Q: Good morning,
I have a few questions on bond etf's:
Could you please offer your feedback on bond etf's and specifcially XSB, both as a long term holding in the current environment as well as a place to park cash that may be needed over the next 6 to 12 months.

Also, any feedback on XCB and XGB would also be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Brad

Q: Hello,

I have a question regarding Loyalist, (LOY). Yesterday they granted
options under its stock option plan to purchase an aggregate of 3.8M common shares at an exercise price of $0.50.

I'm not familiar with options so I"m not sure what this means. Does this act as signal to buy or sell.

Thank you so much.

Q: CXS is down 5.75% today. Any reason? The only "news" I see is a neutral report by Thomson Reuters. Stockhase.com recently shows only positive comments by analysts.

Q: Hi

Today, the investment and company questions section is not working properly. On the most recent setting, I have one or two for Oct 25 and then it quickly shows scrambled dates. Is this just me, or is it a system problem.

Thanks for you help. I use your site daily and really appreciate the timely and quality information you provide

Thanks again!
