Q: Just curious. When CSU was in its infancy, say around $35, the price of LMN now, did it have the same volatility as LMN and TOI have now?
Thanks

Q: One of the recent questions concerned Apple. A 5i member noted that they had purchased the stock at a very low price and now had a huge profit. In essence the question was addressed to you to share with others and confirm their "skills" or good fortune. I would like to compliment you on your answers keeping all of us concentrated on what really matters. Investing in good, solid companies, diversification, and don't trade too much. Oh, and be very thankful when luck shines your way!

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Here is a simple question for you but I do not want to make a mistake with CRA in regards to Capital Gains. If I have a stock in the green and sell ...do I have to pay on just 50% of that gain? On the other hand If I have a second stock in the red of an equal loss and sell...does that just negate the gain entirely? On the other hand are gains only at 50% and losses at 100%? In other words how does one calculate capital gains in general?Thanks...don't want to get into trouble with the "Tax-Man"! Ha!Ha!

Q: If the US decided to devalue their currency, how would that effect stocks?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I have owned this stock for sometime and am up with its recent run. I have hit my sell target but now gold is surging. I am a disciplined long term investor. So your opinion please...do you think it has a little or great run way. I accept that you can not expect to sell at the exact high or buy at the exact low. So if I missed a further increase I would not be troubled. However if I hold and it retreats I would be up set that I was undisciplined...if you know what I mean. So what do you think...good odds to hold for awhile or take the profit and be happy. Thanks for you opinion...I realize I am totally responsible for my ultimate decision.

Q: Good afternoon 5i
I know you sell covered call options and so this question is related that. I have several covered calls coming due on April 19. I notice that I already have a profit of 75per cent. I have considered buying back the calls now and pocketing that profit and immediately selling another covered call, once again, for about a month out. I was wondering whether you ever do this, and if so, under what circumstances? Or, do you generally just let it ride to the date? When i look at things now, prices may be rising in the next while, and i might lose out on that profit if I wait.
Thanks for your great service
