Q: Everyone seems to dislike bonds these days, especially long-term bonds. I was considering TLT for a portion of my portfolio, but I noticed a very poor return this year (4.7% one-year return), even though the Fed has clearly signaled rate cuts at the upcoming meetings. One explanation for the poor performance of treasuries is the oversupply of bonds. With U.S. debt ballooning, there seems to be fewer buyers. While, in theory, TLT's price should increase as rates go lower, I was reading that it may, in fact, remain flat and stuck in the sub-$100 range due to the oversupply. What are your thoughts on this?

Q: Can you please provide your opinion on what happens to floating rate funds as interest rates drop? Do you get a similar appreciation of the bonds with lower rates. I notice this fund is short duration so curious on your thoughts. YTD up 7% so a reasonable return but noticed in the short term with steeper drops it doesnt seem to perform as well.

Curious if a better play would be a longer duration fixed income fund?

Q: Do you think Nutrien's management has lost its way? It seems to be groping around for a strategy in South America, and is having a lot of top management turnover. Molson got badly burned in Brazil years ago because they didn't understand the Brazilian market; is the same thing happening to NTR?
