Thanks for mentioning [Vanguard short-term corporate bond ETF] in your reply to Claire on Aug 31.
The yield is only 2.2% with not much growth, but the slow and steady uptrend is a thing of beauty! I have started a position.

Q: I currently hold a significant amount of U.S. cash in my US dollar RSP. With the latest
surge in the Canadian dollar vs the US dollar can you recommend any strategy that can
offset further decreases in the value of my holdings in Canadian dollar terms in the short or medium term? I am 71 this year and I will have to convert to a RIF by the end of this year. Given the current geopolitical environment and extreme weather in the southern US the likelihood of any US dollar appreciation or strength appears dim in the near term. Would holding gold or gold producers help to hedge my US position?
Thank you for your advice.

Q: Why is Winpak taking such a nosedive today?
Q: The book value of Dollarama is negative $0.52 and the stock price is $133.67 This gives a huge price to book of negative $257
Why does this huge negative price to book not matter. I always thought price to book value was an important financial ratio.
