Can you please comment on the strengths and weaknesses of TIP - iShares Barclays TIPS Bond Fund (ETF). It seems to be performing well this year so far.
Is it a good substitute for buying and holding bonds directly in a self-managed bond ladder?
Q: SNC has been performing well since the last 5 months which is reflected in the recovery of the share price and seems to me it's just a matter of time before it gets to new highs. However, from your answers to the SNC questions that I've read you don't favor this name at all and prefer STN and WSP. Please explain your point of view given the stock performance to date. Thanks in advance.
Q: One more question regarding asset allocation in my RRIF-- how would you rate a 50/50 split of XBB and CBO as the bond component? Given all other factors remain the same. Thank you!
PS - loved the question "what makes 5i so great?"
You provide fabulous service and take some of the angst and mystery out of investing.
Q: As a long time holder of Superior, I was disappointed when they bid for Canexus, just when they were improving their debt situation. What is your opinion of SPB if the Canexus deal goes through, compared to if it doesn't. Which would be better for the company, long-term? Do you consider the dividend reasonably safe in either event?
Q: Peter, I am considering buying one of these ETF's. HXS is quite small vs XSP but it has had much returns over the past 5 years. I would have thought that the returns of both would have been quite similar as they are designed to track the S&P 500.
Q: Good day, please advise if Cascades is a good buy for a long term hold (5-7 years). Will be purchasing inside a diversified rsp and looking for a stable player in the "green" space. Any others you would recommend?
