Q: What is happening with Canadian Gold Corp (CGC.VN) lately... up 65% this month? I've held it for years now at a loss and am wondering whether to quit while I'm ahead or hang on to it. (It was a bit of good news amidst this overall mess.)

Q: You recently suggested to Brian that alumine would be a good buy. You have generally been positive on lumine. I have some but have been hesitant to buy more. In contrast, I have a full 5% and even more in CSU. For an older person with a more or less balanced portfolio and with some risk tolerance, what percentage would you suggest?

Thanks as always for your great work

Q: Good Evening
My question is about FC -Firm Capital Mortgage Corporation.
In your universe there are several convertible unsecured FC debentures but not the actual FC.
Can you please provide some information about this company. Their dividend was not cut since 2004. Is it suitable for an investor who is interested in relatively less risky investments with predictable income streams.
Thank you.

Q: What should I understand about “Target Price?”

For example, what is the implied time horizon?; is this meant to guide investment decisions of buying and selling based upon forecast highs and lows?

Since you include this in your Company Profiles I assume that it provides something valuable.

Q: I was wondering about your practice of selling covered calls. Do you hold off in environment like this? With all of the uncertainty, there could be a dramatic turn in either direction. Do you wait for things to settle down to get a clearer sense of where things are heading or do you continue in this environment?
Thanks

Q: I understand Covered call ETFs limit the upside potentials when the market is in uptrend. So what type of ETFs increase the upside potential when the market is in uptrend?
I'm asking because at some point the current down trend market trend will reverse and if one wants to get the maximum benefit of the uptrend do you think leveraged ETFs are a good choice ?

Or do you suggest any other types of ETFs?
