Pumpkin season is upon us. The squash is being squeezed into morning lattes and put into Thanksgiving pies. Eventually its flesh will be mercilessly carved up for the pleasure of the sugar-starved monsters who roam the streets on Halloween. It’s a frightening time to be a pumpkin.
It’s also a scary one for investors who’ve been spooked by the market’s wild gyrations and are wondering which way it’ll go next. Resource stocks have fallen precipitously and more than a few blue-chip companies have followed them down.
This year’s MoneySense Retirement 100 will help guide you through the graveyard of energy stocks, past haunted mining firms, and to the best income stocks Canada has to offer. In it we grade the largest dividend-payers in the land and provide a wealth of facts and figures on each one…
