RE:RE EPSCanadian banks are the most solid, though not the most profitable, investment on the TSX. Some tech companies, like CSU, do better. I hold BK mainly for its 15% yield, and take the swings in the principal in stride. I consider it more like a rental property where the real estate value is variable but rental income is steady. I used to make more money as an active investor but I lost a lot of money as well. As a retired senior I like the peace of my investment income instead of spending my time chasing the latest hot sector.
