Q: I currently hold mfc in my rrsp, down about 15% on it(less with div's). I am considering switching to slf as I am somewhat frustrated with mfc, however, I am thinking mfc will eventually get more value out of the us aquisition, asian expansion, and recent standard life addition transferred to the bottom line. it does seem to take forever with these guys as opposed to slf's performance. would you do the switch or give mfc more time. brokerage fees are not an issue

Q: Thanks for your quick response. If such is the case, with resources getting stronger coupled with energy regaining favour, one would only assume the Canadian Dollar will continue to strengthen. I sold half my position this am before the drop, should I consider dumping the other half.
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter, What are your thoughts on RSI as an income investment? From this point do you think it will probably have moderate growth? At the current dividend rate I would not expect an increase but would be content with the 7+ %. Thanks for all your advice.
