BUY

This on bonds up to 5 years to maturity. If you are concerned that the sub prime mortgage mess will continue to expand, this is a great place to be. Not sure the sub prime is going to extend that much into the market.

COMMENT

He doesn't think interest rates are going much higher. This particular fund has already had its pound of flesh taken out of it. Can’t see any significant risk here.

BUY

The most efficient way to invest in the corporate bond market. MER is very low. This gives you a basket of bonds.

TOP PICK

As protection in case the Canadian equity market starts to roll over. He will buy in this money market fund, and make his 4% return and sit there until next September of next year when he will be lined up for another seasonal trade. (Buy when it snows, sell when it goes).

TOP PICK

Bond ETF. Basically a short term note. Expecting the market to have problems going into the 2nd half of this year, so he wants something that is stable. Basically gives you 4% yield while the market is rocky.

BUY

A basket of bonds, but instead of paying high MERs or transaction costs this is an index-like product. If you are not buying bonds specifically, this is a very cheap way to get into the bond market.

BUY

A passive strategy that doesn't cost that much. Very efficient from the bond market prospective.

BUY

Laddering iUnits Short Bond Index (XSB-T), iUnits Canadian Bond Market (XBB-T) and iUnits Real Return Bond (XRB-T) is an effective strategy. Low fees.

DON'T BUY

Believes the Bank Of Canada is going to raise interest rates so thinks the outperforms will come in at the longer end of the bond curve.
