Q: Hi,

Q: Hello

Asked this question earlier but did not see a reply.

Just wondering if, in a rising gold price environment, would a covered call ETF benefit from increased call option premium income? And, if so, would this offset the increased risk of missing capital appreciation as a result of the underlying security being called away?

Q: Hi 5 i Team - Although I still like Tourmaline I am considering trimming my position and using the proceeds to buy something else in the oil and gas sector but with more growth potential. First of all am I right in considering Tourmaline an income type of stock with little growth potential. Secondly could you provide a few O&G suggestions for growth, preferably mid cap and small cap but also large cap if you think it would fit into this theme. Thanks.

Q: Is there a book or online resources on how to manage your portfolio during retirement (or close to retirement) that you can recommend?
I have read a lot about long term investing, the economical cycles, and related weightings during wealth maximization stage when one has many years before retirement. I recently started asking myself about how that could change when a person approaches retirement and then actually retires. I still have many years before I retire but I would like to plan early.
Your advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Q: Hi 5i Team - The guest today on BNN Market call mentioned that Lumine specializes in carve-outs and that is to their advantage. Although he explained it, I'm not sure what carve-outs means and even if I have the correct term. Could you provide more information on this. In addition he felt that the evaluation is quite rich. Do you also feel this way. Also could you provide a summary of Lumine's fundamentals. and if you have any concerns with these fundamentals.
Thanks.
