Thank you in advance.
Q: What are some best ETFs, Mutual Funds that is best to park temporary cash holdings? Preferably something that's safe (but not an interest-bearing savings account) with the expectation that it's better than holding actual cash and that I can sell easily to use within less than a year time-frame?

Q: I have a question about Corporate Bonds that are now deemed 'junk bonds'. Bombardier is one example.
1. Is the primary risk associated with the company going into insolvency?
2. Is there a risk, like Dividends, that the Yields on those bonds can be changed / amended later on?
3. What are your thoughts on corporate bonds like Bombardier? Are there any corporate bonds that you see as a good holding to have?
Q: What is your opinion of getting into investment grade corporate bonds at this time? Yields look particularly attractive compared to government bonds. Are there any that you would recommend?
Q: High yield funds have had a nice run up. Would you consider it too late or too risky to buy either of these funds at today’s prices? Wait for a drop?
Is there another etf that you could suggest in this area?
Q: Hello 5i and I hope you're well.
Under current conditions with interest rates, Feds and bank of Canada injecting so much money into the economy, would you recommend corporate bonds or T-bills ETFs. And, what terms: short/medium or long?
Thank you and be well!

Q: Are there Canadian equivalent to TIP and STIP. I don’t want to add to my risk by not being hedged. I’m looking for a way to protect against inflation at some point. Is there another way besides inflation protected bonds?
Thanks as always for your insight
Q: If I believe that there will debt problems before this is over , does one want to continue to hold HFR. I have held it for a couple of years but would sell it if things go down to add to stocks I like. A couple of weeks ago it went way down when market crashed. I read your answer to stay put as things were a little crazy in bond market. Is it the worry of the bond holders that the companies will go under and in fact this is not a real safe holding right now as I see 1|2 of it's holdings are BBB?
Q: Just comment in response to your statement today to Peter that government bonds held to maturity will never lose money - most government bonds trading today are trading at a premium. So if you buy at, say, $102, at maturity you will only get back $100. Loss of $2 (about 2%). This loss is accounted for in the yield-to-maturity, but is a loss nonetheless. Some of the current premiums are significantly higher than this.
Have I got this wrong?
Q: Hi Peter
What are the pros and cons of buying CLF vs actual laddered Govt bonds.
Seems CLF is easy to sell--but is there more risk in a down market?
Q: Dear sirs,
Looking for your insights into the outstanding debt of both company's, noting the large discounts in current pricing. Assuming I am comfortable with the volatility and can hold the debentures should one expect to receive par value on maturity
Thank you,
When it comes to bonds and interest rates I am like a deer in headlights. What would a negative interest rate scenario impact an etf like VSB and VSG or a longer term bond fund?
Thank you and stay safe!
Q: This Chorus Aviation debenture has dropped like a stone. Would this investment be at risk keeping the high indebtedness of the company in mind?
