Q: Hi,

What do you think of these 3 ETFS (XME,XLB, XLI) for the next 2 years and, hopefully much longer? I'm hoping for a 7% position.
Would you invest in any of them?
Is there another ETF you like better?

Q: Not super happy about the 2% drop in the price of oil today; however, I am a bit more mystified by the 5%+ drop in the price of XME. Is this a function, for whatever, reason, of inflation fears? Your perspective would be extremely welcome. Thanks!

Q: I own XEI, ALA, and TOUr but little oil.

I'm hoping to buy base metals and oil in an CDN etf. Do you think this is a good idea and what would you recommend?

Q: I happily sold June 18, 2021 calls today against my long XME position. Given that this yielded a, to me, amazing 4.47%, I anticipate a Summer of repeating (I hope) this process. Do you perceive that the metals "surge" is in my favor? (note: being assigned would not disturb me in the least) What is your position on the value of covered call writing for income purposes?
