Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hello 5ir,
I own AGU which will be merging wit POT. The effective day of the merger does seem to have been established. I have sold the April 20, 2018 call option as a covered write. What happens to the option if the effective date of the merger is before the option expiration date of April 20, 2018?
My broker did not know and neither did their option desk?
Cheers, HD

Q: On July 12-th you answered Austin's question on ZUB/ZBK. The difference in returns between the two funds can be significant depending on the timeframe compared. Would ZUB still be your pick today? What information would you use to switch between the two? Would you be adding at this point to the US banks exposure for long therm investment (10 years)?

Q: Good Morning,
I currently own equal amounts of BMO, NA, & RY. I am considering selling one of the three and replacing it with JPM. Do you think this strategy makes sense, and if so, which one of the Canadian Banks would you let go.
Thank you for this great service and all the best to you and your families for the holidays!

Q: I forget where I read it, but I hear that the Japanese stock market is in a recovery and growing. The writer suggested that the the N.A. markets will be heading into bearish territory in the next year or so. Th writer's thesis was that it would be a good time to buy Japanese stocks to diversify and guard one's portfolio against pullbacks. What do you think of this? Could you recommend any Japanese companies or etfs? Could you recommend a research platform to learn about Japanese or other foreign, publicly traded companies.
