Q: For my fixed income side of my portfolio I've just been keeping cash in a high interest savings account (Achieva Financial in Manitoba). It pays 2.3% interest. I just checked the yield to maturity of BND the US Vanguard bond ETF and it's 2.3%. The YTM for ZAG the Canadian BMO bond ETF is 2.2%. Hardly seems worth paying an MER and risking price fluctuations. What do you think, am I missing something here?

Q: I’m considering starting a 2% position in this company for a 10 year hold in my rrsp.

I like the space they’re in but it seems like they have a lot of debt and the dividend payout is >100% (according to yahoo). Is this accurate / concerning at this point?

I’d appreciate your thoughts.

Cheers

Also it shows they only have 50 employees. Do you see that as a risk in itself? If a competing company poached 3 or 4 employees that is a big hit to their workforce.

Q: As far as Canadian bank stocks are concerned, I don’t hear to much on National Bank. Given the state of the housing market and it’s home province being Quebec, I would think there mortgage portfolio should have good growth. Would this make NA a buy, of are there other factors in bank earning that are more paramount. If not NA, which bank would you recommend, or would you stay away from the banks for now.
