-16 | |
| DON'T BUY | 7.430 | Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTA | This is made up of 25% RIM (RIM-T) and 25% Nortel (NT-T), 15%. Effectively what you're doing is playing RIM against Nortel. Lately RIM has done very well. It is up against some resistance now which is very meaningful. | 2006-10-11 | |
| BUY | 7.080 | Bill Carrigan | Must own sector. June 2006, it was at $7.10. | 2006-10-02 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 6.810 | Bill Carrigan | (A Top Pick June 6/05. Down 3%.) A basket of Canadian technology stocks. Still likes. | 2006-09-15 | |
| DON'T BUY | 6.810 | Richard Croft | RIM (RIM-T) covers about 25% of this ETF. Likes RIM products, but feels they have a lot of challenges over the next while. Likes technology in general, but not sure he would want to play it over the next 60/90 days. If there was a rally over this period, he would then get out of it. | 2005-11-22 | |
| DON'T BUY | 6.710 | Richard Croft | Likes technology to a large extent, but is focusing on the US area and is not as positive on the Cdn. | 2005-08-03 | |

| TOP PICK | 7.100 | Bill Carrigan | Much too risky to pick individual tech stocks. | 2005-06-06 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 7.310 | Bill Carrigan | (A Top Pick Nov 16/04. Down 7.4%.) Thinks it's fine. | 2005-01-26 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 7.970 | Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTA | (A Top Pick Sept 20/04. Up 7%) Still some upside. Nortel is probably in a bottoming phase in the $4 area and RIM might be in a topping stage, so those two might offset each other. The rest of technology looks good to him. Could get back to the highs ($9?) earlier in the year. Still a Buy. | 2004-12-15 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 8.180 | Richard Croft | (A Top Pick June 7/04. Option Call on the stock and was down 30%.) | 2004-12-14 | |
| TOP PICK | 7.690 | Bill Carrigan | (A Top Pick Sept 14/04. Up .01%.) Has been in a big congestive period this year. This is better than an individual stock as this does not go broke. Good mix. | 2004-11-26 | |
| TOP PICK | 7.750 | Bill Carrigan | A good way to own tech stocks. Will never drop to zero like some tech stocks. | 2004-11-18 | |
| TOP PICK | 7.450 | Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTA | All the heavyweights in the Canadian technology sector are setting up very nicely. Feels the rally will be led by semis. | 2004-09-20 | |
| TOP PICK | 7.620 | Bill Carrigan | Bullish on the tech sector, but it is safer holding a basket rather than individual stocks. | 2004-09-14 |
