Q: Hello Team,
Would you prefer Pfizer or Bristol Myers in this space, or, given the electioneering going on in the U.S. would something like Walgreens be your preference in the Health Care space?
Thank You,

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I have read your previous comments about BB and agree it is a unique puzzle and enigma! Ha!Ha! Currently it is only $1.00 above Book Value and approaching it's annual low. Could I please have your current opinion on this stock? Does the low price justify the risk? Could they be eventually bought out for there patients and security features? Does this qualify as a reasonable contrarian play?
Your opinions are always thought provoking and invaluable.
With respect...

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I realize that a Penny Stock is highly speculative. I am just curious how they progress to become a viable investment. Please give me your assessment of KG. Do they have a good asset? Do they have the funding? How would you rate there management team? Will they ever get a shovel in the ground or will they just fade into the wind like so many other Penny Stocks? Ha!Ha!

Q: Hello Peter and Team
Some success in writing covered calls on US stocks in you last article. What would be your advice if the stock price drops significantly below the original buy price after the option expires. AAPL down over 10% last week.
Would you still consider writing a call option at a strike price well below your original cost?
Would it be a better strategy to stick to less volatile companies?
Thanks for the advice
Peter
