Q: Good afternoon,
I know they are two very different companies, but if you had to pick one for a 2-3 year time horizon, would you go with BN or GOOG.
Thanks as always.

Q: Thanks for your advice on greater than 10% covered call ETF's in a Trump tariff world .... Of the ones you { and the one I chose HPYT } I am leaning toward a combination of HBND and HPYT for bonds. UMAX for a non volatile stock ETF, and XYLD for US exposure .....
However I am not well versed on bonds . Could you explain the differences between the two ETF's ? I have noticed that they peaked in mid September and declined since. HPYT has declined by 10.65% and HBND by 12.66% ..... What market conditions account for the price action between September and now ? I have no idea what bond durations are or what the significance of a " long " bond is but I am curious why HBND has had the bigger decline of the two ? ..... If HPYT is the less volatile of the two I'm inclined to go for the juicier dividend ..... Please explain the differences between the two ETF's and what circumstances will effect one over the other ? ..... I'm inclined to make my bond ETF purchases now and my stock ETF purchases after the tariff announcements . Would you endorse this strategy ?
Also UMAX isn't really a utility ETF . It is Communication Services 23.2%, Pipelines 22.0%, Industrials 23.6%, and, Utilities 31.2% ..... Is this something I should consider ? Or do you still put it in a defensive category with a minimum of volatility potential ? ......{ I like the juicy 14% dividend but unsure how 5i evaluates it in a Trump tariff world } ..... Thanks for your terrific service ......
