Q: Hi Peter and Team
My 35 year old has transferred his $5300 in RRSp account out of mutual funds. I would like your advice on whether the following is a good strategy to get some growth into this account.
I am considering XIC for half the money and the rest divided among TCN, SGY,and SYZ or DHX. Would you think this wise? or do you think 2 ETF's one US and one Canadaian and if so which ones? Thank-you

Q: Hi Peter

In an article recently written by Boyd Erman he painted a negative picture of the U.S. residential rental market.He mentions that early players in the rental market like Carrington Holdings were having problems finding tenants for their properties,and that the returns aren't there anymore,he also mentions Tricon in this aricle.If Tricon experiences the same problems how much would this impact their earnings and cash flow?
Thanks Gord

Q: TCN I am reading your report on them and under " Recent Financial Results " you state that they have a new share issue that dramatically increases the number of shares. In your Summary at the end of the report, you state that they are buying back their stock. Why would they have a new stock issue, and buy back their shares at the same time.

Just an aside, if you got rid of all that blue ( black if you are printing in black) on the side of the reports, it would save a lot of ink
