Q: I have been trying to find a high yield bond fund for the last year, and was looking at zhy and xhy, and was shocked when I saw their 10 yr charts.
Can you explain why the dramatic share price decline from about June 2014, until about Sept. 2022.

Thanks

Q: There was an article in the Globe and Mail today by David Rosenberg about the aging population and he suggested health care related investments such as health care REITS, pharma, devices, and services. What do you think of this idea and can you give me a few recommendations in canada and the US for each of the 4 categories (health reits, pharma, devices, sefrvices)? A mix of ETFS and individual stocks would be great.

Q: I'm seeking to buy 3 or four ETFs that would give me stable dividend distributions in the 4% range with the possibility of capital appreciation yearly at about 10%. I also seek global diversification and I would like to pay for my investments in Canadian dollars. I am interested in return on capital not return of capital. Please advise if you have ETF's that you can suggest.

Q: Hi there. I am building up precious metal related positions in preparation for some tariff chaos the next couple quarters. I have SII, FSM, NGD and SBSW. I am wanting to accumulate more (5%) portfolio weighting and wondering if you can rank these in terms of which ones to add to in order of growth potential and being undervalued?

Thanks in advance! Kevin

Q: I own Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corporation and am considering adding more to my holdings.

As of June 4, the US raised the tariffs on steel coming into the US from 25% to 50%.
With the US administration's recent rate increase and their pattern of changing tariff rates on a whim, do you see this as a good time to own LIF?

I am looking at an investment horizon of 5+ years. If it is a good time to invest, at what price would a good entry point be? Thank you for your assistance.
