Q: Hello,
Which US ETF do you recommend to keep cash in USD. Safety being the first priority (US equivalent to PSA or CSAV in Canada). Thank you.

Q: Hi,
I'd like to get a better return on the Cash sitting in the Canadian Account. I don't want to lock it into GICs now as I would like the flexibility to use it until I get a better sense of where we're going with all of this. I looked at CASH.TO Global X High Interest Savings ETF and HSAV.TO Global X Cash Maximizer Corporate class ETF. Mgmt fees and MERs are lower on CASH and the yield is a bit higher but it has tax implications whereas HSAV has slightly better performance and deferred tax. Once our taxes are filed there may be a bit more contribution room left in the TFSAs but it won't be much.

Any opinions? Any thoughts on what I can do with the US Cash?

Thanks!
D

Q: I'm looking for an ETF in the US Markets for a US Dollar Money Market Fund or equivalent with low fees. Could you recommend one or two very reputable ones?

Broadly, I came into some US dollars, and before I invest them, I'd like to put them into treasury equivalents for security until I invest into the broader market.

Q: I often have a variable amount of cash in my USA trading account, while I am looking for trades. Which safe money market fund with a good dividend would you recommend that I can use for short term holds? For example for my Canadian funds I use CMNY, I can trade it like a stock using my TD account. I got that recommendation on BNN market call. It has been very useful. I would like a similar one for the USA. Thanks for all your great advice and service.
