Q: I am interest in expanding my oil and gas investments to the service side of the oil and gas sector. Would you be able to compare three drilling companies that I am considering. I am interested in PD and NBR for on shore drilling and RIG for offshore. I would prefer a company that is profitable or projected to be soon. The focus is on growth and less on dividends. A fair amount of risk can be handled. Please compare information on these three companies.

Q: Can you explain the product from Purpose ETF (ticker APLY) in the link below. Seems to be an ETF which owns Apple shares and somehow gives you yield with a call strategy as you hold. What is downside risk ? What is upside ?

Does anyone just hold shares anymore ? The financial wizardry with these ETFs seems like it will all blow up at some point just like CDOs in 2009.
