Investment Q&A

Q: Hi there, often times the 4% rule is used as a foundation for retirement planning. I believe the original study used US equities and US bonds as the funds to develop the 4% withdrawal rule. Obviously no one has a crystal ball, but what would be your opinion on using as international equity ETF with the 4% rule rather than a US fund such as VFV? If you were make an educated guess, do you believe using funds such as XEQT/VEXT and VAB/XBB instead of US funds would yield similar results as the 4% study over the longterm going forward?

Q: Good morning 5i
I am always interested in your strategy for options and the question about selling call options for Microsoft this morning raised some. I know that selling options can have many variables and will be context specific. And I realise that you cannot give a hard and fast set of rules. So, I hope you will bear with me on these questions. This morning you said that you would likely sell a call on msft going out a month for about $470. Today msft is at about $449. So, about a $20 difference. In previous posts you said that you would sell a call option just a few dollars above the price. I would take this to mean more like say $455 than $470. $20 represents about 5%. Is that what youwould see as a good point.?

Also on the idea of selling a put immediately upon exercise of the call. Would it be reasonable to sell both a call and a put at the same time and then if it was called away, then sell another put at $470?
Thanks

Q: What are your thoughts of AirBNB for the long term and it's current valuation?

Q: What are your thoughts on RE/MAX? I had initiated a position a couple years ago right before the class action losses and settlements related to the broker fees (so I'm down about 50%).

Most of their cash will be paid towards the settlements once the appeals are done, but it's already recorded as a payable so there shouldn't be a material impact to earnings once it's paid (although that cash will be gone).

Do you think now is a good time to add (assuming we get an eventual upturn in the cycle) or do you think new money is still better deployed elsewhere in the markets?
