Investment Q&A

Q: Hello Folks,
I see this monthly income fund has a mer of 1.39% if bought with CAN funds and 0.45% if bought with US funds. The symbol is PIM005 if bought with CAN$ or PIMIX if bought with US$.
Is this all correct? I have some room in my portfolio for fixed income and just received some US funds which I would like to deploy.
Thank you,
Rick

Q: Their guidance seemed very positive to me so I was surprised to see it down today. How was the update compared to street expectations? All still seems well for a continued hold? Compared to other mining companies this one seems to be valued well and pays a nice dividend.

Q: I was very interested in your reply to Cliff regarding 5 top dividend-paying companies. I am glad to say that I do have some of each but was a bit surprised to see MND in the list since it has only recently moved up from a long period of languishing. Could you please provide some background that supports your positive outlook. Thanks for your continuing great service. Bob.

Enghouse has not been doing well. Do you still like it for long term hold? Any idea why Brookfield Bussiness Partners is going up today? Also, does recent announcement of Brookfield raising $14 B for the Global infrastructure Fund refer to BGI.UN? If so, is it better to invest in BGI.UN or BIP. UN? Lastly, Telecom stocks are stable but the PEs are quite high. Can you shed some light please? Thanks

Q: This company doesn't appear in the drop down menu, for obvious reasons, since it's a US company. Notwithstanding that you do not cover the US, I've come to value 5I's opinion on all my stocks. What are your thoughts on Tenneco on the NYSE, symbol TEN? I'm considering it for a medium to long term hold as I'm intrigued, and hopeful of its premise re: providing clean air ride technology. It would seem to me it should be a no-brainer, given our environmental concerns. Do you agree ...or are there better ones in this space, either in the US or Canada? Thanks!
