Likes the idea of PSA. TLT, he believes, is a leveraged play on the bond market and wouldn't do that. BNS high interest savings, for example, pays 4.75% for optionality and no risk.
For an ETF filled with 1-year bonds that's very low risk, look at ZST.L. Pays a high dividend, though it's interest. Very competitive rate. If interest rates come down, you might even get a bit of capital appreciation.
E.T.F.'s
If you showed a graph, you would almost see a flat line. It doesn’t mean that the patient is dead. It is basically an ETF that holds Cash. Pays about 1%. If you are very tax sensitive and you don’t like premium bonds, but want a cash like exposure in an ETF form, this is a way to do it.
