Q: Could you suggest 2 safer Canadian stocks to go with QSR, GSY and SLF to add to my grandsons RESP for a long term hold. Dividend would be nice but not necessary.

I'm down 20% on QSR so would you sell at this time to add to the others?

Q: Thank you for your very appreciated service.

My question is, how can an investment in financial services like SLF be bullish when bond rates go up. My understanding is that the value of the bonds held will decline in such a scenario so SLF's balance sheet will be negatively impacted as well. Enlighten me, how does SLF benefit from a rising interest rate environment?
