Q: Hi Gang, I have a good number of shares of some blue chip dividend payers such as BCE and RY and wanted to know about some insurance with buying puts. When these correct I feel some pain but do not want to sell as to avoid capital gains plus they pay a nice dividend, just want to sleep better and want to smooth out the volatility, also was thinking of doing the same thing with some index ETF's , is there an essay or an explanation on your web site.

Thanks and keep up the great work.
Anthony

Q: Peter, I have weighting of 20% in Tech (which I want to keep) and it is split evenly between CSU, DSG, ESL and ZQQ. Right now there appears to be more interest in KXS and OTC vs. ESL or DSG. I have a 135% gain in ESL in my taxable account. What do professional do when faced with this? Sell a great company (ESL); pay taxes and buy a faster growing company that investors like at the current time, or keep the great company?

Q: Hello
Can you comment on earnings for both ATP and TA.

Cash flow seems to be improving and both are working on improving leverage levels.

I have a small position in both these companies that I intend on selling to buy more quality names. But I am not in a hurry to sell them since I am down 30% and 40% respectively and would like to let them run a bit if they show signs of improving.


Thank you !

Q: Your comments please on CAP REIT's operating results and your thoughts going forward. Am cautious on the impacts new foreign home ownership taxes will have on apartment valuations in BC and possibly Ontario. Apartment REIT's are coming off a bit. Do you see this continuing in light of the tax situation and a possible US rate hike this year.

Q: I am building a growth portfolio to mimic 5I -- and separate from my other holdings. I own BOS, CXR, DBO, KXS, PUR, SH and RRX at roughly 3% each.

Are all the holdings within the portfolio "buyable" at this time? i.e, do you have a preference in terms of 2 companies to add at this time, which might have more immediate "oomph". (For lack of a better word. I'm still caffeine-challenged at this time of day.)

Thanks for your excellent service.
