Q: Hello,

Your earlier reports included comparisons with peer companies and competition. It is missing from the newer reports. In my opinion it is valuable to have this information and I request you to consider including this in your reports, although the methodology to arrive at valuation may be different. Thanks.

Q: When a RRSP becomes converted into a RRIF ,I tend to believe that owning a certain proportion of covered calls ETF ( let's say 30- 40% ?) could be interesting in order to get enough dividends each year , to avoid selling, and to preserve the capital for constant revenues when you are in excellent health..Thanks for any comments or suggestions ,the goal being long term optimized revenues .
