Q: Good afternoon, I am realigning my RRSP account using geographic and asset type recommendations. The asset allocator recommends that 15% of my portfolio be in fixed income. Can you please recommend a few fixed-income ETFs? Also, should fixed-income holdings be mostly domestic or include international as well? Lastly, would you consider CASH.CA part of the fixed-income component of a portfolio or simply a place to keep cash until it is directed into another asset? Thank you in advance.

Q: Upstart looks to have had a good couple of weeks climbing from $25 to $40. In answers to previous questions, mention was made of a very high short interest at the time. Can I please ask for your usual insightful analysis for the recent Upstart quarterly results, and whether their recent stock price climb can be attributed to their recent performance and future prospects in a declining interest rate environment, or well speculation and short covering? Is the stock worth holding onto for a few more Quarters and see if they benefit from declining interest rates or if they catch another everything-AI wave, or take the cash and invest elsewhere? Thanks kindly.

Q: If you were looking to put on a gold trade at this time, would PHYS .TO be a good choice
It is up 38% in the past 52 weeks.
Do you see a good risk/ reward upside, in gold at this time? Or is it too late ?
Would you suggest another stock or ETF for gold exposure instead of PHYS.TO?

Q: Clarification, with respect to your answer re the guess for the next rate on these Debs. The way I understand it is as follows

The rate is calculated via 6.5 Pus or minus the rate of change in inflation, not the rate of inflation. Thus is the change of roi is 2% next march the interest rate on the debs would be 6,5-2=4.5

From csu ir news release:
This new interest rate is equal to the annual average percentage change in the “All-items Consumer Price Index” published by Statistics Canada during the 12 month period ending on December 31,

Q: In responding to a question regarding ZSML in Nov 2021 you stated "While volume is low, it has $351M in assets, and is likely quite profitable for the bank at that level." I see that, according to TDW, it now has $166.2M in assets. At this lower level would you still see it as profitable for the bank? Are the assets lower due to investors selling units? You have indicated recently that small caps could be coming into their own, so is ZSML a good option to add to my small caps at this time? Many thanks.
