Q: Greetings!
What is your take on Cominar's recent new plan. Does it warrant merit to my thought of switching some Alaris for Cominar in view of growth and dividend security.
Many thanks

Q: Hello 5i:
I can't get a 10 year history on this fund (am presently an owner), and would like to add to it. Can you advise, using opinion if that's all that's available, how this fund would have fared in the period between 2005 and 2010? I've tried using funds in the category, but it seems to regularly beat the category, so this may not be a valid comparison. If its a true high-yield fund, the performance in ANY volatile period should be disma. Can you comment please?
thanks

Q: When you buy an action with a dividende at a given rate, does the dividend payment you receive stay the same indepently from the variations in the price of the action ?
And, when you buy the same action again, but at a different price and at a different dividend rate, how do you calculate the actual dividend you are to receive ? For exemple,if I bought bip.un at 44. with a dividend rate of 4.40% and I buy it again at 54. with a dividend rate of 4.%, what is the effective combined dividend rate after the second purchase ?

Thank you for your kind attention,

Jacques
