Q: Why are the put write index etfs so far under the radar? In Canada there is only ZPW which has a market cap of 110 million, and in the U.S. there is only HVPW with a market cap of 38 million. There is also ZPW.U which accepts only U.S. funds but it's extremely small at 5 million. The dividends on these etfs are over 7% and they don't seem any more unsafe than a covered call etf, though it is clear that the share prices could deteriorate as much as any etf under certain market conditions.

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,
Sorry for another question about the changes to the mortgage business! The new rules will undoubtedly disqualify a number of people from obtaining mortgages, thus relegating them to renting instead of buying real estate. I'm wondering if this is a buying opportunity for "apartment" type REITs like CAR.UN and IIP.UN. If so, what REITs do you find most compelling, and is there any preference as to where should they be held? (RRSP, RRIF, TFSA, Non-registered investment account.)
Thanks as always for your valued advice.
