Q: Hi team,
The rumors about Intel being broken up and sold to Broadcom and TSMC (may be) seems to be on again! Will it stick this time? Internet rumors are flying high! I saw one figure of upto 47$! (Reddit) Though mostly around 30$.
Some say this is not going to fly. No foreign ownership of US chips!! Trump is the President BTW:)

If I were to write covered call, how high would you suggest that I go?

Any thoughts or opinions?

Q: I’m an investor with a well diversified portfolio and an appetite for growth but I’m considering getting defensive with my kids RESP for capital preservation. I’ll start withdraws in 18 months and continue withdrawing for 9 years if all goes according to plan. Thoughts on how I should structure this portfolio so I can ensure capital is preserved and available when I need it. Any suggestions for stocks, etfs or other that would fit the bill?

Q: What's your view on the idea of opening up Canadian Banking to more competition and the effect it will have on their share prices. Will they still be a 'go to' for Canadian investors or do you anticipate a sharp decline? Great service, thanks.

Q: Hi,

After A&W’s recent conversion into a Corporation do you feel they could be a candidate for a takeover? Is it possible that this conversion to a corporation, which would simplify the structure, was done make them more desirable to an acquiring company? Two obvious Canadian suitors may be QSR and Fairfax which owns many casual dining restaurants under its Recipe Unlimited division. Looking forward to your comments. Thanks.

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: Hi 5 i Team - Although I still like Tourmaline I am considering trimming my position and using the proceeds to buy something else in the oil and gas sector but with more growth potential. First of all am I right in considering Tourmaline an income type of stock with little growth potential. Secondly could you provide a few O&G suggestions for growth, preferably mid cap and small cap but also large cap if you think it would fit into this theme. Thanks.
