In Canada, if you are looking for 7 - 14% return, you should also consider Income Trusts. There are closed end trust funds in Canada that hold a basket of income trusts and they yield around 10 - 14% (at least the few I own). On top of that you have capital gains since the funds trade on the TSX and have done very well on their own in addition to the yield.
Even better, many of the funds are extremely tax efficient and a significant amount of the distributions are considered ROC (Return of Capital) so you are not going to be taxed like if it was regular dividend or income...Hell, even one I have (AOG.UN) is 100% ROC.
