Q: Hello,markets are looking real good,i'am thinking Trump will need some good news shortly to keep it going?It looks like the establishment is circling.
VGG as a dividend ETF has a fairly low dividend, does it only rely on capital appreciation or a special dividend at year end?
Could you recommend a ETF along the same lines that pay 4-5% dividend,or stay with VGG.
Thanks,great work Brad

Q: Hello 5i,
I am glad to see that you are still answering questions about bonds and bond funds. I sent in a question the other day about BND, an American bond fund and was told that you don't deal with bonds. These questions are important to us, however.

Regarding the answer you gave to Fred on Feb 15, regarding this bond fund. You said that with distribution for this year, the fund is still under water, only slightly, though.

I continue to buy bonds but with trepidation these days. With such a question and such an answer, for instance, I am asking myself why I would buy a bond fund if I was going to lose even a bit of money? Wouldn't I be better in a high interest savings account?
thanks for the great service
