Q: Thanks for answering my question regarding Premum/Discount for TCSH canadian money market ETF. In your answer you stated "Indicated Yield" of 2.63%. I looked at the TD web site and could not find this metric. Can you tell me where I can find this important metric as well as help explain what "Indicated Yield" means? TD only provides current yield to maturity on their web site. Many thanks.

Q: TCSH ETF is classified as a money market product. I understand that the NAV will usually increase until the monthly distribution near the end of the month. What I don't understand is why this ETF always seems to trade at a price much higher than the actual NAV. I thought all money market ETF's would trade very close to NAV price.

Q: Is it advisable to sell HBND for a tax loss (down 13%) before year end?
If inflation looms or bond vigilantes are at work, long-term bond yields could go up from here.
Appreciate your thoughts

iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF (SGOV $100.56)
Q: Is this a good ETF to park some cash for a one year period or do you have a better alternative with roughly the same dividend? Thanks
Q: This ETF has been in a steady decline since I bought it some 18 months ago and I now have a 16 % loss in my RRIF. Please discuss the dynamics of this etf so that I may make an informed decision as to hold or sell. I do like the income and the high yield ,( but unfortunately the yield keeps going higher !). Thanks. Derek.
Q: What’s the safest investment?
Q: Hello, what do you think of something like VCSH to add to a fixed income portfolio that already owns US treasuries ? I am looking for stability with a bit of yield that will stabilize things. I am almost 60 and would like to take some risk off the table ? I am open to alternatives that are not specifically tied to the US govt.
Q: I am a 70 year-old value investor that is reluctant to invest further in what I believe is an over-valued market. Our new portfolio manager is recommending "Index deposit notes" offered by major Canadian banks. Can you please tell me more about these market-linked term deposits? I would prefer to wait for a market correction and then invest in equities, but the portfolio manager feels the market could continue to rise over the next few years. I am of the opinion we are looking at a significant recession in 2026.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Q: Please provide an analysis of the recent issuing of debt by GOOG. They have $100 billion of cash on the balance sheet and oodles of FCF. Feels like they shouldn't need to issue this debt. Do you feel it is a good move or is it concerning in any way?

HIGH INTEREST SAVINGS ACCOUNT FUND (HISA)
Q: I am looking at fixed income potential across sectors as a low risk offset to my equities and would appreciate your recommendations. It doesn’t look like the space has good future prospects overall with rates having just dropped.
Of notable options, high interest saving accounts, bond funds, utilities, dividend index’s and perhaps reits, the reits and dividend indexes have superior yields.
Could you please comment on the space overall, which sectors are advisable and possible suggestions for purchase please?

Q: The mag 7 have been issuing bonds to pay for their AI.
Are these a good buy? Are they available to retail investors? Are there easy ways to buy them? An etf perhaps?

Q: Greetings 5i,
I feel interest rates will be falling in the USA through next year. I am considering some bond plays that would provide some returns over this time. Can you elaborate on pros and cons of a position in TMF - Direxion Daily 20+ Year Treasury Bull 3X Shares.
Is there decay? What would it look like? What is the yield?
For an investor who feels a dovish fed will push down interest rates in the near future, are there any other strategies or products you would be interested elaborating on?
Cheers!

Q: Hello Peter,
I hold CSU debentures in my income portfolio at a cost of 133 which are trading about 10% below my cost.
Would you prefer to hold them over the top 10 equities in the income portfolio? I generally prefer to have income investments with at least 3% dividend and a 3% growth above and over inflation.
Your comments are appreciated.
Regards
Rajiv

Global X Mid-Term Government Bond Premium Yield ETF (PAYM $18.67)
Q: I have a GIC maturing shortly in my RIF. Would like to keep the funds in some type of income/reasonably secure investment, but am having trouble accepting current GIC rates. I have been looking at ZAG, but admit that PAYM has also caught my eye. Could you compare these two and comment on your preference and why (other suggestions are welcome). Also, any comment on where interest rates might be heading over the next or so.
Thank-you

Q: Why do you think the USA is offering double the rate on fixed income government bonds as Canada is?
