Q: 5i

What is a covered call and what is the risk level in a covered call ETF in both a rising market and a falling market. Looking at ZWH and ZWU as my utilities segment is low as is my USA segment of my portfolio. Yield on both is good and I am looking more for income with a little growth.

Q: I was listening to someone talking about the dire propane situation going forward in the U.S.
I didn't really get much of the picture, I tuned in precisely because I hold Superior Propane and wondered if I should look into the issue, but better still ask your opinion of that statement. Is there a reason for concern? Thank you.

Q: Hi, My question is about IOU Financial, a small US business loan provider. Their financials seem to be improving, with operating expenses expected to come down in Q4 and they recently secured a new credit facility that lowers their financing cost.

With interest rates going up and USA's economy improving, do you see potential in this name ? What would be the worst risks for them? ( besides being a micro cap )

Thanks
