Q: Hello

Asked this question earlier but did not see a reply.

Just wondering if, in a rising gold price environment, would a covered call ETF benefit from increased call option premium income? And, if so, would this offset the increased risk of missing capital appreciation as a result of the underlying security being called away?

Q: Is there a bond crash coming because of high government debt, particularly in the US? How do you see gold and energy markets performing in that kind of environment and are short term bonds even worth the risk? Or is this fear all over done and we just live with debt levels far beyond our ability to ever repay them?

Q: I am currently somewhat overweight bank and gold stocks. Would these covered call funds be complimentary or simply increase sector exposure even more?
It's very hard to ignore the 11% yield with GLCC and BANK for an income seeking investor.
Why is ZWB 7% while BANK is 11%

thank you
