Q: Can you please recommend 3 bond ETFs that will provide in one year 10% yield including both dividends and capital appreciation?
Q: From an income perspective, could you provide your thoughts for a retiree, non-registered and % holding you may or may not be comfortable. I am somewhat hesitant on these high yielding CC ETFs because I can't help but think you are eventually eroding principal at some point because if the options are exercised you will lose the upside. thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team,
In a recent question by Kyle (July 15), you recommended ZSP. Any reason for choosing ZSP over the usual VFV? MER a drop higher for ZSP although liquidity looks better.

iShares S&P/TSX Capped Consumer Staples Index ETF (XST $62.66)
Q: 5i’s opinion of XST for a 5-yr hold in RESP?
I see its 5yr & 10yr returns are 10% & 12%, its 3 largest holdings (ATD, Loblaws, MRU) total about 60% of the fund, and it has 11 holdings.
I would basically purchase for diversification as opposed to buying the main holdings individually and paying commissions. Thank you.

Q: If we see interest rate cuts 2 or 3 times this year in the US, this should get the house building companies a real lift. What is your outlook for these stocks and are they a real buy now?

Thank you. Michael
