Q: It seems that Japan's economy is in trouble and that we should all be taking note. The Japanese are the largest foreign holder of US Treasuries . If they start selling those Treasuries what impact would that have on the US economy and on the rest of the world ? There is an article in the Financial Post this morning entitled "Japan's Bond Market is flashing Red" Why investors should pay attention. Your comments would be most appreciated.

Q: Hi,
I have been holding Carrier, waiting for the quarterly results to take decision about holding it longer. On the surface the results look good. However the market does not like them.
What is your assessment of the results? It is not my core holding. Should I give it some time or deploy the proceeds elsewhere? I would like your opinion.
Regards.

Q: I want to warn the world of the CRA's plan to tax people "to death" . We were all seduced into avoiding taxation through contributing to our RRSP. Now at retirement it has grown into a substantial tax liability.

My RIFF just keeps on growing every year .
I can't even give my RIFF to charity without it being taxed as income. "Gambling" on high risk Ai stocks has resulted in massive gains with a higher taxable drawdown .

Is there anything people can do ? It's like being in a taxi going the wrong way through a very long tunnel .

Q: I was under the impression this ETF didn't pay distributions. Though actually, it does say on its site that it pays them annually. It just doesn't give any idea how much that might be. On my TD Webroker account, though, under projected income it has $2,381.86 for my 290 shares of DXG. That suggests a distribution of over 10%, which I find HIGHLY unlikely given the nature of its underlying holdings. Could you please clear this up for me?
