Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: What grade (A,B,C,D,E) would you give to each of the management teams at NFI and GEI. Is there a site that reports on or assesses management effectiveness, performance, track record etc? After all we're essentially investing our money with them when we purchase equities. Is this a feature you would consider adding to the 5i report card?

Q: Hi Guys,
I'm looking to put together a 5 year bond ladder through my discount brokerage, this is purely for downside protection, I would want to draw on the money if there was an extended downturn in the market to avoid having to sell positions mainly in dividend stocks that I'm holding for the long haul. My question is it worth building a ladder myself, or should I buy ETF's, with different approaches i.e. government or corporate bonds, do you have and suggestions for a one stop shop approach, my original thought was 50k spread over a 5yr ladder.
Best Regards,
Tom
