Q: Both Tricon and Element Financial (EFN) are rated highly and the US 4TH quarter GDP was revised upward today but both stocks are hovering close to their 52 week lows. First, is a rising Canadian dollar a major headwind for these companies and second, are they over-rated by the seemingly glowing reviews they are assessed by the pros?
Which one would you prefer over a five year period?
Thank you.

Q: I like this site that another member suggested for info on short positions. https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=DH.TO The link takes you to Key Stats for DH but just enter the symbol in the box for any stock and moving averages is in the right hand box. Tons of info on this site. I use it regularly and find new stuff all the time.
Thanks

Together they are about 7% of my portfolio.

As always thanks..
