have you taken a look at income trusts? i've been finding and buying high yield income trusts (10+% on just the cash distribution) and holding them in one of my self directed RRSP accounts. they're providing a good solid yield on just the cash distribution, and their unit values have all appreciated since i bought them.

there are many mutual funds who take this approach if you want to get a little more hands off. if you go the self directed route, to deal with volatility, you can throw some stops in at 10% below your book value or whatever you're comfortable with. unless something drastic happens like a cash distribution is raised/lowered, there isn't much volitility anyways.

even less risky:

buy airworthy single engine aircraft, probably cessna.

put them out in leaseback to flight schools to cover holding costs.

for the last 20 years single engine cessna appreciation has exceeded real estate and inflation.
