Thanks!

Q: Hi group want to park some $ in high interest saving account I have 2 question's )
- How is the return calculated ( as an example PSA pays out dividend monthly monthly does that mean if i cash out in the middle of the month that i do not get a pro rated amount based on my balance. Could you explain how that works. is it a daily calculation payable at the end of the month or what.
- if i buy a US high interest account would that be a benefit for a higher return compared to buying a high interest Cad saving acct.
- could you provide some actual comparisons using real returns and currency numbers
thanks for your help with this.

Q: Trading volume is good. Yield is similar to other cash savings etf but this has an advantage when held in a taxable account because it does not pay distributions. However it is trading for approx 1.5% premium. If there was no premium, I would buy it for a 9 month hold but the premium is more than half the yield I can expect for 9 months. Am I right that in my situation, pick another cash savings etf? To pay a premium is not a good idea for a cash etf no matter how good it is? What do you think? Thank you!

Q: I'm looking for an ETF in the US Markets for a US Dollar Money Market Fund or equivalent with low fees. Could you recommend one or two very reputable ones?
Broadly, I came into some US dollars, and before I invest them, I'd like to put them into treasury equivalents for security until I invest into the broader market.
