You should spend as much time as you can reading the financial reports of different Canroys. I like ERF, AAV, HTE, PGH & even american companies like TYY. I do not like to trade in and out of these. I'm holding them for the long term because i think 1. oil is only going up in the long term 2. the dollar is only going down don't put all your eggs in one basket. diversify to prevent against a catastrophic loss. For example, i bought pszmf.pk (QSR.UN on the Toronto Stock Exchange) - it owns 500 taco bell and other fast food franchises in Canada. I thought fast food is recession resistant. Unfortunately they hit some snags and the stock dropped 35%. Its crawling back and might probably be make me a profit in the future. I'm just glad I didn't have all my investments in it! Hi Tom,

1. oil is only going up in the long term
2. the dollar is only going down

don’t put all your eggs in one basket. diversify to prevent against a catastrophic loss. For example, i bought pszmf.pk (QSR.UN on the Toronto Stock Exchange) – it owns 500 taco bell and other fast food franchises in Canada. I thought fast food is recession resistant.

Briefly, I am old,57 disabled (work related fall)I collect SSDI and a pension which totals out to $40,000 a year.I can live on it, I am single too. I end up in a low tax bracket, would it make sense to invest in Canadian Royalty Trusts? I know they are taxed 15% in Canada. But since I don't itemize my taxes I can't get the tax credit write off. At least that is what I figure. If you know away to figure if this would be profitable for me, please let me know. I chose to ask you because I sense you will have some sort of answer and I don't know who else to ask. Thanks, Good luck and update your blog. You seem to be a smart guy, I’m not.

If I choose to see the negative side, then I can cite little higher volatility at 21 and high annual turnover at 333 .. Also little higher expense ratio, but that might be coming from the foreign funds .. Nidhi Performance has been great for CGMFX.
