I’m also sitting on a bunch of cash with nowhere to put it. Value seems to be a hard thing to come by these days. Although, I’ve recently taken a small position in MMM. I agree that there is some currency risk out there but I believe that MMM has a natural hedge against the US dollar due to their international exposure (60% of revenues outside of the US). If your interested I’ve posted a few items about diversification and currency on my blog. P.S - I really enjoy your blog and have added it to my list of 4 blogs that I link to.

I'm in a similar situation, have a bit of cash sitting around. Everything seems a bit expensive right now. MFC looks good to me. It's not cheap, but taking a long term approach, I'm thinking that timing my purchases now would make a very small difference over the long term. Hello TDG

Great blog. I’m in a similar situation, have a bit of cash sitting around. Everything seems a bit expensive right now.

MFC looks good to me. It’s not cheap, but taking a long term approach, I’m thinking that timing my purchases now would make a very small difference over the long term.

Currency risk is something that absolutely needs to be considered. If things go the wrong way then that could wipe out any gain an investor may have seen in a stock. As Canadian Capitalist mentioned, having too many names can be a problem. Adding some index exposure is an option that I am always looking at. I am fine right now from a time perspective, but as my kids get older that may need to change. Thanks again everyone. TDG Thanks everyone for the comments.

Im also looking at canadian oilsands for a small position. It is coming down to a good entry point, and from what I have read,it does have a 30+ year reserve life. Still have some reading to do.
