Stocks of Interest

Stocks of Interest

At my age I've decided to tilt my retirement portfolio towards income stocks as the Canadian Government will soon force me to withdraw money from my RRSP on an annual basis. However I enjoy investing in the stock market so much that I like to keep my hand in the game so to speak. So here I've decided to list some stocks I find may make interesting growth opportunities in both the Canadian and the U.S. markets. Keep in mind the stocks listed below are not meant to be recommendations. You would have to do your own work there (value, fundamentals, etc...). It's just a way for me to keep track of things...
