Q: Given the increasing implied VOL in options, what are your favourite names in CAD and USD for covered call strategies?

Looking for stocks that you already like that have reasonably liquid options (I know harder in CAD) and you think have excellent bounce back potential and wouldn't mind owning for 2-3 years. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
In a recent question on Apple’s new privacy policy on iOS, you said that FB will be impacted as it is an App on the iphone, but GOOG is largely unaffected as most of its ad revenue is derived from its search engine. In another question, you mentioned that GOOG is also implementing similar changes to its Android system. With the big guns tightening their privacy settings, will the smaller players, such as MGNI and AT, see a significant drag on their revenues? MGNI and AT are off big time but it may be more the market backdrop.
Thanks again.

Q: Based on todays prices, which of the beaten up tech is the "best" (most likely to do well moving forward, best monopoly / moat safety, most safe earnings, best books today, best P/E) to buy for a long term hold (over ten years)?

qualifying them on the above characteristics would be appreciated or any other variable that you feel is important.

If my list missed any other tech considerations, please let me know.

thanks

Ernie

Q: We know uncertainty helps the markets drop. With Russia saying they are drawing back troops and NATO and USA say they are building up, one could anticipate uncertainty ahead. With this in mind, is there any advice for which type of stock might be the best to buy on a future dip?
