Q: Is the Buffett Indicator of any value today. Meaning if it goes above 180% should you rethink your momentum stocks and reduce margin? Buffett indicates that above 200% is dangerous and 120% is now normal. Have these numbers been adjusted in recent years due to quantitative easing and now that the feds have reduced quantitative easing should they be tightened? What do you feel the new normal range is with the feds hawkish change? I know timing the market is never good, but I think reducing margin and removing the gasoline at times should be considered.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team
I have held QSR in a RIF and am considering replacing it with KEG or AW. Both have more attractive dividends and seem to be performing better in the present environment. Could you rank in order of preference based on present valuation and future returns. Thanks for all you do.

Q: The company issued guidance for 2022 and 2023. This stock seems undervalued and I don't see any analyst coverage. What company would be a good comparable company?

Q: I use covered calls on a small number of US stocks to generate monthly cash flow and I am wondering what you recommend when coming up to an earnings report. Typically I use short duration calls of 1 month.

Is it better to wait for the report or ignore that and write a one month call that would straddle the earnings report? The other possibility, of course, would be to write a very short option to expire just before the earnings report.

I am looking at LMT at the moment but this is more of a "What factors would you consider in deciding in this kind of situation?"

Many thanks

Mike
