Q: Could you suggest a global bond ETF in Canadian dollars? Thanks

Q: To own one ETF for Bond allocation, would you prefer Purpose Global Bond Fund (BND) or Vanguard Total Bond Fund (BND:US) ?

Thanks

Dave

Q: What are thoughts on bonds to balance a portfolio? I realize most are not enthusiastic about these right now, but I like to have a bit of them based on what I am used to. Are these a good buy now since they seem to have bottomed, or with interest rates the way they are, should I stay away?

There is also a lot of talk out there of stock market bubble right now so I thought this could protect the portfolio to some degree. I am new and appreciate your thoughts on what you would do here. Thank you
