Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
This stock has been like winning the lottery...it has risen about 50% since May. Needless to say it makes my day. So what do you think? Do you think that it has more room to run or should I cash in my winning ticket? Ha!Ha! Also if there is some kind of so called recession would it be seriously devalued.
Thank you for your opinion and insight...it is always a voice of reason! With respect...thanks again!

Q: Canadian telecom stocks have not been performing well recently.
1 ) Are Canadian telecoms strictly comparable to U.S. counterparts like VZ which has also not performed well but appears to trade more cheaply and with a higher dividend .
2) And if they are comparable , might that suggest that the Canadian companies could play catch-up to the downside ?
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i Team

Reviewing the publicly listed mortgage investment corporations (MIC) on the TSX and TSXV.

1 - Are there any others listed on exchange(s) other than the five listed?

2 - Is Builders Capital Mortgage Mortgage too small (~$19M market cap) for consideration?

3 - What is the best metric to compare MICs - price to earnings / price to book / others?

4- What would be your ranking - best to worst?

5 - Any other considerations?

Thank you

Q: Good morning 5i
Just a clarification on your covered call strategy that you mentioned today. You said that if called away, say, at $45 you would immediately sell a put for $45 for about a month out. One of the reasons for this i imagine is that you think the stock has the wind in its sails. Right? Also, how would this strategy affect the superficial loss rule. I don’t imagine you would be seen as buying the stock within 30 days?
Thanks

Q: You have like this Reit in the past, but recently I have read it has high debt and was not recommended (in this particular article). Do you still like it, and what would be a good entry point if you were to buy it. I have a small position and am not sure whether I should add to it or not. Thanks.
