Do you have an issue with either of the following bonds?

Ford Credit - due May 8,2023 YTM of 5.167%
Brookflield Properties Corp July 3,2013 - YTM 4.199 %
I see Brookfield Asset Management bond ( 2023 ) has a YTM of 3.615%. Any reason for the difference in yield?
Thank you

Q: ZDY.U is thinly traded, so shares must be bought/sold carefully. Looking at this security under your 'Companies' tab, I see that at the time of this writing, there is a bid of 23.25 x 22000 while the current market price is 23.27. If I put in a sell order at 23.25 at that very instant for less than 22000 shares, is it likely that the order would get filled and my shares would sell at 23.25? Thank you.

Q: Could you please explain the process of and the reasons , including pros/cons, for the ENGH stock split that was announced later in December. What actually is going to happen - I don't understand exactly what they mean by doing it by way of paying a dividend ? Isn't a stock split usually done to increase the number of shares available .
I hold the stock and have been very happy with its performance but find this confusing and am not sure what I will end up with.
Many thanks, as always.

Q: At current levels this ETF is down ~21% from highs set in January 2018. With a ~4% yield and 18B in net assets would you see the current levels as attractive to begin to step into the ETF? In your opinion is brexit already priced into this ETF, or would expect more downside should brexit go through? Your thoughts on the opposite scenario where Britain remains in the EU would also be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: My daughter TFSA contains the above stocks. She can add 1 (full position) or 2 (half position) this year. What would be a good fit for her present holdings? Would you suggest selling Stella Jones &/or Telus and replacing it with something else? She has a long time frame as she will not need the money in the foreseeable future.
