Q: Hi,

Can you offer your words of wisdom about this product. I don't see any questions this when I searched your archives. Came across this product some time ago when a guest on BNN mentioned this.

Is this a safe place to park my USD (iTrade allows me to hold USD) Are thee any other products that are similar and less expensive? It's MER is 0.12 according to Horizon's website.
Is this okay to hold them in both registered and non registered accounts? With the long anticipated pullback on its way, I thought parking cash in USD is a way to go. Plus USD seems to weakening and may be worthwhile to buys some now?

As always many thanks in advance.

Q: Telus is something I've been on the cusp of buying over the years but never pulled the trigger.

Is this a good time or is there some structural that is supporting such a high dividend? Is it the interest rate expectations that are causing Telus to go down so much?

Q: When lookking at the ROI over 3-5-10 years. The S&P has always done better than the others. When looking at the strength of their economy and the investment that US companies put in R&D how are they gonna loose their 1st position as a super economy power? and foremost and this is the question: Why invest elsewhere? Canada with merely 5% of the world economy? Europe has been lagging since I started investing 40 years ago where else? China? gotta be kidding. Seriously why spread our investments worldwide when the best is our neibours? Just buy the S&P and wait still forever.

Thanks

Q: -What are your thoughts on these money market funds. I'm looking for a place to park some cash and gain a yield for the short term.

Are they taxed as dividend income or interest?

Any thoughts on timing entry and exit?

Thanks
