Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: The Morningstar report on NXF is really a downer citing weakness in management for lack of experience and the process of leaning toward larger and undervalued companies as well as overweighting in yield paying companies and those paying dividends and buying back shares. Hey, isn't that a GOOD thing? If I wanted caution I would be buying bonds. As I read this report the question is should I heed this comment or stay with NXF as it is? From 2020 it ranged from $6.80 in 2022 to $5.80 nowt to me it seems appropriate in my well diversified portfolio.

Q: As a TRP dividend investor of 77 years old are the problems with the XL pipeline already baked? As I am a value investor for the most part would you suggest a switch to PPL or other suggestion? I have a 5 - 8 year time frame. I also hold ENB, SU, XOM and CVX as well as NXF as the energy part of my portfolio.

Q: I often hear money managers talk about buying a specific stock (e.g. Apple to choose a simple one) and then writing covered calls against it ….. and emphasizing the prospect of winning both ways.

I am not keen on taking a course in options trading at this point.

Does it make sense to attempt the same kind of thing using etfs?

For example, in technology using XIT or TEC and pairing it with ZWT;

or other sectors too, such as energy XLE … or XLF for financials? In this case can you suggest a couple of covered calls - one for energy and one for financials?


As usual, thanks…. much appreciated.
