A comforting and delicious meal to launch our Fresh For Foodies events! Our kitchen team uses fresh chuck roasts and then hand-grinds the beef in-house before adding a light seasoning for taste and rich flavor. Homemade mushroom sauce is made with sherry, adding a distinct flavor. Mashed potatoes feature cream and butter, whipped to fluffy perfection and paired with a mixture of vegetables.

- COVERED CALL STRATEGIES
With High-Interest Savings accounts now paying 5.3 %, about the same as a 1-year GIC, retired investors are always asking what is the market risk compensation for still being in the markets , especially if the purpose of your investments is to provide retirement income.
Enter cover call strategies.
A covered call dividend strategy for enhanced income in ETF or mutual fund format is a specific type of fund that employs a covered options strategy to generate income for investors while holding a diversified portfolio of dividend-paying stocks. A typical Covered Cal strategy pays 7 to 10 % of investment income, with an average around 8 % ( before investment management fees from the Financial or Investment Advisor) at the time of writing. Some pay higher, but with less potential capital gains appreciation.
