Q: As STIP and TIP have ceased to pay their previously excellent distributions, I have been looking for alternatives with similar distribution, diversification and volatility characteristics. XHY seems a valid choice; however, can you comment/provide alternatives? Thanks.

Q: In the current bond market environment with raising interest rates how money markets funds will behave? Will they also increase to some degree? What is your opinion? I switched my bonds assets to money market funds when the bonds were tanking and this move stabilized the fixed asset part of my portfolio.
Thank you

Can you suggest any Canadian companies or an ETF that may benefit from this.

Q: Can you please tell me a bit more about ZDV, especially about the rule-based methodology including minimum 3-year dividend growth, pay out ratios and yield (read this in the G&M)? ZDV has more financials - is this a good time to hold more Bank stocks? Would ZDV be a good compliment to CDZ that I already hold?
Thanks!

Q: Good morning team. I am considering "parking" some funds in a high interest savings account fund, such as HIRA-NE. From what I read, it is directly correlated to the bank of Canada rate and it happens in real time. Does it offer the same level of preservation of capital as a GIC and is the capital protected? Is this a safe place to park funds over the $100,000 threshold?

Much appreciated
