Q: goodday
In your options strategy i notice that you renew the option or sell another one about once a month. I have heard that others look out to two or three months. I have looked at calm and noticed that on a $60 strike price, you stand to make pretty much the same premium, the feb premium just paying thrr times more than the dec premium. I would like to know if there is any kind of advantage in the once per month option
Thanks
Q: Hello Peter,
Other than positive comments on BNN, what is driving the stock prices higher everyday this week for crh medical, constellation software, and patient home monitoring. Do you think investors are just using BNN as a trading vehicle for stocks as opposed to looking at long term ? Also if you had prioritize your investments between constellation, Eng house and CGI group, how would you rate those? I was thinking 5% weight for constellation, 5% for Eng house , and 2 percent for CGI group. Please provide your view. Thanks again.
Q: Looking to bolster my income names. The pipelines/util are languishing near there lows and the price targets on the names are much higher not to mention the juicy dividends. They look really good on the surface.I have modest positions in TRP,ALA,VNR. ENB, BEPand IPL are also on my watch list. VNR is the one that has held up the best. All solid companies, But are these names good value at these levels, some still trading at high teen p/e . Or do the banks offer better risk reward?

Q: I have heard comments that higher yielding stocks such as utilities, reits, pipelines and banks are bond proxies that will decline in price substantially when interest rates rise because their yields will rise along with interest rates. Do you know what the historical relationship has been between higher yielding stocks and interest rates during previous rate increase cycles?
Is there any hope this stock will rise from the ashes? Could you comment on their last quarter report.
This is a "speculative" investment for me and is a very small portion of my portfolio (less than .5%). Should I move on to something else with these funds?
