Q: Good afternoon:
You have mentioned SFL on occasion in the past. Would it be relatively safe to add to a small position at the present price for income purposes only?
Thank you.

Q: Can you please give me advice on how to purchase us stocks in the most cost efficient manner.

I do not have very much in consumer staples and would look toward the US side to diversify.

I would consider purchasing proctor and gamble for example and 1000 shares would be > 80 000 $ US.

I have the funds in canadian dollars. I presently self manage my portfolio through BMO investor line.

how would you recommend proceeding with such a purchase in the most cost / fee efficient manner.

would you recommend an ETF in the consumer staples sector instead ?

thank you

Q: I bought this etf a year ago. It is in my RRSP US account. The etf is up 7%. Should i sell and buy it back when it dips. It has 0.15% expense ratio. Can you treat these etf's like stocks, or should it be held long term. It keeps fluctuating, so I thought of cashing in. Is it a good strategy. Thank you

Q: Hi Peter and team. For the most part, I am a buy and hold investor with a very long time horizon especially for dividend-paying stocks. However, I also use a buy-write strategy where I write covered calls on stocks. For example, I am considering doing this with AAPL $135 calls expiring in July (07/17/15) that last traded at $4.46. So, if buy 100 shares stock and write 1 call, three month upside (after transaction fees) about $900 for a $13000 investment (7%) Any thoughts or advice on this? (E.g. what time frame for calls would you suggest? Any "art" of selecting the best delta?) Thanks for great service!

Q: Hi Peter,

When I first started to subscribe I decided to take not of some of the US stocks you mentioned and thought highly of, as I was in need of some US ideas for that side of my port.

The ideas I recorded that you suggested to certain subscribers were MTSN/PSEM/OREX.

Since March 1 MTSN is down 30%, PSEM is down 20% and OREX is down 13%.

What is your thoughts on these 3 stocks after these tumbles. What happened to them and why? Would you still buy them, hold them if you own them, or sell if you own them?

I know you don't offer detailed coverage on these three but I would appreciate your answers as you seem to be familiar with them.

Thanks in advance.
