Q: Hello,

I am already knee deep in BMO covered call ETF's and down 20% - 30%.

I can dollar cost down and buy more , take the high yield and wait for price to rise
OR
Sell and move on (to what?)

I believe 5i is wary about buying covered call options during a crash due to limited upside potential.

What could I do at this stage to get income of an equivalent yield and possible upside?

Cheers

Q: I currently hold a medium size postion of Invesque.u I depend on the stock for its dividend It is currently yielding 24 percent
If they cut the dividend by 2/3 rds it will still yield 8 percent which is a very high rate In your opinion will the company go bankrupt or will it survive I appreciate your response Paul

Q: Hello 5i--I'm looking at these companies for the dividend yield. A bonus would be their recovery to previous highs. What would your ranking be for the three to achieve these goals? Thanks, Ron W

Q: Are there any companies out there now with an 8% or higher dividend that you would suggest for a long term hold? I say 8, bc it hasn’t been overly hard to find 4-5 before this carnage. I picked up ENB already, and I’m ok if the short/med term div is cut and the price falls further. I’m really looking for stocks that will likely pay a high stable dividend into the future (based on current prices) after things return to normal. No preference on sector.

Q: seem to have a lot of questions about the safety of dividends and will they be cut.
I thought I would add another one to the fire and ask you power corp. and power financial became one company now and the management said it would raise dividend 10% in second quarter. do you see this being in jeopardy now with the market tanking day after day. do you also see banks possibly not raising dividends anymore this year [Canadian] until things get better hopefully.

Q: I was wondering if it would be possible to get a list of the CDN O & G companies that would be at risk of cutting dividends. Most have high debt levels and if O & G stays low for a long time, they will have to conserve capital and pay back debt.
