Q: An article in the Fin Post calls Marketaxess the undisputed champion in the S&P financial index for the last decade. Your only comment on this company was in March,2018. The company appeared to have done very well up till then. The CEO was even interviewed that year by Crammer on his show. As I understood that interview, MKTX is sensitive to interest rates, yet it continues to rise in value in this low interest environment. Do you think MKTX is a safe way to have "bond" exposure? Belated season's greetings. Lionel

Q: I have two small positions in CSH.UN (1.3%) and SIS (1.0%), and I wanted to consolidate the invested capital into one holding.
