Q: Hello Peter and Team
Some success in writing covered calls on US stocks in you last article. What would be your advice if the stock price drops significantly below the original buy price after the option expires. AAPL down over 10% last week.
Would you still consider writing a call option at a strike price well below your original cost?
Would it be a better strategy to stick to less volatile companies?
Thanks for the advice
Peter

Q: Feel free to disregard this question if its not the type of thing you're looking to get into.

Do you have any thoughts on Marc Cohodes? Raises red flags for me when I see a guy based in the US but specializing in shorting the (much smaller) Canadian market. Does he have a good reputation in financial circles?

Any thoughts on his recent interview on BNN? To me, it looked like if he was given 2 more minutes of air time his answers would have devolved to include a zombie apocalypse scenario.

Thanks again for your opinions.

Q: Hello, I had a position in Lingo Media, and sold them just after Q4 financials were released. The stock has fallen since and I am just wondering your take on the company moving forward. I did not like the precipitous fall in online revenues in Q4 (which was not explained by management), but annual numbers looked good.
