Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello folks,

This is a follow up question to Ross' on March 6 2024.

You didn't answer the second part of Ross' question!

Are there any studies comparing "selling" calls or puts and buying and holding the stocks?

I know intuitively that it depends on stocks! Some are so good for writing calls. Some are good for puts and some for buying and holding! But that is not evidence based! Also a "cop out" answer!

Any studies that you know of?

Thanks Ross for asking that excellent question. Thanks Peter et all for your answer.

Q: Gold is at new highs but based on a review of recent answers, gold miners are not seeing share price appreciation because of the costs of production and other factors.
Are there any gold stocks that you think are worth buying?

Q: A full position is considered to be 5%. So if a family has say 2 tfsa’s of $50k each and an RSP of $100k for total of $200k, would you look at a 5% full position in each account, which would amount to $2500 in each tfsa and $5000 in the RSP, or would you look at 5% based on the household registered total of $10,000 and be ok with a $10,000 hold in 1 RSP account even though in that account its 20% but still only 5% of the family portfolio if you will. Hope this makes some sense.

Q: Put Options betting the stock will go down or Call Options betting the stock will go up.

Do you prefer one over the other?

Thinking of trying both, I'm a 10 year self investor.

Or just continue to buy stock for the long term?

Are there any statistics that prove using Put & Call's perform better than buying and holding stocks?

Thank you.
