Q: Hello 5i,
I have owned ZPW.U since 2016 and I am down ~ 20%, of course I receive ~7% dividend paid monthly.. regardless, I am getting frustrated with this investment as it doesn't seem to participate in any gains when the market declines as I assumed the puts would. In your view, what are the reasons for the decline since 2016? and do you see a possible rebound? or just exit this horrible investment.
Thanks
CR

Q: I know US companies are not your focus however I wanted to get your thoughts on selling GE and allocating some US$- in my rrsp.
I am an income investor and currently hold ZPW-U and ZWH-U in equal weight re investing the dividends monthly. I also have a small position in JNJ and a larger position in GE (7%) of portfolio. I am concerned GE really isn't going anywhere and am considering switching to something with a better outlook any suggestions etf or stock to add here... or should I continue to hold?
I already hold VGG in another account...

Q: Good afternoon,
You recently responded to a question concerning put write etfs. My understanding is that such an etf may perform poorly in a bear market. Is there an etf trading in Canada employing an option strategy that would benefit from a bear market, apart from the highly leveraged short term products?
Thank you for your advice.
