Q: Hi 5i team,
Can you please help me understand the difference between LLY on the NYSE and LLY on CBOE Canada. The stock price difference is like $28 v $748 which makes me think that I am not looking at the same company. Please enlighten me!
Thanks for your assistance,
Paula

Q: Wednesday morning cibc investors Edge was plagued with issues. The app was spitting out system errors.
Any one else have issues? Sadly on one of my trades I chose the wrong currency with all the errors on my screen, hard to keep everything straight.
Called cibc. They verified system issues, though they had less sympathy for my mistake while their system was coughing up furballs.
Are their any online brokers that are bullet proof ?

Q: Analysts, are they are all good, they sure can swing a stock price. I remember a couple of years ago when one of them downgraded a Berkshire owned stock, and Mr. Buffet said the earnings were just fine and the analyst got it wrong. Why do they always have to be right?
Thanks Again

Q: I have a small amount invested with wealthsimple and they are asking me if I would like to participate in their stock lending. I can earn passive income if any of my stocks are loaned out.
Do you see any problem with doing this?
I don’t really understand how you can make money doing this but am willing to do it if basically risk free.
Thank you for any input

Q: Hi 5i Team - If a company is listed on both the U.S. and Canadian exchanges, do you have an opinion on which would be the better choice, I realize that this may be a bit of a complex question with a number of variables to consider so if you could address just a couple of those variables that would be great.
As a corollary do U.S. dividends need to claimed in RRSP's and TFSA's.
Thanks.

Q: My question concerns the significance in a stock’s price bid & ask price difference. Today LMN’s bid ask difference is .15 cents while BCE’s is .01 cents. Question 1 is why do stocks have varying bid ask differences. Question 2 is it better to buy stocks with small bid ask differences. And question 3 does a third party prosper if a stock has a large bib ask difference. Thanks … Cal
Q: I would appreciate your opinion on the use of covered call ETF's for income oriented investors. There seems to be a lot of advocates for this Passive Income Investing strategy for the higher than normal yields being generated but I just wonder, when something seems too good to be true, it often is. Maybe you have answered or have an opinion elsewhere. Is your view the same in registered/non-registered accounts.

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: 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.
