Q: Hi,

Your answer today on BKCC & BKCL prompted me to compare BKCC with Blackrock BKCL both of which have high dividends….and I still look for sustainable dividends and some growth. As 5i pointed out with BkCC ( usa) it “ tends” to pay a consistent dividend….BUT the share value has dropped from over $16 to about $3.70 today.

1. What is your best guess on the fate of Horizon’s BKCC over the next 5 years?

2. Given that Canadian banks pay consistent dividends and decent dividends….
again best guess…. would buying BNS, CMO, TD, RY, BMO be more likely to provide a better payoff over the same 5 year period.

Thanks.

Q: I understand that BKCL is a fund of funds having only BKCC as a holding using covered call strategy with some leverage with a higher yield than BKCC. BKCC is a covered call with no leverage. I am a 77 year old with a diversified value portfolio of individual stocks and ETF's with about 17% of the portfolio in covered call ETF's. I have many of the ETF holdings as individual stocks, blue chips, for the dividends and gains. Please suggest which would be the preferred way to go, BKCL or BKCC.

Q: I have a no. of ETFs with OPTIONS on its 30% approx applied to generate extra income. Naturally it is higher risk/reward but I can not find how to access monthly (or annual) reports on Div income, Options gain/loss or dilution of Equity. Specially Equity dilution is a concern and I wonder if they can avoid informing shareholders such important information.
