Q: Hello Peter,

How would you trade the collapse of SVB? Banks and Financial companies are taking a hit. Is it time to buy? If yes, what would you prefer- BAC,MS, BX? Or none of the above.
Do you think there is a contagion risk here?
Regards.

Q: Am retired and looking for regular income from dividend paying stocks.
Is there such a thing as a EFT that holds only dividend producing stocks that then pays out the dividends on a regular basis? If so can you suggest any?

Q: I'm confused when looking at the value in bond funds going up when the talk in town is that the rates will continue moving up even in Canada maybe a bit later this year. How is that? How do one reconcile that the the rise in yield moved in tandem with the rise in value Thursday and Friday?

Q: With whats happening in the markets currently with CM's admission of mortgage issues with SIVB debacle, rising rates, volatility etc could be the beginning of a big mess in the Financial services sector.

Although long term you are bullish on 4 of the 5 names do you think it would be prudent from a risk aversion viewpoint to step aside on these names and wait till things settle?

Can you also please comment especially on EQB and GSY and their outlook/risks in this cyclone.

Thanks

Sheldon

Q: There are many questions and recommendations regarding safe places to put cash these days and US treasuries..

Risks investing in US TREASURIES

A question was asked the other day about UTWO. Part of your answer mentioned a 4.9% yield. Very appealing. Tempting to buy.

But as a holder of UTWO are you guaranteed your capital at the end of two years ?

I am under the impression they trade more like bond etfs vs GIC’S here in Canada.

Can you clarify that please.

And given the volatility of the market how risky are these T bills?

Is there a way to buy them and be guaranteed your capital at the end of the designated time period.

Thank you.

I am thinking they trade more like bond
