Q: May I have your latest thoughts on UFS? In 2020 you were fairly negative on their debt...is that still your position? Over the past month I have seen the stock hit new 52 week highs...do you have any idea what is driving the stock higher?

Is UFS simply a material stock which is now bouncing hard now or is there something more to it? According to my broker UFS earnings per share is negative $3.52. Are the earnings projected to go positive this year?

Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Jim

Q: Further to my question regarding US financials and covered call etfs.
First thanks for your answer.
Both CALL and ZWK trade in CAD. Are there any USD denominated covered call etfs?
Or is there more merit in owning USA etfs in CAD?

Thanks.
