Q: Now that I discovered that RBC has opened its direct investing accounts to high interest saving ETFs, I am interested in moving the cash portion of my portfolio. HSAV is interesting because of the capital gains tax advantage. However I noticed that it has been fairly volatile in the last few weeks - swinging by almost 1% in a single day. That is more volatility than I would’ve expected from an investment that primarily holds bank savings accounts that reprice daily. Is there something else going on here?

Q: I was interested in Stifel’s recent bullish long term forecast for commodities. Do you share in their enthusiasm, and can you suggest a favoured ETF and several preferred stocks in the sector. Thanks, Don
