You have a lot of split share and covered call funds; hard to evaluate portfolio risk; some funds are too recent to make any calculation…In general it is a good research and usefull.

Hello…I have reviewed the package and have enjoyed your information and portfolio reccommendations. One area of suggestion to really beef up the content and analysis is how to compare one fund against another by analyzing the fundamentals such as p/e, roa, mer, etc. I have my own tool that I use to analyze these numbers so when choosing one fund over another I can see who carries more debt or has better performance. You have developed a good tool but an annex that describes what is a covered call versus a split fund versus a closed fund would make a nice reference tool. Please continue to expand and improve the package as it is great for a beginner. I will continue to follow you on YouTube and would be more than happy to pay extra for a more robust tool. All this takes time and effort but as you grow your legitimacy with a more knowledgeable audience will expand. Good luck and keep up the great work.

Thanks for the feedback Gerard. In depth analysis is not something I do or feel is necessary for a Passive, BUY and HOLD Income-Focused Investor. I don’t do that and I do just fine. That is more for individual stocks, which is not what my strategy is about. In fact, I suggest to avoid single companies altogether.
I have a video that showcases the product from A-Z, so you should have watched it before purchasing the product if this is what you were expecting.
Regarding your comments about an Annex section that describes Covered Calls, SPLIT Funds etc., that’s a good idea but note that I already have videos on my YouTube channel that covers that in detail.

Hi Guys,
I have mixed feelings on the Ultimate DIY package.
First off, let me say that personally, I really didn’t mind paying $60 for the product. I feel that your youtube videos and companion website / Facebook group provides so much free content, the $60 fee seems insignificant. In other words, the $60 is more than a fair cost for everything I learned.
A SINGLE score rating is difficult for me: there are aspects which are great such as the ETF/Closed-End Fund/Split Share listings which would warrant a 4-5.
Where is the HYLD or HDIV/F? I assume these funds weren’t available when this version was done. This is my biggest quibble and I’m wondering if not being up-to-date would warrant a low score. A year between versions might be a stretch. I don’t know what effort goes into creating or maintaining this package, but perhaps updating more often – maybe version 3.1, 3,2 etc?
For me, I used the package along with your recent portfolio reveal downloads. These two items helped me build my new PII portfolio (thank you!).
I would recommend it to others looking to build a portfolio, but I’d recommend it as a PART of a larger system: the videos, the website, the Facebook group.

Hi Chad, Yes some of the newer Funds are not in this version but will of course be added to version 4, which will come out shortly. There was a delay for the new Version due to our BUSY Panama move. My plan is to update it annually at the very latest going forward
