Investment Q&A

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

Q: Peter and team:

I initiated a speculative position in TV when you brought it to members attention a while ago. I am now down 50 %. What are your current thoughts on the zinc market over the next year or so. Would you continue to hold or cut losses now.
Interesting to note TECK.B has been doing OK as of late. I suppose that is because in addition to zinc they are a much more diversified mining company.

Thanks as always for you terrific site.

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...
