RE:My father gave me $500,000Not at the present time. With NAFTA negotiations taking place it might be prudent to keep it in GIC's for the time being. Then when you think the market is changing I would look at this stock, Telus, Fortis, and the big 5 Banks. Look at the dividends, and P/E ratio's and countries entities markets are in. ie Canada, USA, South America. I would also look at Teck.B, MFC, SLF, Trans Alta, to name a few more. Diversify, doing put your eggs in once basket.
The choice is yours. Good Luck!!
