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

Q: Dear Peter,

This question is based on your excellent article in Canadian Money Saver Nov/Dec 2015! How time flies, eh?! Titled: Setting up a US income portfolio with call options.

Several years ago I had asked if you have written any follow articles on this strategy? If you have, please post the links for all of your subscribers. That would be helpful.

But my question is this:
Based on the criteria that you highlighted in that article if you had to choose Five stocks what would those stocks be today?

I am semi retired senior citizen who can allocate 10-15% of my portfolio to this strategy.

Many thanks in advance.
Mano.

Q: Hi 5iTeam - I am interested in buying shares in an online gaming company. My first choice would probably be TSGI but since it is amalgamating with Flutter I would need to go through a broker to either buy or sell in the future. Since it very difficult to connect with a customer service representative over the phone these days (understandably) do you have any other suggestions for three or four companies in this field that trade on any of the markets in Canada or the U.S. They don't have to be companies with pristine balance sheets but at least ones that have decent fundamentals and management along with a good chance of coming out on the plus side in the next few years. Thanks.

Q: Here is a multi-part question regarding gold ETFs, please deduct as many credits as necessary:
1) If one were to choose one of the following gold ETFs to hedge their portfolio, which one would 5i recommend (or would you recommend another), and why? CGL.C, IGT, HUG, HGY. What is your opinion on the covered call strategy employed in HGY?
2) What is the difference between GLD and GLDM? What are the pros/cons of owning one versus the other?
3) How are gold ETFs taxed in Canada? Is there any taxable component that is payable even if the ETF is simply held and not sold?

Thank you very much!

Walter
