Q: I would like to park some cash in CBO.
Would not the CBO ETF value go down when interest rates increase as I believe they will in the first quarter of 2015?
Net return could be minimal or less going forward during this 6 month time frame.

Q: Hello,
This is kind of a follow up of a previous question. In my RRSP I have the following ETFs: ZRE, XRB, VBK, VCN, VDY, VXUS and XSB.
I would like to replace XSB (around 30K) with something that provides more growth. I was thinking an energy basket, either an ETF or 2-4 energy (related) stocks.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you
Marios

Q: Hi Peter & team. I would like your views on RON.PR.A. I realize that the company has been struggling for the past few years, which may explain the price of these preferred shares. I like the fact that it is a reset type. Do you think it represents good value? Do you think it is too risky in a well diversified portfolio, where the weighting would be less than 2% overall? My other preferred holdings are HPR, EQB.PR.A and CF.PR.A. Thanks again.

Q: With respect to the Floating Rate Bond ETF (HFR) that has been recommended, according to the linked statement, the total expenses associated with the operation of the fund were 1.41% in the latest period, a figure that seems awfully high for a product with an advertised yield of just over 2% - with ETF'S, it's not sufficient to simply look at the MER since total costs can be substantially above the advertised MER
If one is concerned about the impact of rising rates on a interest product, would a ladder of gic's not be more appropriate, especially given they have no management expenses to water down the return

Q: ENB
I read recently that Enbridge uses most of it's cash flow to pay out the dividends and then issues shares to finance it's new projects and it has been doing this for a number of years.
Is this not a "mugs" game?
Thanks.
