Q: Hi Peter,
Regarding bond and US treasuries ETFs, if the ETF yield on my purchase date is 5%, would my annual interest income remain to be 5% as long as I hold the ETF, similar to my buying a bond with a yield to maturity of 5% and hold it to maturity? What are your top choices for 10 year US treasuries ETFs US listed, and Canadian listed and what’s their current yields? Thanks.

Q: Recently I asked a question on HBND. Could 5i give me a similar analysis on HPYT ? As well as comparison of the different structures between the two . The only one I am aware of is the 50% position of HBND that is not covered calls . Not sure what the situation is with HYPT ..... The yield on the two is considerably different with the former yielding 10% and the latter 15% ...... Please compare what you would suspect would happen differently with each under rising/stagnant/falling interest rates ?..... Thanks Garth

Q: I am looking for $US-denominated ETFs to hold within my RRSP/RRIF. I would be interested in both shorter and longer-term names. When I review the questions you have answered and the company's literature, it is not clear if the bonds pay US dollars or are simply US bonds bought in Canadian dollars.

I am assuming that any ETFs that fit my criteria would not result in US taxes being paid as long as they are held directly in my registered accounts. If this is not the case, please suggest ways to ensure no taxes are withheld at source.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: I have 1/2 positions in both RTX and LMT and was considering adding to one of them. Which one would you add to at this time? Alternately, do you have another suggestion for the industrials space that you like better than these two companies? thanks, J
