Q: Now that I discovered that RBC has opened its direct investing accounts to high interest saving ETFs, I am interested in moving the cash portion of my portfolio. HSAV is interesting because of the capital gains tax advantage. However I noticed that it has been fairly volatile in the last few weeks - swinging by almost 1% in a single day. That is more volatility than I would’ve expected from an investment that primarily holds bank savings accounts that reprice daily. Is there something else going on here?

Q: Do you like this security for a 10% forward yield and eligible for dividend tax credit? I understand it has recently reset to pay $0.15 per month ($1.80 annually). Only in February 2022 it was paying $.05 per month explained by the rapid increase in BOC rates. Is this a financial problem for BCE? I believe it is redeemable by BCE at $25.
