Q: Hi

You have previously ok’d JEPI as an income etf.
I already own JEPI and am considering JEPQ. As you have pointed out upside is capped due to the covered calls. BUT I like the income stream.

Would JEPQ be a good complement to JEPI?

And are the payouts something that can be counted on …. Barring some unforeseen calamity ?

Thanks.

Q: I think it could be helpful to have timely access to insider trading - would you agree? Is canadianinsider.com a reputable source? I went to their website and it is cluttered with advertisements and looks a bit bogus.
Thanks for your comments!!

Q: In your article Stock VS Bonds you wrote:
Investors theoretically should have an exit target price in mind when making a purchase.
Can you explain this a bit more? Would you give an example? Maybe with SU?

Q: In your reply to the Dan’s June 27 question concerning NTR you said NTR is much larger, and much cheaper (4X earnings). When I look in your Market Data section I see no reference to 4X earnings for NTR. How was the number determined & where in the NTR’s market data do I look for that number. Thanks … Cal

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and 5i team
Our financial advisor is changing from a non discretionary advisor to a discretionary advisor. We understand that it will allow him to buy and sell securities without our consent allowing for quicker action. Is there any advantage to this type of portfolio. The fee structure will be going up from 1 % to 1.15%.
Is it fair that the fee structure will be going up?
Thank you for your opinion

Q: Hi, I have very small positions in each of these. Do you think it makes sense to sell STC ANRG and WELL to add to DND and CTS ? I view them as «safer» compagnies if a recession comes and they have as much long term upside potential as the others. What are your thoughts ? Thank you.

Q: Good morning good folks
When you suggest a hold period of X number of years does this imply the beginning of growth for that stock ...or perhaps a 5 or 10 or whatever percentage of growth. ? For instance I stepped in to buy more LSPD. If you suggest 2 or 3 or whatever number of years before I see any kind of profit..what could this mean in percentage?
Thankyou as always
