Investment Q&A

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

Q: Some questions about JEPI. Perhaps you can answer at least some.

1 In their materials, JEPI states "Provided an attractive 12-month rolling dividend yield of 11.45% and 30-day SEC yield of 9.59%." What is the difference between the "rolling" and the "SEC"?

2. The dividend history shows a range from last Nov / Dec of $0.60 per unit to the recent $0.36 per unit. But it seems the stated yield is still pretty much in the same range as before. Is that correct? how does the stated yield stay the same??

3. The list of the holdings refers to about 15 - 20 "equity linked notes" which have quite mysterious names (eg "SPX 8"). What are these? How does one find out the identity of the item and what they actually are?

4. their material refers to selling options to generate the income; most US s stocks pay fairly small dividends. How much of the portfolio has to involve selling options to get to the amount of yield?

5. This ETF gets mentioned in your questions / answers from time to time. What is your current view of it? Would you anticipate the current yield to stay at this rate?

Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Given the recent Chinese export restrictions on geranium and gallium, are any Canadian companies poised to profit or that have the potential to profit? My geologist buddy tells me that TECK produces some as by-products of aluminum production. He doesn't know if it comes from imported bauxite or not and I'm not sure how that would matter. Any thought on this? Thanks

Q: Hi Guys
i noticed you topped up Aritzia to 4.5% in your Jun update, the stock is down about 10% the last week or so, not sure i understand your strategy here. If a hard landing does come, which is quite possible, EPS could get crushed in this fashion retailer, i bet at some point its down another 30%, like many of the other stocks, take GOOS as another example.
Again it seems to me that 30-40 % draw downs from purchase price recommendations are no big deal.
Thanks ! Gordie

Q: Just reading about the takeover of RNW by TA. Not really interested in TA as I need income and the reduction in yield will go from 8.55 down to 1.88% with only 1.03 shares of TA for every share of RNW. My question is if RNW happens to trade above the $13 mark, will it be better to just sell all of those shares if this happens?

Thanks
Jeff
