Right now? Probably nothing, in my opinion, I think market is going to go through a wild ride.

Some I’m invested in are GME, Suncor, Ensign. The other three I have I’m not even going to mention.

Foreign emerging markets is what I'm interested in at the moment. Not sure Id be investing too much in Canada with the way things are going here.

Not much interests me right now. Been dabbling in commodity futures, but that's about as good as going to the casino.

I'm kind of looking at oil drilling/service companies, at some point Natural Gas prices should bounce back increasing drilling activity, hoping there might be some higher revenues for some of them. Still haven't picked any yet though.
Dollarama is intriguing.

How many of them are dividend traps?
I don't feel trapped by any of them they have lots of volume everyday and i can bail out anytime
few are down 5% in value since purchased but i am still in the positive as far as performance if i had to sell tmr
there are some good companies outside of north america just have to search them

Cnq has always been interesting. I have coworkers that have paid off their houses on their ups and downs.

I'm no expert but I would bet that with the us election coming up you couldn't go wrong with energy as long as trump wins.....

I've pondered that too, but Trump also knows the US economy does better with cheap energy prices.

If anything, I've been wondering if he'd loosen restrictions on drilling in the Arctic.

yeah he does like to keep the prices down but a major part of his platform is "drill baby, drill" and all about energy independence. and even if he try to keep costs down in the US he will also increase export. I cant see it not being a net positive outcome
