Q: I've got excess cash in my RRSP, waiting to be deployed in the event of a downturn. I'm thinking of converting some of it to bonds while I wait, so as to earn a bit more than a high interest savings account can offer. I was wondering if you could recommend a few ETFs for that purpose. The ideal bond ETFs would be safe, rapidly deployable to cash, with a decent yield and likely to become more attractive investments themselves in the event of a downturn. Thanks for any suggestions. If you could add a short note about what would be the main risk to those ETFs, I'd appreciate it.
Q: As I type this question, "ask size" is about ten times greater than "bid size" on very light volume. This goes on most of the day, every day, with volume settling at end of day around 100,000.
Is there anything significant in this type of bid/ask action - are there positive/negative implications?
Thanks.

Q: My wife's adviser is recommending the following mutual fund for her RRSP. Could I get your opinion on the Edgepoint Global portfolio Mutual fund. Fund code- EDG100. MER around 2.13% about 6 billion under management- past returns have been strong. I am always cautious when I see such high MER's. Do you think this is a good one fund solution, if you went with ETF's instead of this mutual fund which ones would you recommend?
Thank you!
