Q: Just a comment. When I search questions on HUT (HUT8 the bitcoin minor). The horizons etf comes up instead. I think you might need to differentiate the symbols on these two.

Q: I currently owned both CM , TD and ZBK in a non rrsp account. I would like to sell CM. My total % holding in ZBK and TD are quite low . If I buy ZBK I still maintain the financial allocation but increase my US holding. I know I would lose the dividend that CM pay as ZBK is quite low, or would it be better to buy more TD and increase the weight of this stock.

Thanks

Q: As I mentioned earlier I have held 1800 units PSB in a corporate account since 2013 - 6 years. I failed to mention that I am paying management fees of 1%. I require a fixed income fund for this portfolio. Would appreciate any suggestions you have. Does this fund have a MER?

Q: What do you think of a 5-year ladder of RBC Target Date bond ETF’s (RQG through RQK) for the fixed income component of Canadian RRSP’s and RRIF’s?

Also, for a $US RRSP or RRIF I am considering Invesco Senior Loan ETF (BKLN) and Highland/iBoxx Senior Load ETF (SNLN). I am aware that the NAV of these funds can be volatile, and that they may be considered somewhere between corporate bonds and high-yield bonds on the risk spectrum, but I would be buying them for the yield.

I appreciate your response.

Q: i currently hold rsp and voo in my rif account. Is this too much of an overlap and should I consolidate or just keep them as they are? If I keep them as they are and am planning to add more money which one should it be? I know that you have often mentionned that you like a market weighted approach. Thanks for a wonderful service

Q: I am bit lost with bond market performance. XLB NAV has gone up by 10% YTD. TLT also up by 10%. As bond yields go up with interest rate peaking the price will come down. Will the total return still be significant if the NAV comes down by 10% or more in next several years. My experience with some of the other bond funds I held previously generated negative total returns after holding them for many years.

Thanks
