Q: I have 13% of my portfolio in diverse covered calls that hold blue chip companies. I am comfortable with that as I look mainly for income. The portfolio is composed of 30% ETF's including the covered calls and 70% individual stocks (16/56). there are a few growth but mostly dividend paying blue chip many that are repeated in the covered call ETF's. I am 77, and have a defined teacher pension.
Total positions are 56. This seems to suit my needs as I have survived so far with a steady income. Am I making a misake or does this seem a valid plan?

Q: Hi

Presently own ZDI in our RRSP.

I am thinking of replacing ZDI with KKR & BRK.B.

KKR and BRK.B are bigger and are like an ETF without the fees.

Also in the long run I think KKR and BRK.B it will have better growth than ZDI .

We would be giving up a good dividend with ZDI go.

Thank you.

Mike

Q: I just came across this quote within an Economist article:

“If you can earn 12%, maybe 13%, on a really good day in senior secured bank debt, what else do you want to do in life?” Steve Schwarzman, boss of Blackstone, a private-investment firm, recently asked.

Are there any bank bonds that you could suggest that would fit in this category?

Q: Is LSPD recent results (Nov 2nd) represent a significant improvement or you would still stay on the side line before adding or starting new position? How would you compare NUVEI and LSPD today?
Thanks for your insight, Peter

Q: Dear 5i
The mean analyst recommendation in Yahoo finance is 1.8 whereas in 5i s website under market data it shows 1.22 for VRT . I assume the market data you show thru your website has more accuracy and therefore more validity . Is that a safe assumption .?Out of curiosity where does your market data come from anyways ?
Thanks

Q: can you describe the step by step process used by LMN to acquire a VSM company ? do they give existing management shares of LMN or pay them a combo of cash and stock? does LMN assume debt when adding to the VSM portfolio?. does existing management continue to have a stake in the newly acquired VSM company ? if so what percent? are there non compete clauses? does existing management have a relatively free rein in future corporate decisions? thanks Richard
