Larry MacDonald submits:
If you get a quote for the iShares Canadian Short-Term Bond ETF from Yahoo Finance, GlobeInvestor, or some other financial website, it will show the annual yield as being close to 4%. That may seem strange because annual yields on individual short-term bonds are currently quoted at 1.5% to 2.5% per year.
