Q: BUYING PROTECTION: WHEN to buy? WHAT TO BUY?
From time to time (especially today on CNBC) I am hearing Traders talk about buying protection with volatility in the US at ~16 .... vs much higher last week.
I assume this advice is also linked to the fact that US markets have just finished a “best ever” kind of bounce after last weeks debacle.

Does 5i agree with that strategy?
Would you be inclined to do this automatically when VOL drops to a specific level? If so, what level?
What ETF(s) would you suggest since playing options is not my game?
Would there be a rule of thumb as to how long to hold that “protection” in place?

Thanks for helping to educate me in this area.

Q: I realize that you have not been a cheerleader for this company, but wondered what you think of it after the recent (May 2019) acquisition? They are saying it is immediately accretive to AFFO on a per share basis. Another interesting note is their use of the existing management team. I am considering it to add some "USA" flavour to my healthcare full position in Sienna. Would you like it for a full position, or perhaps 50%, or …?

Thank you

Q: Hi there,

Just some follow up questions on these two etfs. Neither has done well over the last several years in terms of growth, so i suspect one buys these for income only. If so, wouldn't one just buy the one with highest dividend? if you had to pick only one preferred ETF which one would it be and if not one of these 2 which one and why?

Q: Reko just released very good 3rd quarter results. The company has a solid Book Value(no goodwill) at $7.20 with no debt except for mortgage debt on their properties.
They finally showed revenue growth driven by their automation division. They are generating close to $1 per share annually in cash flow. As a microcap investment do you consider this company undervalued with significant upside potential?

Q: In your asset allocator, it shows that I am lower in US and international stocks. I have recently purchased US positions in TEAM, AYX, and NVDA. What other growth stocks for a 10+ year hold that would cover International/US?

Q: Good morning,
Yesterday, I submited this question and never received an answer. My question was "would you invest in one of these companies? if yes, which one? In which order would put them in investment preference?
I am a long term investor particularly in companies who increases their dividend. The four above have increase their dividend in at least the last 6 yrs.

Thank you
