Q: Hi,
I'd like to get a better return on the Cash sitting in the Canadian Account. I don't want to lock it into GICs now as I would like the flexibility to use it until I get a better sense of where we're going with all of this. I looked at CASH.TO Global X High Interest Savings ETF and HSAV.TO Global X Cash Maximizer Corporate class ETF. Mgmt fees and MERs are lower on CASH and the yield is a bit higher but it has tax implications whereas HSAV has slightly better performance and deferred tax. Once our taxes are filed there may be a bit more contribution room left in the TFSAs but it won't be much.

Any opinions? Any thoughts on what I can do with the US Cash?

Thanks!

Q: Hello and appreciate all your insight. I have raised a fair amount of cash in my portfolio and was wondering what would be a safe way to invest it but still have immediate access to it if needed. I would like to have access to it for opportunities that arise but at the same time would like to earn something on it with very minimal risk in the current environment. Thoughts?

Thank you

Q: I need to hold cash for 1 yr (HSAV is interesting but it needs to avoid a significant premium vs NAV + yield is quite modest...) .Could you suggest 3 stocks + 3 ETFs with dividends and with a very favorable entry price at the present time,that would meet this objective and would offer "acceptable stability" in this volatile world politico- economic environment ? Hoping that this is not an "impossible question " to answer !
