Q: Hi 5i guys. Back in OCT or Nov when Linamar was stuck in the low $70 range I sold a long dated call on LNR at $80 strike price since I didn't think LNR was going to move in price very much and I thought I would collect some premiums. Well LNR has been well over $80 for a couple of weeks and the option still has not been exercised and I still have my 100 shares of LNR. This seems odd to me since I figured that the counter party to this option would have exercised their option to take the LNR shares. Is there a logical reason why this option is still outstanding. I am not disappointed with my call selling strategy since I got over $3 of premium so I am flat since LNR has been trading around $84.

Q: With respect to the class action regarding Lightspeed, they make it difficult to Opt Out of the class action by requiring proof of purchase, number of securities, etc. and I am wondering why it is so difficult. I understand that the lawyers want as many claimants as possible in order to be successful in your action. It seems to read if you don't opt out and the settlement is approved then you will be sent further forms to fill out in order to receive any settlement monies. Your thoughts are appreciated.

Q: For an income seeking investor who has built up a modest portfolio and wealth using institute financial advisors considering doing investing on their to save fees to create more wealth and income, how many hours/ week would one have to spend to monitor, research and buy/sell investments for their portfolio?

Second question/questions what basic investing knowledge should one have or perhaps a better way to ask this question is can you name a few investing courses one could take to be more comfortable investing without the assistance of a financial advisor?

Thanks and seasons greetings to all.
