Q: Good day,

I am looking for a good (over-priced) US stock to for a Put spread - one where the premium (implied volatility) is reasonable. I had a Put spread on TSLA, but got out of it when they announced the spilt (as those options, post-split, go to the liquidity wasteland). Thanks

ps. I would prefer a US stock, but if that is not doable, then CDN will do. Thx

Q: I sold TTD and AMZN to realize a tax loss more than 30 days ago and I know that I can buy them back today with no issues. I bought ROKU and SHOP respectively as proxies a week later with the proceeds. They are both down (I guess things don't always work out!). The first question is can I sell both of these and claim a tax loss despite my not having owned them for 30 days?

Secondly, I am assuming you would recommend buying AMZN back (not that you don't like SHOP) but would you still re-purchase TTD? Does APPS offer a potentially better return? Or might you stay the course with ROKU? It appears to me that these companies are similar businesses.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi 5i. I'm not sure if anyone has ever posed you a question about any of these companies, all of which have substantial operations in Canada.

Obviously, the expectation of continued interest rate hikes will have a strong negative effect on these companies' business this year. Taking a step back, though, do you see much to separate them as investments? For instance, is any of them materially more indebted than the others? Any thoughts you might have would be welcome.

Q: Hi Guys,

Which 20 lower risk stocks would you recommend to build out a $2,000,000 portfolio that will produce $ 80,000 in dividend income?

Would you want to spread out the risk and be in many sectors and stay only in Canada to take advantage of the dividend tax credit laws?

How much of the div is taxed if it’s a U.S stock compared to a Canadian stock?

Thank you for all your help & great services

Q: HI Gang,

You have commented recently that APPS will require patience and is a HOLD at this point. Could you please give some insight as to why you think its a hold? I am down 60% on it and have a time frame of 2-3 years. Could you comment on what to potentially expect in the next 2-3 years. (always respecting you don't have a crystal ball)
Thanks for all your work and guidance in this tough climate!

Q: Greetings,

Considering how popular Cruising is, I was very surprised to see the last time anyone has asked about RCL seems to have been last July!

1. Are they a risky sector?
2. Surely older demographic will gravitate more to Cruising?
3. Which Cruise ship company has the best potential?
4. Is there an aging demography themed ETF?
5. RCL - Buy sell or Hold?

Thanks!
