Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: One is an ETF while the other used covered calls to enhance dividends. Can you tell me what real difference there is between them aside from the 5% vs 10%+ div. I was thinking of buying XDIV but several of its holdings are the same as DFN which I own. Any point in also owning XDIV?
Thanks very much.

Q: DFN, the high-dividend split share fund that people sometimes ask about, has missed its first dividend since its inception in 2004. It even paid the monthly dividend throughout 2008-09. I see the share price is up this morning. I don't think people realize they will not receive the dividend and that it could be many months or even years before the dividend returns.

Q: Would you please give me your current opinion of this stock. The price seems to have stayed in a trading range of $ 8.30 - 8.90 this year, much lower than previous years. However, it still continues to pay the high dividend & has done now for some 15 years or so.

Even with the decline in price it still has a good overall yield.

EIT is another high yield stock. What do you think of it.

Thanks

Q: I have owned this fund for a few years now and enjoy the high percent payout but am concerned as the price I payed is considerablely higher than the present price. are the overnight offerings diluting the funds or is this because the banks are lower right now or perhaps both? some of my costs were over $12.00 a share so is this a good time to cut my losses? Thankx for your great service. gord
