Q: Hello I5 team.
I'm trying to find out what the MER is for this fund and if this 8.8% div yield looks sustainable. I know the fund has increased 40% recently, but is it prudent to buy now?
Thankyou for your input
Q: Merry Xmas to all ... if a fella was looking for a rather healthy dividend with minimal growth would you be worried about a small position in FTN. It just looks to good to be true. Am I missing something? TY.
Q: Hi 5I, I would appreciate your opinion of eit.un and rbn.un, is the div safe, would you recommend buying. Also, which of the oil stocks above would you recommend buying, perhaps you can suggest a better one with paying dividend. Many thanks, J.A.P. Burlington
Recognizing that CEF.A is about 60% gold and 40% silver, which do you prefer, 100% Central Fund splitting between Mint (MNT - gold) 60% and Mint (MNS - silver) 40% for bullion?
I want to know if its worth to invest in long term into cymbria of edgepoint (CYB). Its a good etf to have in a portfolio. I m looking for a ''berkshire'' canadian i want to possess the share for a minimum of 5 years.
Thank you for ur comments
Q: Hi 5I Research team.
I presently own OCS.UN which I believe is a closed end fund. Could you please explain what a closed end fund is? I have held this for about a year and a half and am under water with this fund. Recently the fund has been going up. It pays a 10% dividend which is great. Would you expect this fund to continue to go up. Is the fund tied to the interest rate and would it continue to go up if the interest rate goes up. Thanks for your help
Bob
Q: I am wondering of your opinion of edge hill hedge funds.looking for hands off growth and capital preservation.No one likes fees but if results are decent i am willing as not to watch the market daily and making emotional decisions
Q: Can you give me your opinion of the payout ration of the above, safety of the dividend in general and also the sensitivity to interest rate rises in the US? Is this a risky investment or fairly lowish in risk? I can find little information on its holdings but it pays a high dividend that has never been cut. Thanks.
Q: This stock has basically declined since inception. The current dividend is just over 9%. Is this sustainable for 2017 and onward? What is your opinion of the stock?
Q: Dividend 15 Split Corp. Preferred Shares DFN.PR.A has been rock steady for the last ten years or so (except for a plunge in '08-'09), paying 5%, while CPD and ZPR took a plunge starting in 2015. Why the steady performance of DFN.PR.A? How much would you recommend buying it? Thank you.
Q: Income Financial Trust pays a 12 per cent on its basket of financial holdings, and its share price is currently some 27 per cent over NAV. My question: its 2015 tax form indicates that almost all of its payout consists of return of capital. Does that mean that investors in INC.UN are just repaid their own money, and NAV will get reduced significantly over time?
Q:

Q: I am wondering if the general share price trajectory for this fund will basically follow high yield indices rather than equity indices? Can this be viewed as a kind of junk bond fund? How sensitive to a rise in interest rates would this be? Trying to understand how this will move in the future, thanks.
