Q: The jan 20 issue of Forbes had an interesting article on Buy-write closed end funds in the U.S.. The 5 year returns of the 10 they covered averaged between 12% and 18.7%. The m.e.r.s were around 1%. They all trade below n.a.v. ,and the average yield is between 7 and 10 %. Are the trading strategies risky? Is there a disadvantage to Canadian investors? If not what are we missing? See: FFA ,BOE,CII,IGA,ETY,EOI,JSN,ETV,DPO,NFJ. Thanks, Philip

I've also been looking at CHE.UN, and found that the distribution hasn't changed in at least 7 years. Would you anticipate any increases going forward?

Q: I am wondering what your opinion is of CAE Inc C (CAE, TSE), it was fairly flat for a couple of years but 2013 was a good year for it. Currently it is at 15.15. I have held this stock for quite a while and I am tempted to sell.
Q: Hi Peter,
Many sources have indicated Mexico is due for a break out with new political leadership. Do you agree, and how would you play that possibility. How about EWW-N even with Fx risk? Thanks

Q: could you compare RRX and CTA - holding some RRX and wondering about selling half and buying CTA - what to do?
Q: Would you agree that all things being equal lack of diversification and realtors commissions means owning a REIT is a better way to play real estate than investing directly in rental properties? Bearing in mind the long term advantage of 5:1 mortgage leverage it seems that things are not equal and the advantage is currently with rental properties over a time horizon of twenty years or more .
Do you know any REITs in Canada or the US that employ the same kind of leverage? This would be especially useful when investing in the US market, as maintaning a property far away is highly stressful.

Q: Hi 5i,
Your thoughts on GPE (Great Prairie Energy Services)? Seems like a very cheap growth company with solid management and board. Your thoughts? Would you recommend this for an early stage, high risk / high reward stock?

Q: A comment only, to add to your excellent reply to Paul re stop losses. There is a lot more to them than most people realize, even more difficult than when to sell. And I have the scars to agree with 5i Research about them not using them. The only time I would consider them anymore is when I feel a stock is reaching the top from a technical standpoint or of my objective but I want to wait to see if it can stretch out a little more. Then I might set it fairly tightly and watch it closely.
