Q: Hi there
I am looking to invest 30% of my TFSA portfolio in a bond ETF . The remaining 70% are in dividend stocks (mainly in financial institutions). Would you please suggest what bonds ETF or any other fixed income option should I be considering? The goal is to protect my principal amount.
Thank you

Q: Have you looked at Liberty Defense Holdings (SCAN)? It is only $30mln market cap and beta testing an interesting security technology. While highly speculative I would assume, is it worth deploying some "speculative" money to?
Thanks.
