Mike Philbrick iShares S&P US Mid-Cap Index XMC-T BUY Dec 07, 2023

US small-cap exposure for an RRSP?

MER of XSU is 0.36%. Around for a dog's age. Replicates small-cap index well. Doesn't have the same valuation challenges as with the S&P 500 and concentration of the Magnificent 7.

Also consider XMC for more mid-cap exposure, MER of 0.16%, has done a bit better.

(Don't forget to incorporate foreign, developed areas from EMs ;)

COMMENT
Doesn't know the company that well, but if you get a slowdown in interest rate hikes, they should do okay. There is not a housing bubble in Canada like there is in the US. The company is well run and a potential takeover target.
TOP PICK
Xceed Mortgage Company is a sub-prime mortgage company. The stock has done well this year. Their dividends have increased. It is a well run company. He paid $9-10.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 9/06. Down 33.5%.) Missed a quarter about 9 months ago. Sold his holdings.
DON'T BUY
Great company until rules of the game changed. Trying to reposition themselves into a company that funds itself from deposits and they're trying to get a deposit and banking license. This could take a long time. Fully valued.
