Q: Peter and Team,
I have some covered calls written on Badger Daylighting, Tourmaline, and Painted Pony that look like will get called away at the end of this week. This will make approximately 10% of the portfolio available. I have essentially replicated the Balanced Equity portfolio otherwise (don't hold Whitecap or Magna, though) and I have approximately 10% of invested assets in short term bonds and approximately 7.5% of invested assets in US stocks (Xylem, Starbucks, and Visa).
My initial plan with the new cash available was to top up a couple Balanced Equity positions (SYZ and SLF, probably) to full positions and then to add a US Stock or two. My first thoughts for US stock were JNJ and GE.
What do you think of this plan and would you suggest any modifications? Should I be adding more to fixed income? I am 34, by the way and feel like I have risk tolerances that matches the BE portfolio quite well in general.
Thanks!
