Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi,
I apologize if this has been answered before. Occasionally I have temporary cash balances in my Canadian registered and unregistered investment accounts. However, my broker does not pay any interest on those balances. Do you have any recommendations for short-duration money-market or bond-style or alternative etf's that earn interest and either pay out or increase in value? My only objective, besides earning a return, is that the etf units should maintain their value and not be subject to declines due to credit, interest rate or other risks (understanding that there is no such thing as entirely risk-free).
Thanks,
Derek

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I realize you do not follow USA stocks. However you might be able to give a general comment. DSX just reported a good quarter and returned to profit for the first time in a very long time. The stock opened higher and then drifted lower and closed down over 5%. I am confused to the negative reaction. Is there anything on the wire? Your thoughts please!
Thank you...

Q: You guys hit a home run with GRUB and SPOT which had a recent downgrade but still put up big numbers. I was lucky enough to have taken your advice and bought both of them and am up 35% and 45% respectively in a short period of time. Do you think there is more room for them to run? Would you have a couple of others with a growth outlook like that? Thanks for the hot advice, Dennis
