How/ where do I sign up for your ETF Update newsletter?

Q: I own equal amounts of both of these shares (1% of my portfolio).

BDSI is performing well and owns a non-opiod painkiller (BELBUCA) that just received approval from Health Canada. They need a contact in Canada to sell/distribute it. Is this the sort of thing that Knight would facilitate?

Palladin used to sell BDSI products but recently returned that portfolio to BDSI to focus on other areas. BDSI now sells directly in US.

Q: As I grow older I find myself more risk adverse. You receive many questions regarding going to more cash when one fears a market correction and you claim, and I agree, that market timing is very difficult to pull off. None the less I am fearful of large loses similar to those encountered 10 years ago.
Now to my question. If one is investing for income, as I understand it, if the dividend is safe then a capital loss while not good can be tolerated with the hope of recovery because of the steady income flow. I am setting up a RRIF and am concerned about equity draw downs from a recession as well as increasing interest rates. In conclusion an income investor should be able to sleep at night knowing there is a steady income stream. I am trying to generate a 5% annual dividend stream. Thank you.

Q: I currently own SHOP, KXS and PHO but want to add one more tech stock to bring my tech weighting up to about 15%. I was thinking about adding CLS or OTEX. Which would you prefer as more of a growth stock or do you have another suggestion?

Q: Hi,
If I were to buy & sell options as a strategy to create a monthly income flow, would any proceeds (profits or losses) be considered as Capital Gains or Income for income tax purposes?
Also, if trading options, is there any consideration to be aware of in regards to option-able stocks that pay dividends?
Thank you.
