Q: Can you please help me to understand how safe money market funds are in “black swan” event like 2008? My broker often parks funds in money markets in a Cash account. Is there ever a danger of funds being lost, or simply a potential liquidity issue for a very short time? Are there any CDIC type guarantees up to a certain dollar amount per account?

Q: Do you think it worthwhile to buy both of these holdings (i.e. 3-4% each in an otherwise reasonably well-diversified portfolio) for the sake of making the best use of their respective growth/dividend potential? Their high degree of correlation seems the one factor mitigating against this strategy.

Q: I have some cash in a non-registered account that I will need access to sometime in the next 6-18 months. Given the indeterminate timeline I'm reluctant to lock the funds up in a GIC or term deposit and am looking to put them into a HISA ETF. Aside from slight differences in yield, MER or AUM are there any significant differences between the various HISA ETF's available and which one would you see as preferable? Thanks.

Q: I have some cash (in a non-registered account) that I will need to have access to sometime over the next six to eighteen months and am looking for somewhere to park it until needed. Because of the indeterminate timeframe I want to stay away from locking the funds in to a GIC or term deposit. Aside from slight differences in yield, MER and/or AUM are there any significant differences between the different high interest savings account ETF offerings and which would you suggest? Thanks.

Curious if you have suggestions for investing in Japan? We have been hearing more about the theme that Japan is in the begins of a bull market.

Q: Hello 5i
We currently hold CBO, CLF & XRB at 25/25/50% all as long term holdings in a slight loss position. I believe we are currently at (or very near) peak interest rates. Do you have any suggestions to bond replacements that might be better positioned to capture rate reductions for these holdings. (not accounting for the bonus of tax loss selling)
Again many thanks
Les

Q: I am looking to add exposure to Canadian Banks. Given current pricing it seems like a good time to add exposure. Can you rank your favourite banks at this time. Do you have a preferred Bank ETF that could also provide good Canadain Banking exposure.

Thanks
