Q: Greetings team 5i,

Beside my core portfolio, I invest about 5% of my money in a “fun” portfolio. It has not been much fun recently. I bought ABBV (at the top) in order to write covered calls and cash-secured uncovered puts.

These calls, written just out-of-the-money and puts written just in-the-money on Mondays with the expiry date on the Friday of the same week, have produced premiums ranging from $US0.81 to $US2.73 which happened this week.

Why is there such a wide range of premium prices and what do the higher premiums suggest?

Thank you.

Milan

Q: Peter et al I am looking at QYLD for enhanced yield in the US and came across EOS. Without regard to the fees attached what is your opinion on these two generally.

Q: Hello 5i,
I am up $3000 to $4000 on JPM, MMM, PEP and others. I am down $3000 on KWH, RME, TCL.A. and others. I do not need money and can stay invested in all. I am retired, 72, with good pensions. I am inclined to just stay put and collect dividends. Should I sell and apply the losses to the gains or just stay put as I am inclined to do?
Thanx,
Stanley

Q: Hi 5i,

With the market correction, I am looking to add to some positions while things are on sale. I am looking at TSLA, which reposted good results last week and thus the stock started to rise. It also did pretty well today in a negative market. I have read your other answers on TSLA. Has you opinion become more positive after the recent results. Thanks 5i

Q: Looking at Microns history it has been quite volatile. Between the end of 2014 and mid 2016 it fell over 70% which ended up being a fantastic buying opportunity. Looking at it now, it has fallen over 40% since its most recent peak. If it were to fall a similar % as 2014-2016 it could go all the way to 20 bucks.

Looking at the most recent balance sheet however, the company paid down a massive amount of debt in 2018, and generated a ton of cash. Is there any estimates of how much cash/share this company could have at the end of 2019? If 2019 is anything similar to 2018 it looks like a decent % of the market cap could be in cash, which makes me think a similar decline as 2014-2016 is unlikely . Is the risk/reward getting increasingly interesting here?

Thanks!
