Q: Good morning all.
I just heard of this quite new(mid 2011)fund TLF.UN and am wondering what sort of option this fund would be for following the tech sector in the US via the TSX. A Brompton Fund at (http://www.bromptongroup.com/funds/fund/tlf/overview) it pays a nice distribution and has a mgmt fee of 0.75 but I expect the MER is higher. It looks like it is holding 16 positions and is fairly active writing covered calls to boost returns. Does 5i have any knowledge of, insights on or opinions about this fund and would something like QQQX or other be a better vehicle for following the US tech sector? TLF is small and probably not that liquid.
Thank you again for your wonderful service and support!

For an investor looking for long term stability, some growth and dividend income, would this be a good stock to own.
Also, would a basket of stocks bgi.un, wte and snc lavalin make good investing sense.

Thank you, yet again, for all your help.

Q: re Income financial INC.UN this dog has been around for over 10 years it came out at $25.00 .It was to invest in financials and write covered calls It Has Dropped from $25.00 to $9.40. They are asking shareholders to prolong the agony letting them continue for another 5 years yes you have received your original money back which means you have made less than one percent per year. if you would just have bought the banks outright your return would have been over 100%.. Yet they have the nerve to state that they made 15% last year but not on the $25.00 face but after in sank to close to $800.00 VOTE AGAINST GIVING THEM THE RIGHT TO RENEW GET YOUR MONEY BACK AS OF DEC. 31st VOTE NO george
